Notes:

I have to concur with Larry on the La Floridita. It is an excellent value cigar. Hell it's an excellent cigar at any price. I smoked mine on the golf course with three non smokers and they even gave me an unsolicited comment about how excellent the aroma was. This cigar will definitely go into the starting lineup in my humi.

Notes:

I got this cigar from a friend. The first thing I noticed about this particular stick...this may sound stupid, but it reminded me of my car. To me, it's a beautiful car. It's far from perfect, but the thing that strikes me about it is that from every angle, it looks and feels right. The doors look right, the front grill looks right, the rear looks right...closing the doors feels perfect. This cigar was the same way. Everything was right about it.

I liked looking at this stick so much that I hated to have to burn it, but I did anyway. It lived up to expectations and more. It burned evenly, and the draw was consistently free and easy.

The construction was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The ash burned a brilliant white, and was perfectly even the whole way down. Ash got to be nearly two inches. I should also note that this cigar's burn rate was so even that it was forgiving of a lousy lighting. I didn’t even light it up as well as I should've but the cigar corrected it on its own. 99% of the time if that happens, it'll start to canoe pretty early. Not with this one. It evened out on its own.

Finally, the flavor. It had a great aroma, with volumes of toasty smoke, and a spicy, flavorful wrapper. The flavor was also pretty consistent the whole way down. The flavor was full but not even a little bit harsh. For a medium/full flavored cigar, it was still incredibly mellow and subtle. Well done.

This was a hell of a smoke. For $21.95 for a bundle of 20 at famous-smoke.com , you cannot possibly go wrong. I'm sorry this ran a little long, but I loved this cigar.
