Well last night I broke out one of these. It was a box press, smaller stick. Not really sure of the size, but if I had to guess I would say around 44 ring gauge and robusto length. Right off the bat this was a very nice stick to smell and taste at pre light. Instantly I noticed the spice on my lips. Very densely packed stick as well with good construction.
Light up was no problem but draw was crazy tight. Really had to work at this one. Flavors were full right out of the gate. Nutty, leather with spice. Very rich tasting. First third was smooth and full as I stated and draw got easier over time. Second third the stick really came to life. Very full, lips tingling, creaminess taking over. By the last third, all the above flavors took a back seat to spice. Stick remained cool all the way through to the nub. burn was very good. All in all, a fuller bodied stick that is worth it. I have had the robusto before also and was no less than impressed. If you like El Rey Del Mundo's you will really like these.

Sounds like this could be a good stick to try. Do you think the tight draw was
just a fluke or more of the norm? Keep us updated if try another and let us know
how the draw is on it. Nice review by the way. Thanks for sharing.
