Anyone heard of ITAR Cigars?

[Chibearsv]

I just received a gift of a single ITAR Toro cigar from Costa Rica.  "Asleep in certified barrels of Rum Centenario" 

Has anyone heard of these or tried them yet? 

I opened the tubo and expected a pop of aroma and got virtually nothing.Their website looks fancy, so maybe it's ok. I haven't got a clue, at least not until I try it out which won't be until I can smoke it outside.

I didn't think we could export those (security joke).

It was purchased at the duty free shop in Belize last week. In keeping with the theme, I figured it was worth a post since it is a tubo. Plus all the fancy muckety muck about the sleeping in a rum barrel. You'd think it would have some aroma at cold, but it's barely got the scent of tobacco going on. The other fun fact is that the cigar is in cello inside the tubo. Never seen that before.

Plus PLUS it's a toro, the most popular size in the States.
