Tonight I smoked #2. 6-6 1/4 x 44/46 Nice dark sungrown or maduro wrapper, just a bit toothy.
Very nice prelight draw, just a bit of resistance and a slight touch of sweetness. Maduro? Very smooth from the first puff. Nice on the nose exhale, with no harshness. Creamy with the hint of sweetness continuing This was the perfect smoke for tonight. Worked late so only had time for one smoke. Wasnt in the mood for anything overpowering and this fit the bill quite well. This was a good mild smoke that I would try again. I am leaning Dominican due to the mild, smooth nature of this stick. But the wrapper has me a bit confused. Not as sweet as some maduro's. I am going to cover my bases on this one and guess either a AF Sungrown 858 or maybe an Ashton Aged Maduro. Its been a very long time since I have had either of these smokes so its kind of a shot in the dark.

Whatever it was, I would recommend this smoke if you are looking for a nice rich, mild smoke.

I thought I was crazy for liking this cigar the way I do. I searched for reviews and even asked for some input about this stick. Just about everything I read was negative. After going back and reading my old post about these, I realized that you bought a box . Check the link for my opinion of these. Cigar #2 was a Diablo Pimiento.
With almost no good reviews and the give away price on these, I was expecting a real $hit stick.Then when I tried it, I thought my expectations were too low and it was an ok stick. Which is why I enjoyed it so much? So I went to it a few more times and everytime this stick just works for me. I would gladly pick this up before plenty of the premiums that I have.

Havent smoked any out of my box yet, but it is good to know the profile. When you are not looking to get kicked in the ass, these are a tasty smooth smoke.
