I’m having one now. Decided to take a chance on it and google it now. Wish I had googled first. It’s a very mild and uneventful cigar. I’ve tasted no such peppery flavors- though I would certainly welcome it. For eight bucks (6×60, I’m guessing), I won’t be buying another Azteca.

There was a release party in AZ on the 10th. So i’m guessing they’re officially released.

Great look at a pre-release! Curious how they will be when they are released. I don’t care for the bitterness in a cigar too much, but I will still give them a shot.

Absolutely and it is even more important that people try this cigar themselves since I only had the single stick. It could have been the best Azteca made to date or it could have been the worse. No way to tell until I get the chance to smoke some more and get a feel for their consistency.

Thanks for the comments.

Walt,

I’ll have to keep an eye out as I enjoy most of the Gran Habano line.

I’d also remind everyone that no matter the review, its worth a try yourself in most cases.

Sounds like a rather boring smoke, but at least you got a chance to sample something pre-market.

My guess is that the vapor rub taste may have been from too much ammonia in the cigar, but who knows. I can’t stand it when a cigar is bland and there’s nothing really going on. Sometimes I’d rather have a horrible cigar so at least there’s a good reason to put it out, haha. But it is just a pre release so we’ll see how the final product is when they come out. Thanks for the review Walt! I would have had no idea Gran Habano was coming out with a new cigar if it weren’t for you guy!
