Ok this is my very first review so I hope it goes well

This is a Nicaraguan Puro rolled about a month ago.

this is supposed to be a pretty full bobied cigar. I have not smoked alot of things so I cant compare it to much. Its a little stronger than the Reserva MiraFlor. Not as strong as the Joya de Nicaragua I dont think, that one really kicked my ass but I had not eaten anything all day.

The prelight: I smoked this outside and on a gorgeous day. I could see shiny spots all over the habano wrapper. The foot smells a little compostish but not to much. I dont get much taste off the cap.



on the light It reminded me ALOT of the Reserva Miraflor with a little less black pepper. About a quarter inch in it started getting really spicy like the goviado but still had the black pepper... Both of these flavors stayed til about half way. Which is also where are started to really get a buzz. I stood up to get a drink and i felt a bit dizzy. I went and got some Pink Lemonade. The burn stayed even pretty much even all the way down.. and i mean very even...

The first ash was at 2.25 inches and i didnt snap a picture before hand... but i showed it to s0leful0ne over skype cam. This foto was a little before second ash.



after the half way point the pepper and the spice were pretty much gone and didnt come back. I turned into a very rich creamy taste with a bit of a sweetness that i cant quite attribute to anything off the top of my head. this stayed pretty much through the rest of the cigar.


I got to a point where fingers were to shaky to grip it and I kept dropping it. I have never really "nubbed" a cigar before this one but I hope this one counts. Its as far as I could get it with my fingers



I cant wait to hear what others think of it being me and another friend of mine have been the only ones to smoke it so far.
