Ok, so I have heard so many good things about the maduro that I had to order some...so here it goes...the wrapper is flawless and beautiful and I kinda knew what was in store from smoking other Pepin smokes as far as that signature pepper flavor goes but this was a totally different animal. A little while ago I commented on the regular JJ that I thought it had a lite spice but just didn't do it for me. This puppy upon lighting was a pepper bomb, an explosion of flavor! While spicy, it remained smooth with leathery character and a sour tip of the tongue flavor. I had never tasted this particular flavor in any other cigar prior to the Diamond Crown Maximus. I found this stick even more enjoyable than the DC! It burned flawlessly and drew without hesitation. Really enjoyed this stick! Please try one! This is in no way in the same ball park as the regular white (which I didn't much care for).
