Two inches in and the burnline is already as crooked as you come to expect from a Cuban cigar. Let's hope it's not a sign of things to come, construction-wise.

There are some exciting flavors in this cigar but for me, they are too few and far between.

Five years old, this classic Cuban stick. It's probably not going to get any better than this.

Not a lot going on, flavor-wise. Draw is tight and not a lot of smoke gets through.
