Humidor Primary

The cigar had good workmanship, the cover was nice and smooth, took fire well albeit the ash was flaky. To me tasting a lot of grass, not my thing. The cigar performed well, just not my taste preference.

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.

One thing left in memory was the flaking ash of the cigar. It did not hold well.

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.

Having smoked through a half a box already, i am happy with the consistency the cigar offers. No bumps/pits on the cigars, a bit rough wrapper with defined veins, and a firm grey ash. Slight chocolatey smell, and medium strength smoke with good volume. I am resting these at 69%, but i noticed they burn better after spending a night in my etui. Burn is overall straight, the cigar gets a bit stronger on the final third, but keeping a consistent aroma. For 5.9 Eur a stick, one cant go wrong with this cigar.

A very niche flavor. Strong campfire/cellar coal smell on the cold. As i lit it that scent was overwhelming. Either you love it or you don't. For me it was too much.

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

A mild Cuban, no bitterness, good burn, holds about 2 cm ash. Not exciting in terms of flavor but very pleasant none the less. The draw is a bit tighter than i prefer, but plenty of smoke. Update: Out of the 5 pack i bought 2 had construction issues that affected the burn and taste. One side was tightly packed while the other was loose, that lead to noticeably uneven burn. For the price though, i bought another 5 pack to see if the story repeats itself. Update: Nope, the second box is the same. 3 cigars out of 5 with issues.

Starts off sharp, but mellows down after 5mm. Great short smoke

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.
