Smoke Notes: Primos Habana Criollo Rosado

[poll=9]

This month Tex Cigars sent me another brand that I have yet to try for review. It is called Primos and it is a bundled cigar. It is made out of Nicaragua by Los Blancos Cigar Company with a Honduras, Nicaragua and Peruvian filler and a Nicaragua binder and wrapper. Weighing in at 6×52 this is a thick toro.

Quote from the LBCC site:

Handcrafted maintaining the high standards of the Blanco family and are the only bundles made with a 3 year aged wrapper. Keeping with family TRADITION these cigars raise the bar regarding VALUE and QUALITY of tobacco used in what are considered “Bundle” cigars.

The fist thing I noticed when I opened the box was the band. It is a scroll with four hands surrounding it. The next thing I noticed was the cigar had a couple imperfections on the wrapper but nothing I was worried about for the price. The cigar seemed very firm to the touch and I thought I would have some draw issues. Happily I was wrong and it smoked like a champ with a good burn and draw throughout. It started off woody then turned at about the first third mark to a tangy flavor. Can’t pick it out but it was pleasant. Smoking wise the only con I found was the head collected more moisture than usual.

Over all at around $2.50 a stick this is another good  medium body cigar to have on hand if you want a affordable cigar.
