Time to go back to the Marco V line. Since they are headquartered in Minnesota, and that is my home state, I feel I am obligated to review all of them in time.
The wrapper is a rare Arapiraca, Brazilian Dark Maduro. The binder is a De Olor, Dominican. The filler is a blend of 4 Premium Tobaccos: Piloto Cubano from the Cibao Valley, Dominican Republic and rare Matanorte, Brazilian Ligero. I am so glad their website (www.marcovcigars.com) tells everything.
This cigar has a nice wrap, feels like a soft leather. Very thick too.
This cigar starts out with a nice spice and earthy flavor. It moves to a smokey cedar and leather with a hint of cream (very small hint at that). At the end you get nutty flavor. Very even in all the flavors. The leather is the only one that is subtle, but the rest are easy to sense. The aroma is very rich as well.
The burn and draw are very good. The draw is a little firm, but not enough to stop you from getting a good smoke.
The price on this cigar is only $8. This is for a V. Gigante which is a 5"X60. This is an hour long smoke. Great price for it. Since cheaper Maduros are usually bad (and really bad at that) this one amazes me. You could easily sell this for $10-$12.
Final Grade: A+
This one sounds great, Josh. I went to their website to see if they sell these in Washington state (apparently not), and it looks like they sell them in every single store in Minnesota lol! Hope I can find one of these to try out sometime.
