"My favorite small maduro"
This is my favorite small maduro cigar; the reason is taste and aroma.
The taste and the light aroma are full but not overpowering, with hints of black cherry.
The taste is complex with a fine, mellow aftertaste.
This is not a full-bodied nor a spicey cigar, try a Honduran brand for that.
The prelight aroma is earthy, wonderful.
The construction is consistent and firm.
The volume of smoke is abundant for such a small cigar.
The draw is easy.
The shape is novel.
In short, it is my favorite maduro shorty.

"Got Tweezers?"
Simply calling this a cigar is like calling espresso coffee. The first one I smoked I got in the town where Sacto. King Ron "Misdemeanor" Artest lives and gets arrested in (Loomis). When I was selecting a stick for "when I was short on time" the owner of the store said I'd be surprised how long it would last. That's because this double ligero is practically dripping in oil. I looked at it in wonder for a couple of months, then took it to a friend's shop when we had a smoke fest. I was totally unprepared for the big flavor in this small cigar. It was so good I grabbed an alligator clip from one of his wood projects to smoke it all the way down to practically nothing. To call it a "finger burner" is a gross understatement. These aren't for the timid. I just wish Rush Limbaugh woulda kept his mouth shut about these so they weren't so hard to get. Back then I had to call the place up in Loomis to grab the last 5 he had. I hope Famous gets more back in stock soon. They're a must-try if you like a flavorful cigar that has a good kick!

"Great little cigar"
I like this cigar I prefer the el Jocko which is an unusual shaped cigar that I smoked to the very last nub.
