Padronnie,

I think that may have something to do with the different cameras used to produce the two photos. I remember this cigar looking less impressive in person.

Also, I'd have to say the Vintage Select looks more like the Dona Flor than the Alonso — especially when you consider color.

Still, this cigar's wrapper is anything but perfect. Rough, bumpy textures and coarse veins dot its landscape.

At least from the photo, the butera wrapper looks considerably less rough/rustic than the Alonso Menendez.

Thanks for the great review. Sounds like this cigar would be an excellent option for those of us who have a hard time finding Dona Flors and Alonsos — but still need a Mata Fina fix.

And for the flavors and construction you describe, I'd have no qualms about laying down $8 for one of these.
