I agree with the provided review from Halfwheel

CAO Amazon Basin
6x52
Production Limited to 2000 boxes
Price: $9 at the local B$M

I don't know that it was as good as a regular Brazila Box Press, that may be because my Brazila's in rotation, are two years in the making. Had a box stuck away and they're prime.

Definitive changes in the flavor profile over the course of the smoke. 2nd third was kind of oaky and smooth out.

Not a a bad smoke, but I crave smooth.... This was not it IMO, too much pepper.

I'm not good with the made up comparisons to flavors, it's pass or fail.

This is a pass and I'd smoke more, but will not go out of my way to get em....

Thanks for the review. The tobacco band is a neat touch.

Thanks for the review. The tobacco band is a neat touch.

Yes, very much so....

It's actually tied into the cigar and is smokeable. But, it just got too unpleasant at the end.

Also, I should add that it had a loose draw and produced tons of smoke.
Smoke time start to my finish was 1 hour.
