From TBS-Cigars:
Introduced in 1993, Butera Royal Vintage are true-blended, premium cigars handmade in the Dominican Republic by "first-row" cigar makers. Six distinctive whole-leaf tobaccos from three different countries are blended, including four specific types of long-filler leaves from the rarest Dominican crops. Every cigar is well-aged to maturity in cabinets of fine Spanish cedar and packaged in beautiful Mahogany chests. The spicy, flavorful blend is considered medium in body.

Notes:

Another fine cigar from a TBS-Cigar sampler. First of all this was a HUGE cigar, 7.50 X 48. I don't usually have time to smoke cigars this big but since I was on vacation I thought "Why the hell not"

To be honest I'd never heard of Butera Cigars before, but I'm sure there are a lot of cigars that I've never heard of. Always looking for something new I tried it.

Overall a really nice cigar. It was constructed very well although a little soft. Solid but slightly soft.

The draw was very easy producing tons of smoke. The ash was solid and white and even though soft the ash held together quite well.

The flavor was a very gentle dirt and tobacco. To me this stick was very mild. It had a nice taste and was enjoyable to smoke but as you know I like 'em strong. That being said this is a perfect cigar for mid-day or for those of you that like a mild cigar.
