Pretty mellow and creamy. Peppery retro. Was definitely a fan. I have this one below San Cristobal Elegancia and Padron Damaso no 8, but very close and holds its own for a $10 cigar.

Regulier, doux, mais un peu cendreux en bouche. Belle cendre qui se tient, fumée peu épaisse et qui ne reste pas trop sur les vêtements et en bouche. Cigare léger à déguster en après-midi ou en fin de matinée. A retester sans avoir fumé d'autres vitoles dans la journée.

Tried this as one of my first cigars. Had a few more "mature" coffee cigars since. Wanted to come back and revisit this cigar to see if I would still like it. Honestly, it's not too bad. The wrapper sweetness gets a little too much about halfway though, but not a show stopper. Decent/light quick smoke. The only thing I don't like is there is no cap.

All time favorite so far in my cigar travels. Great coffee cigar with cream, almond and a little coffee bean flavor. Can't wait to smoke again, hopefully I enjoy that much the second time.

Amazing cigar. Could see this as an everyday with coffee. Mild cedar flavors, with strong creamy smoke. I put this above the Caldwell Eastern Standard Cream, but still below the San Cristobal Elegancia.

I liked this cigar. Very good, beginner coffee cigar. It falls slightly behind the San Cristobal Elegancia. Definite cream, nutty flavor. One thing I didn't like was a fair amount of static smoke on the ash tray.

Eladio Diaz makes great cigars, this is the third kind I smoke from this brand. It’s fantastic. Earthy, wood notes. Not spicy.

Spicy at first, it is a great stick but this specific one had bad draw almost no smoke. But usually it is smooth and enjoyable

Excellent cigare, moyen en intensité mais pas piquant du tout. Très rond en bouche. Une très belle cendre, un fumée un peu forte mais qui ne se ressent pas en bouche. Un cigare du quotidien. A reprendre.

First time with one of these. Flavor was good, I'm just not a huge coffee fan. Mellow some, very smooth.

Really good flavor. Cut the cap waaay to far and had to fight with bits of tobacco on each draw.

Léger, constant, très très légèrement piquant en fin de bouche, avec des bon aromes chocolat. Rond, belle cendre, bon tirage et belle combustion. Un cigare de tous les jours qui permet un bon moment de détente sans avoir besoin de captiver toute l'attention. Bonne odeur de fumée et pas très residuelle par la suite en bouche ou sur les vêtements. A reprendre !!

Great cigar for the price point. Great even smoke. It's nutty with a hint of chocolate. Wrapper is a great.

Second time I smoked it, I immediately ordered a box. One of my favorite cigars. Smooth, full of flavors, consistent, oily but not too much. Love it. Leather, earth. No spicy.

Love it. Had a cruise to Nassau and I found out of this family company which used to make cohibas in Cuba and now produce this brand. Very surprising, it is not the cheapest but the quality is outstanding. I will try to look for a box online. It’s unique taste, complex, balance, clear.

Loved it. Very balanced and complex but smooth. Little strong. I will order a box. Great price. Although it strong and I usually liked milder ones, I found out this is a pure pleasure and the strongness is in the taste not in heaviness or harshness.

Dry pull doesn't impress me much. Maybe some bread notes and some wood. Seems to burn pretty well. Good construction, average draw ability. Some cream and coffee on the first few pulls. A little chocolate coming through. Its a good start of the morning stick but I wouldn't reach for this after 10 am. Final 3rd. This cigar is falling apart. Having to adjust the score due to poor construction. The outter wrapper is disintegrating. Likely poor rh and humidity controls before delivery. Shame!

Gorgeous stick! Dry pull is nothing but mint. Never tasted that in a cigar before. Interesting! Wet pulls is dried fruits and toasted bread w/ honey. Finish leaves a slight herbal taste. Just a whisper of that mint remains after the 1/3rd of the cigar. Incredible construction and above average draw. More spice coming through as it transitions into the 2/3. Would love to try this with a nice high abv bourbon.

Nice semi oily cigar. Good flavor of black coffee and almost a bitter toffee note. Hard to explain. Construction could use a helping hand as this particular stick must have gotten a little too dry at some point. Humidor read 65 rh so who knows. Draw is slightly above average. Goes pretty well with this Guinness im drinking. I've had better but lord knows I've had worse.

Im pleasantly surprised by this stick. Chocolate immediately on dry pull and milk chocolate lit. Good even burn throughout. Above average draw ability. Bread crust/toast lingers a bit on the finish. Lightly sweet corojo wrapper gives it a nice touch. Definitely more medium than full but its nice. Id gladly smoke another 1 around breakfast

Now this is a damn good cigar! She's oily as hell and leather notes creep through instantly with a hint of expresso. Incredibly well made and the draw is perfection. Some toasted nuts with some char finish give it some back bone. I definitely would love to have this again after a nice medium/rare t-bone.
