purchased two out of actual box bundwallah is showing above.

found the first 2/3'rds very enjoyable. Great burn. No issue with the dark wrapper.

likely the best "fresh" le I smoked.

then the last 1/3 came.

talk about a powerful punch. both my friend and I had to sit down to finish.

I smoke Sig 1's, BPC, and other strong cigars...and boy, this one ended with a punch.

Can’t wait for these to show up on the good ole 24.

You never hear about Cubans that are strong enough to make you sit down like that. I'm intrigued. Will definitely be sampling these. Thanks for the heads up

yah, if it was just me, I would think maybe it was something internal (something I ate, external temperature - it was 36 degrees Celsius with the humidex and we were in the sun)...but it was both of us....right at the same point in the cigar.

due to the great conversation I don't feel I smoked it too quickly either...

but again, it was a great cigar. I would absolutely smoke another.

12€80 in Germany.

And funnily enough, cheaper than in Spain - that’s unusual

Spoke to a few people who purchased boxes. Best not buy this one blind as there seem to be quite a few boxes with horrible wrappers out there.I will probably sit this one out. More exited about the Senadores and I don't have space for the two of them.

I used to not but here lately some of the younger Cubans I have smoked have had the nicotine kick of a Nicaraguan. I smoked a Royal Corona like that a while back...

Some shots from Toronto. Nice laquered box. About $40CAD
 

The Canada tobacco tax blows my mind.

We have to pay for all the government waste and mismanagement some way.

basically, when ordering abroad, the idea is to plan to double your original purchase cost.

excise tax is 89% or something. Add GST and some handling charges and you are 100% of original cost.

makes it an expensive hobby.
