I have no idea who did the blend, but the stick smelled just like raisins when I pulled it out of the wrapper.
I got these from one of the brothers here in a trade, I wish I could remember who. My head's a bit soft right now.
The first 1/3 was excellent. The second third was decent but needed some purging to keep it healthy. I didn't get to the last third because sofaman's old lady called and he had to scoot.
Scott and I both loved it. He about peed himself when I told him it was a $1.00 stick. The construction and wrapper are gorgeous, it smells wonderful, tastes great and smokes flawlessly.

The more I work my way through value sticks, the more exceptional cigars I find. Makes me feel simple when I smoke a $20 cigar.
I have a handful of the Esteban Carrera Corojo's, too. Can't wait to try one.
