Snippet from Perelman's Pocket Cyclopedia of Cigars 1998 edition ...
ANTONIO Y CLEOPATRA PRIVATE RESERVE
Hand-rolled in La Romania, Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Indonesia
Binder: USA / Pennsylvania
Filler: Dominican Republic, Jamaica
Grand Corona (Palma) (tubed) 6 1/2 X 46
The famous brand of Antonio y Cleopatra, named for the
legendary Roman and Egyptian lovers of antiquity ( together, more or less, from 44-31 B.C.E. ), again graces a hand-rolled cigar! Introduced in late 1997, this four-shape range is macine-bunched with the Javan wrapper rolled by hand. It is mild-to-medium in body.

Let me know if that Don Alberto is any good.
It was a "Joya del Jefe" of its time, but wondering if 13 years may have helped.
