Website Description -
If you’re a larger ring gauge fan, this is one cigar not to be missed. Warm notes of toasted sweet vanilla and dark cocoa beans are immediately apparent on the palate that enjoys an opulent and well-rounded smoke. The smoke is full and creamy reminiscent of the old school robust style of Havana’s best cigars.

Appearance -

This is a beautiful cigar, the wrapper is dark, some veins, solid construction. The aroma of leather, vanilla and a hint of chocolate can be picked up from smelling the stick.


First impression -

To be fair, this is not the first time I have enjoyed this cigar. It has turned into my everyday go to stick not only for price but overall flavor. This time it was no exception, a quick v-cut and a torch to light it I was already feeling my troubles drift away on the smoke as it bellowed out from the cigar. Filling the room with a robust aroma of robust flavors. There is a small lingering after taste of pepper which I feel enhances the over all enjoyment of this cigar.

Half way mark -

I was required to touch up the burn near the halfway mark, mainly because I had to step away and it was slowly going out. By the time I crossed the half way mark the flavors have blended and the cigar has just gotten better. I find this a nice mellow yet flavorful cigar that continues to impress me.

This is the one cigar that I share with all my friends, trade with other cigar aficionados and give to complete strangers because I find the quality incredible.  On more than one occasion I have had people compliment on the aroma drifting from the cigar, and those that have tried it I have never heard a complaint.

Construction - 9/10

I have had one cigar out of 100 from Remember Cuba give any issues with splitting on me. In this case the cigar stayed true. The burn was even throughout the smoke and there was never a time I had to correct the burn.

Taste - 10/10

This is the reason I keep coming back to this Cigar. The blend that RCC uses is phenomenal and easily makes this one of the best cigars I have had.

Ash - 8/10

I can easily get an inch or two of ash off this stick. I attribute that to the solid construction that is proven time and time again.

Recently Remember Cuba started packing these in cedar boxes, these boxes show the commitment,  pride and love that Mr. Celuzza puts in each one of his cigars.

Pros - Reasonable Price, Great Construction, Flavorful

Cons - I never buy enough,
