I have no idea about the cigars, BUT I do know that Isy is the bombdigity!
I agree. Construction is good; nice cap. Wrapper is handsome; no noticeable veins. They are there if you look for them. Burn is fairly even and self-correcting. Flavor is a little light on the the first third. I would describe tastes as damp earth; charcoal, some pepper notes on the upper palate and almost creamy texture and finish.
When smoking my second stick, I became a little excited when I thought I was detecting orange pekoe tea flavors. At Last! Maybe my palate was becoming more sensitive to flavor nuances. The balloon of exhilaration depleted almost immediately as, alas, I recalled I was accompanying the smoke withe a cup of Lipton. Still, I nice combo.
In summary, flavors intensify but don't change much during the course of the smoke, until the last couple of inches. I would describe the overall flavor as a base of earth-tones with a thin layer of white and black pepper floating on top. For two to three dollars a stick, I'll probably keep some in my KoolAdore. It is as good as most but not all Consuegra's and better than most, but not all, of the JR Limited Editions.
I tried a shorter version of this smoke and didn't like it nearly as much as the Gran Toro. But I only smoked one of the shorties and I've learned not to judge cigars until I've smoked several samples in different settings.

X2, the Ortega Serie D has become a "go to" smoke for me. Thanks Eddie. He also has this blend with two new wrappers coming our in a few months. Can't wait.
