These cigars have some character to them. Just in looks and smell. TheyÂ’re dry cured they have this unique look, withered and they look old. The smell at first, it was powerful. They have what to my nose at least, smells rather meaty and they do have the appearance of dried beef.
TheyÂ’re rather on the small side, and thatÂ’s to be expected since IÂ’ve been purchasing a few Italian cigars to try.
Lighting was fine, no burn issues. The draw was surprising smooth. The characteristic look of the cigar gives the impression it will be a super tight draw, but it was a pleasant smoke and very enjoyable. The tastes were very woody, oak I think. It was like tasting charred wood. It was a lovely smoke and I felt like Clint Eastwood for thirty mins. My old ,Nonna was from Sicily and her father smoked Italian cigars, so it was a lovely smoke thinking of family generations gone.
Over all, I think people maybe put off that theyÂ’re rather characteristically ugly cigars, but appearances are always deceiving. They smoke well, they burn mostly even and they smell and feel great. As always, I think some will hate them. TheyÂ’re medium strength. I find them rather mild, but I do enjoy full strength cigars. The price is right, you get 5 little crackers for your buck, give them a try and if you hate them, then just donÂ’t buy them again.
