I preface this review by saying,I have smoked the Connecticut wrapped version of these and found them mild and bland..but well-made!

These..on the otherhand were simply..SUBLIME!!!

The look of these are Dark,oily and mouthwatering!

Pre-light Aroma:
Smelled of spices and licorice with a candy sweet smell.

Burn:
Punched and lit well with a RAZOR straight burn and an ash that held for almost 2 inches.These vitola's were perfectly constructed and well-filled with a generous amount of tobbacco!

Draw:
Absoluteley perfect with just enough tug and volumes of generous smoke.

Taste:
There are not enough adjectives to describe the taste of this cigar!It changed constantly from sweet spices,chocolate,vanilla,licorice,white pepper and Dark Roast Coffee flavors!This cigar was extremeley complex with a medium body and I was thoroughly impressed!There was no-bitterness as I believe these tobbaccos to be very well-aged!

Bottom line:
Just a fantastic cigar that will really satisfy you from beginning to end!

Thank God I have a whole box!

Nice review Hendrix. Now I will have to get some to try! I am always looking for another good maduro.

I had a CT-wrapped Savinelli ELR *once* that matched your description of "sublime". But when I bought more of them, they were closer to mild and bland.

But that's a great price.

If I remember correctly, these are made by the Fuentes.

Yes the Maduros are 'sublime'. Damn good!!!

Smokin' review Greg. Sounds like a fine stick.

Smoked some CT wrapped recently that were about three years old. Much better than younger ones I have tried. From your description I will have to try these. Great review!!
