I remember that I smoked a Bauza cigar a few years ago, when I was still a novice cigar smoker and I remember that I was impressed back then. I never saw them again, until I was in Antwerp earlier this year and I saw some cellophane wrapped 5½x52 pyramids in the walk in humidor of Huis Verloo. It had a pretty steep price tag of € 9,20, but with my previous experience in my mind I decided to pick one up and review it. I can't find much information online on who makes them, just that the filler and binder are Dominican wrapped with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.
![]() The wrapper looks nice and dark, although there are some color differences and there are a few long veins visable. The top of the cigar is quite sharp. The construction feels good and the predraw is fine. I taste tobacco with some pepper on my tongue. The cigar has a stray and hay smell which is quite strong. ![]() I taste a smooth coffee flavor which slowly turns to earth with some wood. After an inch the cigar gets a bit ashy. ![]() After a third I taste earth and herbs, the wood and the ash flavor are gone. Earth is the main flavor. This cigar is flat and kind of boring. The cigar gets a bit spicy after two thirds. ![]() This cigar lasted me for almost an hour and a half and it wasn't half as good as I remembered. The smoke is thin, but I get a decent amount of it. The draw is good, just like the burn. The silvery gray ash is quite firm. This cigar is both medium flavored as medium bodied. I got a nice flame when I purged. ![]() Would I buy this cigar again? No, I smoked better cigars. Appearance: 7 / 10 Construction: 7 / 10 Draw: 7 / 10 Burn: 7 / 10 Smoke & ash: 7 / 10 Aroma first part: 7 / 10 Aroma second part: 6 / 10 Aroma third part: 6 / 10

A guy I work with swears by them but I've smoked a few and was not impressed at all.
