I have tried this cigar several times, and it has be difficult to determine what to write. Needless to say results have been different each time.
This cigar is made with a Maduro Connecticut Broadleaf, Dominican fillers, and a Mexican binder. This produces a very mild Maduro.
When looked at this cigar I notice that the wrapper was uneven in color on some of them. All of them felt tight though, so maybe it would not matter.
Each one I offer gives a strong earthy tone to it. Sometimes it is like a light coffee. Sadly, this seems to disappear on some. Some of them turn around and become bitter and tart. With the particular size I had I knew to puff slowly. I did that and even still it turned on me. Sometimes though, it is great. Earthy, coffee, hint of sweet. Others, just earthy then bitter.
The burn was just fine on this smoke but the draw is very firm. It takes a decent amount of effort to produce a good smoke, and when you do it causes it to turn sour.
This cigar was a Baron De Rothschild (which is 6.5 x 42) and it runs around $13.50. That is way overpriced for such a cigar. Especially with the inconsistencies. If you get a good one, it is still overpriced.
This one gets a mixed grade. It seems like 1 out of 3 has issues. If it is a good one, it still only gets a C+ to a B-. This though will drop.
Final Grade: F
