Many will call me crazy. Out of my mind. A complete idiot. Yet, I have to say… I just don’t get the hype with this one. I’m happy to spend $15 on a cigar…. Saka’s Unstolen Valor, Padrons, even an Atabey at times. I also LOVE the Alma del Fuego, and their 146. However, this to me seemed a bit sub-par for the price. The construction was unique and excellent, yet the flavor just wasn’t really there for me. There was a minty flavor there in the blend which was certainly unique. However, if I’m spending $18 on a cigar I just expect a bit more. For me – I’m going with another blend from Plasencia, Padron, Saka, Liga Privada, etc. Ultra-premiums are certainly competitive nowadays, and I just don’t think this stands up to the competition. That said, I know several who adore this cigar so certainly give it a shot for yourself.
