I smoked 2 of them the other night. First they are a beautiful cigar and have a great aroma. Great packaging and feel. Prelight cigars were all identical with silky smooth reddish wrappers. Draw was near perfect on both I smoked, with plenty of blueish smoke. I had the first one at the beginning of the night with a Diet Coke. It was very mild with a bit of a bitter tang from the H2000 wrapper. I have been smoking a lot of Maduros lately so this tang took some getting used to. The cigar burned evenly all the way past the band, and did pick up in the flavor department after the widest part of the cigar. The last 2 inches of this cigar was the best part of it. However I had to head inside so I had to pitch it during the best part. Later that night i went to a big party where I had a Indian Tabac Fluted cigar, a Consuegra #9 Maduro and a Poderozo Robusto. My6 last cigar of the night was the other Santa Damiana Torbusto, and this one was a lot better to me. Maybe it was the 10 shots of tequila, or the 12 or so beers I had in me at the time, but I really enjoyed this one. It was much more flavorful right from the beginning, and showed a lot more full bodied earthiness that the first one lacked.
Mike's rating out of a possible 5pts.
Considering the value of this cigar...3.9 a great buy!
