A very nice cigar this one. On receiving it I opened it to smell prior to putting in the humidor and found the smell pleasant if weaker than most Cubans I have smoked (many!) and rather milder than most belicoso smokes, so I was a bit worried. It sat for just a day in my humi before I could resist no longer.
It lit well and burnt evenly producing fine aromatic smoke. The burn was consistent right through to the very end and the ash it made was good and pale being self supporting until knocked off into my ashtray.

The flavour was good and even, perhaps less complex than some cubans but it was smooth and tasty. The actual wrapper had a sweet taste, not over powering but a sweet nonetheless. There was intially no nicotene rush and I was reminded of some really aged Cubans which have lost a lot of their strength- not always a bad thing in a young cigar and certainly not bad here. Towards the end though, after half an hour of smoking, I did get a powerful nictotene bang and the cigar lived up to it's belicoso name alright.

All in all a very good smoke and well worth the money: as a non-cuban it was delightful and if, like me, you find Cubans a tad pricey these days, then this belicoso might be just the ticket. I shall certainly be buying more of these; I look forward to more Flor de oliva branded sticks in the future. I hope I have ticked the right box when rating this cigar as 'good' (the HTML layout is skewed on my computer!)
