I received my box of 20 in the mail on Friday. The Esquistio ( Maduro 6x 50) arrived in a nice looking black box with a stamp on the bottom that said “May 2002”. The construction is top notch as usual being from the Villazon factory and it just “smells” like a good cigar. It is my understanding the wrapper is the same as the one used on the Partagas “Black”. The draw was perfect and this smoke was tasty from start to nub. The description is this is a med-full favored cigar. I would say more to the medium side of the scale IMHO. This “best buy” cigar stacks up to many higher priced maduros and will now be in my regular rotation which includes Padron M, Flor de Oliva Grand Maduro, Mayorga M, ERDM, Bacanero Full Sail, Hyo M, Tambor Don Douglas M, Oliva “O” M.
