Well, I bought one of these in the Pita size about hearing tons of rave reviews. Generally I don’t buy or care for Box pressed sticks as it truly takes a master to roll a perfect box press(how many Habanos are box pressed?).

Their’s a distinct red hue to the wrapper and overall it was nice but the wrapper was nothing to write how about.

The prelight draw was very tight. After I had this bad boy light the draw was impossibly tight and I had no poker or any other tool to loosen up the draw. Struggling threw the first third it def. had a punch spice with some medium leather.

The second third was consistent with the first but the third was horrible. The third was literally like smoking a tire. The horrible aftertaste lingered in my mouth for hours. I’m a huge punch fan(The Gran Puro pico bonito is awesome relative to the price with some age). This was without question the worse punch I’ve ever had.

I’d love to try another that hopefully has a better draw.

EKG – give it another try, you won’t be disappointed. I think you did get a bum smoke. This is truly one of my favorites – has a very unique flavor.

I smoked a rothschild Rare Corojo, but mine had a very bad and lingering aftertaste. I wish I had read this review before I smoked one at 9 in the morning on an empty stomach, it was far too spicy for my tastes at that time.

I may have gotten a bum smoke with the aftertaste and all, I’d like to try aging this for a few months to see how it comes out.
