This cigar has everything aesthetic I could ask for: a solid rectangular box press, beautiful dark brown wrapper, and a western style “Wanted: Dead or Alive” band. Puerto Rican filler and binder with a Brazilian maduro wrapper, this is right up my alley. My first sniff told me I was in for a deep earthy flavor cigar. It lit and burned even, everything was perfect so far. Everything except for that I hated the taste. I know what it was trying to do, and it did it well, there was some profile changes but mainly earthy and it just is not a cigar for me.
Interesting, but brief, read. I find that most PR smokes are earthly and one dimensional as well.
Thats too bad, I have heard things about El Jefe.
