Notes:

Very well made square pressed cigar with a beautiful wrapper. This cigar burned so even I couldn't believe it and the draw was just right, not too hard yet not too easy. But, the best part of this cigar was the taste. Smooth and flavorful and not a bit of harshness throughout the whole cigar. I would say this was one of the best mild to medium cigars I've smoked in quite some time. This sucker was great!

Notes:

I discovered this brand quite by accident a few years ago, long before I had even heard the name Nick Perdomo. I loved them from the start. These are one of a handful of cigars I always have in my humidor. When a batch starts to get low, I hunt down more, so that they will have a decent amount of time to rest before I get to them. This is the first Rios Extra I have smoked, and although it is a great cigar it's not my favorite of the line. Don't get me wrong, everything about this cigar is perfect, it's just that this one is on the small side and does not seem to deliver that kick-ass punch that it's bigger brothers do. Still this is better than 90% of all the cigars on the market in my opinion. The Pyramid is my favorite.
