Comes wrapped in tissue. Kind of a pretty gimmick. Whouldn't want a whole humi full of tissue wrapped cigars, but a few makes a nice presentation. Fat sucker. Extrememly good construction, slow, even burn. I like this cigar, and yet there is something in the flavor that keeps it from being nearer the top of my list. Vaguely reminiscent of something from Acid, aroma of gin, taste of Earl Grey tea. I dont like Earl Grey tea, although I understand that real tea drinkers like Earl Grey tea. Must be an acquired taste. Anyway, this is a really, really good cigar if the taste profile rings your bells. Give one a try.

LLT,I like these,especially after being aged for a couple of years. OTT,I didn't find those exact tastes but I noted a few off tastes I couldn't discribe.

After revisiting the cigar, I found a most pleasant cigar had emerged. X

Just smoked one today on the golf course and I couldn't agree more with X and Robby. I bought these 2 yrs ago. I like Hoyos and heard that these were of that family. OTT it was just OK, kind of unremarkable, so I buried them in the cooler and forgot about them for a while. Today it was an excellent cigar. 2 yrs in the cooler did wonders.
