The cigar is a full bodied medium flavored cigar. The construction was something to be desired and the draw was very loose. You could tell this was one of the cheaper cuban cigars on the market, but i figured i would give it a try anyway. When i first lit the cigar it had a nice aroma which is custom to Cuban Continue reading the story "Jose L. Piedra CAZADORES – Cuban"

The first one i noticed was a slight chocolate smell followed Continue reading the story "Rocky Patel Vintage 1990"
