This is a long thin cigar described as a “slim panatela” in most cases. It is slightly darker than some Cuban cigars I have seen but not so dark that I suspect fraud.

It is difficult to get an unlit smell off of this, maybe due to the small ring. There is an earth note when the cap is licked and on the cold draw there is more of this earth note with more of a “low end” to it.

This cigar has musk and earth notes in the beginning with an light spice on the finish. As the cigar moves on there are more spice notes but it slowly gets sweeter as it continues. Near the end of the cigar there starts to get more of the classic Cuban profile with a sharper earth flavor. This is a decent smoke that lasts about an hour for a slow smoker.

i cant say im overly impressed but by no means am i upset with it.
