A well made, medium bodied cigar with that very discernable Felipe Gregorio flavor emminating throughout.
If you've had other FG cigars and like them, you will like this.

Smoked one a while back but did not let it rest much prior to trying it. Had a problem with uneven burn is all I remember. Will smoke another tonight; been about a month or more resting. Will let you know.

Not bad for the price. Give em a good nap before smoking.

Nice Medium Taste - some construction problems led to tunnel effect that grew tiresome - However - ability to do the LIMBO has magically improved !!!

I agree with tailgater, easy to recognize who made them. I bought a couple of 5 packs late last year and still have a couple left. Not a bad smoke for the price, I think I paid about $1.50 ea. Have not experienced the buring problems with mine, in fact they have burned very well with a nice volume of smoke. The flavor is not my favorite, a bit bitter about half way through, but overall a good value.

Well, I just nubbed two in the last 24 hours. They came out of a 71%RH humidor and have been resting, I found out, about 13 weeks.

Ras Tafari by Felipe Gregorio Toro
The expensive, prized Cameroon wrapper leaf from West Africa offers a fuller-flavored kick to an otherwise medium-bodied blend of long-fillers, which includes a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican Piloto Cubano leaves. Cigar Aficionado rated it an ‘86’: "This is a medium to full bodied cigar. It has a core of woody and nutty flavors on the palate, with a hint of meatiness on the finish. Some sweetness."
Cigar size: 6” x 50 ring.


IMHO
The wrapper and cap are only mediocre with a slightly under-filled feel to the body. The flavor to me is medium spicy; mostly woody/leather and some nuts. The burn is uneven with an excessively easy draw. They do produce a good volume of smoke but the aroma is a bit obtrusive. The ash is loose and unpredictable. The finish was an improvement from the overall smoke, which I felt was on the dry side. Hey, nice band though!

Opinions are like A$$ holes....sorry.
