Can you see the resemblance to the L40? They may be a bit stronger and sweeter, but aside from that, I'd think JDrew tried to copy that cigar with this effort.
Another almost identical is the 5 Vegas A maduro and the Esteban Carrera maduro (discontinued). The Carrera had a hint of raisins that's missing in this stick, and was actually more complex at around 2 bucks a stick.
There are a ton of Rocky maduros that are very close to this profile, the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte and Indian Tabac maduro come to mind immediately. Both $2-$3 sticks, or less. I've bought many at less than 2 bucks.
Here's the thing, it's one of my absolute favorite flavor profiles, and I've chased this profile to the ends of the earth. At a time, it's all I'd smoke to the tune of 5 sticks a day. That's why I liked it.
But it's a "beginner stick" in the profile, albeit well done. This profile should lead a guy to Padron Anni's and Anejo and LGDiez Vintage maduros and oscuros at the same (or similar) price-point. Those sticks do much, much more for the coin.
