Humidor Primary

The first thing that stands out visually is the wrapper color. The cigar does not have a cellophane wrapper and is very delicate. unfortunately i failed to protect it properly and to my fault the wrapper cracked on mine. When you pick the cigar up you can feel the heftiness of it. It definitely has some weight to it. Despite of the ring gauge i did not find the cigar offensive. THe hexagonal shape is quite interesting to behold, but the cigar looses it shape as it burns. Mild smoke, and plenty of it, retro-haling was not an issue and i can characterize the smoke as Silky Smooth. Mine had a bit of burn issues, but nothing major. The fact that i did not take very good care of the cigar came up during the smoke as well, the wrapper was cracking as it burned through.

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.

Very smooth dark wrapper, tight roll and nice contrast with the band. Pleasant scent unlit. Given the very dark color of the wrapper i was expecting a strong punch from this smoke. To my pleasant surprise, the smoke was mild and creamy. The thing i would knock points for would be the draw, as it was rather tight. Even cutting more of the cap did not help a great deal. This smoke is to be enjoyed slowly, without huge draws, as it got quite hot when i tried that. Definitely buying again.

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 cold smell on this stick reminds me of the My Father La Promesa, but that heavy sweet smell is not so dominant. The 3 sticks I smoked so far all had even construction, and a nice brown wrapper with small veins. A bit tight on the draw for me, this box pressed cigar takes fire well and burns pretty evenly. From the start I can taste the sweetness with a heavier note like nougat. Plenty of thick creamy smoke gives presence to the pleasure. No pepper on the retro hale, only after the second third a very mild pepper on the back of the throat. The cigar keeps its flavor profile in the final third as well, although the strength picks up. For me, a box worthy cigar.

Rustic finish, which matches the band. Thick, toothy wrapper and no noticeable bumps or pits. Cold draw does not give out sweetness for me. I got a bitter hit on light up, i even thought i seared the cigar, but it cleared up from the second puff. From then on a mild smoke which reminds of cocoa. Even on the final third it kept its mild strength and flavor profile. Such a mild smoke i don't have issues chewing on it while i work in the garden.

Beautiful band, a bit loosely rolled, fine wrapper. My cigar looked boxpressed. Cold smell is beautiful, I find it much nicer than the 10th Anniversary Sungrown, I just sat down and enjoyed it for a while prior to light. Good burn with a lot of smoke. Ash is a bit flaky and does not stay more than 3cm. Taste wise a bit too spicy for me.

I have 2 Queens patiently waiting in my humidor for 3 months now. What i can say from an optical perspective is that the wrapper is nice and smooth, rolled tight and just love the band.

The first cigar I smoked that I did not want it to end. Shame I did not have another one in my humidor the first time. Perfect short smoke (~ 40 min). I am not experienced enough to give it rating regarding flavors noted, but I have no negative afterthought. The wrapper is dark and gritty, burn is good with beautiful ash. Runs a bit hot near the end, can change the flavor if smoked too fast. A permanent spot in my humidor.

Same taste profile for me as the Mi Querida Gordta, but with more volume. I smoked it outside on a windy day, but still held the ash and did not have burn issues. Perfect companion for long walks.

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.

Much better construction than the Diplomat version of this cigar. The thing that stood out to me was the razor sharp burn. The same dark oily wrapper and a classy band. This stick had excellent draw. Unlit it smells earthy and sweet. The taste profile for me was earth, sweetness, some slight espresso bitterness, and a bit of pepper on the tongue. The cigar has a linear taste profile, but picks up strength in the final third.

A large robusto with a dark rustic like wrapper and a "dark" sweet cold smell. When placed on the lips it leaves a slight bitter taste. My copy was rolled tightly but had a lighter draw than i prefer. I had to correct the burn in the first third, after wards it was ok. Medium strength smoke with good volume, flavors for me were mostly espresso with slight sweetness sporadically occurring.

The cigar construction is good. Rolled tightly with no bumps/soft spots. Draw was a bit tight. Held ash for cca 2 cm, but the taste profile did not excite me.
