This is a new company, and they sent me a few smokes to try. I am a Maduro fan, so this is the first review I have to write.
This shape I have seen been called a perfecto or diademas.
This cigar is a Nicaraguan Puro.
The construction on this one felt a little soft, but I think it was a little more moist than it should have been. When I received this cigar there was a cold snap and the wrapper had a crack. The binder was fine though, so I took that into consideration.
The flavors on this were nice and mellow, but not subtle. You knew they were there. It started off with a rich earthy and chocolate flavor, mixing into what seems like a dark roast coffee. Over it all was a nice pepper note to it. The aftertaste was a nice earthy tone with some pepper in it.
This cigar had a firm draw for a perfecto, but not a problem. Still got a great smoke. There was a large vein in this one, but that did not cause a problem with the burn. The crack in the wrapper did not even cause an issue, which is saying something. The ash on this was a perfect white and it got about a third of the way down before falling off.
They say this cigar will be around $7. That is a darn good price for this smoke (perfecto or diademas shape, 6x52). Other than the firm draw, there was nothing wrong. Also, that price is not set in stone since it is not out, which makes grading difficult. But, the range it is in remains the same.
Final Grade: A
