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

In January, Robert Spoden of Bucanero Cigars told us about his company’s philosophy of focusing its resources on making great sticks, not marketing. The six inch by 54 ring gauge Treasure Belicoso is a good case in point. This Costa Rican puro boasts a smooth, leather-like flavor and excellent construction. You can expect to pay between $90-100 for a cedar chest of 16.

Verdict = Buy.
