Smoked one a couple of weeks ago when the Macanudo rep was at my local B&M. She was giving one to everyone who came in which was really nice. My take on it is that it is a pretty good cigar with more flavor than other Macanudos I have smoked. The flavor improved as I smoked it and I bought a couple more to put in the humidor for later. I didn't have a lot of time to sit and enjoy and really rushed through it. There were some burn issues about halfway through.
