Very good build quality! I have seen sticks that cost 3 times more that were in worse shape. The satin finish on the band is a nice touch. The smoke is very mild, even as a beginner i could retro-hale without any irritation. This smoke is for when you just want to unplug and take a calm cruise, no taste surprises, just a mild smooth smoke

A wonderfully smooth and dark brown wrapper covers my stick. The cold smell gives me a nice cocoa powder smell. The draw is optimal without taking too much off the cap. It takes fire well and i had to touch it up only once throughout the whole smoke. From light up i get pepper on the front of the mouth and a flavor that develops in wood and cocoa butter like experience in the first third. Wood joins and cocoa grounds are the main notes for me, with a creamy smoke bellowing out. Picks up in strength in the final third, the pepper intensifies, but burns cool and some leather and earth creep in. A wonderful long smoke that i am happy to repeat!

The second iteration of the original Prensado follows with the same quality construction, the only difference i could find on my stick was a little wrinkling near the cap, a consequence of the box-press. This had no effect of the smoking experience. This stick has a bit more kick than the original Prensado. I get the same sweet nougat, but more pepper is demonstrated on the mouth and retrohale at light up. Half way in the first third the pepper subsides, leaving sweetness and nougat as the main driver. This stick produces huge quantities of creamy, chewy smoke. A few puffs before final third the pepper comes back with a vengeance, picking up in strength on the mouth and showing up on the retro-hale. Sweetness is subsiding and leather takes over the stage, combined with tingly pepper on the mouth. It gets stronger but not overpowering, but tends to run hot in the final third, so care is taken not to puff too often. Overall a tasty cigar, nice transitions and if you found the original Prensado too mellow, give this one a chance.

Ah how the sweet smelling cigar invites. The wrapper is smooth with thin veins in a deep brown color with ruby like red note. The cut is clean and cold draw is good. After light up a mild pepper on the retro hale. Soon it meellows down delivering a nice smooth smoke with a sweet like finish. It stays in that domain up to the band. As soon as i removed the band the pepper showed up again, the cigar picked up in strength and acquired a slight dirty finish. That still did not discourage me to smoke it to the nub. Very recommended.

Very smooth Connecticut wrapper. i like the cedar wood wrapper. Smell reminds me of a fruity note. Took in fire well, very mild smoke. No bitterness but also not a lot of flavor development for me. It burned well, the draw was adequate, however id did not produce copious amounts of smoke. Whenever you feel like scaling down, enjoying a creamy smooth taste, pick one up. I know i will

The cigar is a classy presentation with a milk chocolate wrapper. Cold draw gives sweetness and the draw is perfect. It takes fire well and burns evenly, good news for a box pressed cigar. The smoke has volume and is mild to medium in strength, and gives a multitude of creamy flavors. Nuts, sweetness, Coffee and Chocolate are present throughout the whole smoke. Only a little bit of white pepper on the back of the mouth in the second third. What stood out to me is the cool smoke, and a mint tea finish.

Starts off mild but strong near the final third. For the price, great smoke! This is my daily driver now.

The dark wrapper encased in a cedar shell ends at the top with a nice pigtail. Out of the cellophane the smell reminded me of a camp fire, but not intrusive, just enough to spark memories. Initially the cigar leaves peppery note on the lips. Straight form light up i could feel the full strength of the cigar, but its not overly spicy, no burning sensation on the tongue, you just feel the boldness of the smoke.. A lot of smooth smoke coming out and draw was just perfect. The cigar burned evenly, forming gray compact ash that ashed at about 2 cm. I cannot pin point the flavors it gave me, but i keep coming back to the feeling while smoking it. Definitely Saka's "Dang" was there in the second half. Its like a specific flavor in my mouth, that on one hand is off putting while drawing me in at the same time. For me, excellent full bodied, full strength cigar. The price is steep, but worth the experience.

The photo does not give this cigar justice. The wrapper is shiny brown from the oil, and I love the embossed flower on the band, it works very nice. Format wise the cigar sits well in hand, it is evenly rolled and feels compacted. The cold draw points me to an issue, the draw is too tight for me. Still sweetens coming on the lips is obvious. After light up, it started burning wobbly in the first cm, but even after that for the whole smoke keeping ash in 3 cm intervals. The tight draw for the first 2 cm prevented production of much smoke, but one I was past the mark, boy did it start going! Large volumes of creamy sweet smoke were bellowing out. Strength on the mid plus mark, it does give pepper on the mouth and retro hale, but just enough to keep things interesting. Until the final third sweetness, creaminess and coffee were the main flavors I tasted. In the final third the sweet notes went away and leather took the stage. It started of with question marks, but finished with a bang. I like this.

The stick is covered in a thick, scratchy dark wrapper. The finish is rough, but high quality none the less. The cold smell gives reminds me of coal and manure. It takes fire well and produces sufficient amount of creamy smoke. The draw on my stick is just a liitle bit looser than i prefer. Strength wise this is a very mild cigar. Flavors I'm getting are sweetness, some coffee, licorice and sporadically a salty mineral note. Pepper is nowhere to be found throughout the whole smoke.The burn is overall good (smoked in high wind) and forms a grey compact ash. A nice combination of flavors, but i am missing that punch that the Habano version has. An experience to repeat.

I am very pleased by the Magnum 50. Usually i find Cuban cigars too sharp, but this is not the case here. The cigar is an example of a perfectly crafted Habano, no defects and a characteristic cold smell. Construction was even and the burn was consistent and straight throughout the whole cigar. It gave plenty of creamy smoke with one clearly defined flavor for me, a fresh ripe walnut. It is a specific zingy flavor that a freshly picked walnut gives on the mantle. Mild/Medium strength smoke with no bitter aftertaste. A true enjoyment!

Same as the Rotschild, the Titan has a nice construction and a classy presentation with the Cedar sleeve. Once out of its wrapping you are presented with a fine, smooth conneticut wrapper, rolled without bumps or soft spots. being a 60RG, you do need a bigger cutter to get this cigar ready to light. Toasting goes well and takes in light without issues. Mild smoke, good amount of smoke produced, and a slightly irregular burn (no need to touch up) and firm white ash forming on the end. I have noted before Conneticuts are not my thing, and so i wont comment the taste much. No bitterness, just not the taste profile i prefer.

Surprisingly mild cigar with a nice presentation. Triple band, one on the bottom and 2 near the final third. I like the fact i gives me a band even near the end of the smoke. This is the first cigar where i could taste the sweetness i was smelling before i lit it. Starts of mild, retrohaling with no issue, but near the final third picks up in strength. The only nick i could find was an uneven burn in the first third, which corrected itself. Firm white ash and plenty of smoke. Overall very enjoyable.
