The Breakdown
This one has been a long time coming and has been on our list for awhile. Originally created for a shop release, which never happened, this cigar finally made its debut at the IPCPR show in 2014 as a limited edition release.
Can you say construction perfection? It looks to good it almost looks fake. Perfectly symmetrical it actually tricks your eyes into thinking it's not real, but I promise you it is. They just did that good of a job creating this masterpiece.
Both samples smoked had some issues burning as intended, from a tight draw, multiple abrupt outages that caused us to make a few relight attempts. Goes to show you that beauty on the outside doesn’t always mean beauty on the inside.
The cigar undoubtedly has a great balance to it. From the start you get a pleasant creaminess which plays a lead role through the entire cigar, but the enhancements that surround the main component i think are equally as important in making this cigar truly great. Subtle christmas spice towards the middle of the cigar, a nuttiness and butteriness throughout made this cigar not only unique, but one that was extremely palatable.
This cigar commands a high price. It will be tough to buy one under the intended $14.00 price point, which is slightly inflated for this cigar, but if you love that smooth creaminess, we would recommend getting your hands on one to try it.

La Aroma de Cuba
An original Cuban brand from the late 1800s, La Aroma de Cuba has been reborn in the house of legendary cigar-maker, Jose "Pepin" Garcia, in Estelí, Nicaragua. In the wake of its revival, La Aroma de Cuba is now a burgeoning enterprise synonymous with quality and value. Precision blending of the finest, aged Nicaraguan tobaccos provides a consistent medium-bodied profile. Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers rouse rich hints of brown sugar and cool spice. Phenomenal earth and cedar notes endorse the bold, smooth finale.
