Anyone ever try this line from DE?

At $3.27 a stick, I had to give them a try.

I bought a Maduro and a Corojo both in the Gordo size as it was all they had.

I tried the Maduro one but haven't got around to the Corojo yet.

My first thoughts were that the wrapper tasted funny, maybe just a luck of the draw type of thing on that.

The flavor of the wrapper faded quickly though. The cigar itself sort of reminded me of a Brick House cigar.

Not real powerful and strong tasting but decent flavor. Not to sure how to describe the flavor other than the typical Nicaraguan flavor profile.

Burn was pretty good although I did have to correct it a bit. That may be due to the humidor I got them out of, I think they are kept a little on the wet side in there.

For the price of the cigar, I give it a thumbs up.
