Love this box press new exciting cigar of 2017. Nick pulled together a cigar with great complexities of flavor without getting muddy throughout the whole cigar. Loving on the bold flavor of earthy tones mixed with spicy hints. This cigar was really great to smoke while laughing with friends cause it was so to be around. Drew Estate Cigar Co. Nica Rustica

Are you on a diet & you want a BBQ?
Well here it is with no calories to boot. The Nica in this size is a great quick smoke. The smell is like brisket smoking for dinner. It\'s yummy. It\'s a mouth full of smokey wood & earthy notes with the dark oily wrapper that is just beautiful. I love this stick for a ride in the car when I am in thought. Bombay Tobak Mbombay Corojo Oscuro

I really was excited to smoke this cigar. The bad is stunning & that is where it ended. It truly fell short not only is the band a pain & ripped the wrapper but personally I like to leave my band on while I smoke. The flavors were quite muddy in the fact that nothing really stood out. I had to keep relighting & it was plugged. Not worth the MSRP for me Tatuaje Cigars Inc./Havana Cellars Fausto

I have spent a lot of time with the Fausto in every size. Great size for hour-ish smoke. Love the rich oily wrapper that make me think of a good steak. It smokes easily & aroma of warm coco notes with some tanned leather. The taste is full body with spice. A great smoke with a glass of red wine & chocolate moose. Tatuaje Cigars Inc./Havana Cellars

This is a well constructed box press cigar with a pretty marbling on the wrapper. On the dry draw I found hints of cream & sweet tea. Then in smoking I found light grey smoke that stays lit & burns very easily. Flavors start with a creaminess & that tea then changes out to a darker roast coffee & finishes with spice/cedar. I did enjoy it & will smoke it again. Tatuaje Cigars Inc./Havana Cellars Seleccion de Cazador
