Taíno were a group of Carribian island natives and were said to be responsible for introducing Christopher Columbus to the Western world of Premium Tobacco. I appreciate the name in its symbolic nature to what tobacco mean’t hundreds of years ago. Now it’s time to see where this Taíno stacks up today.
Typically there is always a production flaw of some sort, either apparent or hidden, but for the first time in a long time (maybe ever) I have a found a cigar that was so perfectly produced and without flaws. I actually spent a few minutes marveling at the overall quality.
The burn was pretty exceptional as well minus a fairly tight draw, the noticeably loosened up over time, like a basement dwellers first date that wasn’t with a chat room partner.
Overall flavor balance is where I feel this cigar falls short, and although it’s wonderfully aromatic, if you aren’t constantly and consistently retro-haling this cigar, it's pretty numb and forgettable. There are sporadic moments when a slight sweetness or tanginess pop up like a mole on a river bank, but all instances disappear just as fast, leaving you simply wanting more.

9.00 is about the price you will pay anywhere for this cigar and for me it’s slightly north of what I feel it’s worth, but if you don’t mind retro-haling through most of your cigars, you will likely find this one very pleasant, and thus making it a decent deal.
