Notes:

All I can say is that this review is exactly the same as the Esplendido review, the only thing different is the shape of the stick.

This stick is a big, black, box pressed, power house. It's as smooth as a baby's butt, but it's not a wimpy little cigar. The flavor is pure, strong, top of the line tobacco. I've smoke dozens of these things in a couple of different sizes and never once have I had a bad one. If you like a nice mellow kind of smoke stick to Macanudo, because this ain't your cigar. But if you like a cigar that will satisfy your urge for a good old fashioned ass kickin' then this is your cigar.
