OK, so I decided to write a short review of this DPG. I've smoked a few "Cuban blends" and thought this was the most interesting thus far.
The wrapper is a beautiful dark brown color. The contruction is great, firm with no soft spots. The pre-light draw was just perfect, not too loose and not too tight.
The first few draws were quite surprising. I am not all that great with flavors, but it was toasty for dang sure. But what was surprising was the spiciness. With every draw, the peppery spiciness lingers on your tongue for a long time. I was at first worried that I might not be able to smoke the whole thing. I recently had a CAO Itallia Novella that stayed strong and spicy though out and I almost had to put it down. But then the spiciness of the DPG tamed after the first few draws to a point of being tasty.
After about an inch, the spiciness gone away and the other flavors became dominant. At that point, this cigar was a great smoke. It reminds me of some CCs I've had before. However, about half way down, this flavors gone away somewhat. It became a smooth smoking cigar and not the flavor bomb it was at first. Although it was still an enjoyable smoke, it didn't finish as strong as I would have liked. I would have to say that it wasn't a very complex cigar, but enjoyable regardless.
