This maduro is a box press, beautiful band - nice looking stick. It lights well and the flavor kicks in immediately - is sort of a "clean" dark roasted coffee. No sissy latte stuff - just black and strong. - and stays consistent all the way to the end. It burns evenly and the ash is nice and tight Great clouds of smoke, super aroma. It burns slow - lasted for over 2 hours with only one re-light.
This is way beyond my normal price point - but was a gift from a friend. However, it is one I would
definitely purchase again for a special occasion! It is a great smoke and worth every dollar.
