Excellent review Excel; By far my favorite JdN and truly a strong cigar!

My favorite vitola for this line would be the Azarosa (4 1/2" x 52). I would still consider this the strongest cigar I've ever smoked.

Drew Estate President Steve Saka described this cigar as a "nicotine I.V. drip".

It uses 75% Ligero which can sometimes cause these cigars to burn erratically. Because of this, I would recommend dry-boxing before smoking and if you are trying to relight a part that is going out, do it away from your face! I had a friend try to relight half of the stick that had gone out and while puffing on it, this cigar created a fireball that nearly scorched his eyebrows off. It was hilarious and the flames didn't go out by simply blowing on it; it took a few tries.

Still a great cigar that I would consider box-worthy because they are damn good now and I think they have fantastic aging potential.
