Tastes like a decent Honduran bundle cigar. The bitterness I'm going to wager is some Mexican leafage in there somewheres. I don't buy the ad copy on the TB site for a second… "very rare old Cuban seed" etc. etc. But it holds together pretty well and was pungent enough to chase the wife out of the garage tout suite, so it's good for something I reckon.

I'll be posting a full review of these soon on my site. Basically, I found the construction to be better than most 'bargain cigars'. Draw and burn were good. Taste was OK, but it left that tell-tale 'bargain bitter' aftertaste. If you had to buy a cheap cigar, this one is better than most. But that's it.

I've found when I get the bad taste near the end a quick purge helps.
