Otis-Glad to say I still have one that has been resting for some time now. I think I will get it out this weekend. Thanks!

This very well constructed Rosado tasted great right off the UPS truck, but I limited myself to 5 because I wanted to see what the cigar would be like after a few months in the humidor.
After 10 months I can definitely tell you, things have changed.
The wrapper has married with the binder and filler to absolute perfection!
At this stage these cigars are equal in every way to the fine Cuban made (pre-Castro)Spanish Style Rosados my father used to share with my brother and myself.
I didn’t think I’d taste this wonderfully aromatic blend until relations with Cuba are normalised.
The delicate Rosado wrappers won’t put up with much abuse, this isn’t a good cigar for golf, hunting, or puttering around the yard.
When you have time to let the cigar speak to you, pour yourself a nice snifter of fine brandy, relax in you’r “easy chair”, and enjoy, because it don’t get no better than this!

I was surprised when I seen the price on these. It could definitely hang with a $5-$6 smoke.

I was quite surprised by the quality taste of this cigar. For an economical priced cigar, this could easily be a $6 to $8 priced stick. Well worth the few bucks you’ll pay for it at TexCigars.com
