Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

The six and 1/8 inch by 52 ring gauge Gispert Maduro Belicoso has a slightly rough Colorado brown San Andres wrapper and a slight box press. The pyramid-shaped smoke features simple but pleasant chocolate and earth flavors. Construction was just average with an easy draw and solid ash, but uneven burn. Still, at well under $4 a stick by the box, it’s a cigar I can easily recommend.

Verdict = Buy.
