Picked up a few of these on my trip home to FLA along with some Gonzalez y Martinez(hand rolled at the Columbia Rest.) which I enjoy. These are Hand rolled in Tampa. White band with yellow and red lettering. These have a nice looking colorado wrapper that is finished off in a pig tail. Construction seems to be good. No soft spots, good draw.

These are a bundled cigar that are inexpensive, and I do not know the origins of the tobacco. I have to admit that I was not expecting much from these smokes. I had never heard the of the brand, but I like to buy the local cigars when I can to help support whats left of the industry there.

With that said, I lit this one up last night. It was a pleasant surprise. Even burn, fantastic flavors. This cigar produced a lot of thick white smoke that seemed to hang in the air for a long time. It also had a very nice aroma. Thats a good combination. I enjoy the lingering aroma of good cigar after it has been smoked. The flavors this cigar produced surprised me as well. I am not the best at describing these, but the flavors seemed to change (in a good way) in the second half. It started out with notes of sweetness and spice, then, in the second half, it produced a nutty/woody flavor in addition. I nubbed it.

I truly enjoyed this cigar(More so than some of the more costly brands that I have in storage), and I would recommend it to anyone as a good inexpensive cigar hand rolled in the Tampa, USA.

I made a point to ask if they would ship these, and now I am glad I did!

Has anyone else had any experiences with this brand?
