Well, here goes my first review. I got this little gem from a monthly cigar club that I joined from Cigar Internationals website. I've been hooked every since. Some of the basics:
Ring Gauge: as stated before 50
Length: 5.0" my favorite length.
Filler: Blend of Cuban-seed Nicaraguan and Cuban-seed Dominican
Binder: Nicaraguan (straight off there website)
Wrapper/Color: The wrapper was a pleasant brownish tan color. It was a corojo wrapper.
This gem has been produced in the Miami area for quite some time now by Don Pepin Garcia. It was only recently that it was unleashed on the wild masses. The cigar light up fine with a nice peppery smell. The ash was a light white color. The immediate taste was a nice mild earth and pepper flavor. As I smoked the cigar, slowly but surely a distinct leather flavor developed and the ash got a bit darker (I've never really noticed that before in any cigar). About a quarter of the way in, the cigar had developed a full flavor of earth and leather, with a nice spice note on the end of each puff. It burned pretty consistently with a nice tight draw. The last quarter of the cigar mellowed a little bit but the spice really picked up. You could say that it was at the back of the palette until this point, when it came charged straight ahead, yelling for attention. Overall it was a fantastic cigar.
