Thought I'd piggy-back on Moe's thread to add a few pictures & review of my own.

Braved the cold & wind to smoke a #5 today. Rugged looking, oily & toothy wrapper. Well constructed. Definitely a complex & flavorful smoke. I was first hit with some wood & floral-like notes, all covered in pepper. About midway it turned earthy, with bitter chocolate & some more pepper. The aftertaste was tobacco & wood.











I enjoy these short med/full-bodied smokes. Not as much as the Illusione 68, but these are still very good.

I always pass over them because of the $9 price tag.


I really like saying "La Riqueza" though. I roll the R, like "La RRRRRRIQUEZA" and I say it with an exaggerated accent.
