Very nice review. I have been smoking Non Plus from an 03 box. Have had some pretty significant draw problems with around half of them. When they draw well, it is a very nice, mild-to-medium bodied cigar.

I like the photos with the review. Thanks.

As for the Non Plus, I have smoked about half a box from 1998. While they are very, very good, I couldn't score them as high as you did this one. Of course individual tastes vary widely, but there are a number of other Marevas that I personally prefer. The Non Plus to me make a nice, sort of salty, change or pace.

I have always been a big fan of the 98's. When smoked slowly they can be 1 hour of heaven, smoke them fast and it is like sucking salt water through a garden hose.

I just saw this post and remembered I have an unopened box from Czar a month or 2 ago that I recieved. Looks like my mind is made up for my morning cigar tomorrow.

Hababohal............. Hope you enjoy it mate. It was interesting that Joe and Van both mentioned a salty hint, to be honest I did'nt pick up on this but I find that if someone mentions a certain flavour, more than not you pick up on it.

I have read a few articles were Tobacco grown close to the ocean can have a salty taste ?? I wonder if it's from a windswept effect on the actual leaves or the soils become more impregnated with salts ? Interesting thought.:-)

nice pics!!

the non-plus were a great introduction to cubans for me back in

99-00. haven't had many since but they remain a fond memory.

Have gone through quite a few boxes of them. To me they are a salty wild cherry flavor, more flavor pronounced when they are younger

Very cool review with the pics. I have a couple of these loose that I have yet to try, maybe tonight is the night after this review.

Only had these in the humidor a few weeks and could'nt resist giving one a try.

Great appearance although a little loose leaf towards the foot. Nice unlit aroma and well constructed cap.

Masses of leaf still burning in the centre.

This was a great surprise as I did'nt expect too much from this cigar. It's the first time I have tried one (and not the last !) This had great flavour and although maybe a tad mild for some it hit the spot for me. The burn and aroma exceptional. 92/100:-P :-P
