Not sure why this line is called oscuro, it doesn't even come close.

The flavors in this cigar are very distinctive. I can't think of another cigar like it. Maybe the Pilon in terms of distinctiveness but not the same flavor profile.

All in all a very interesting cigar. The difference between this XO Oscuro and the previous XO is a lot bigger than between the Anejo 18 and the XO was.
