I got the chance to smoke this Cigar in my trip to Columbia in a coffee farm2017,
so the Cigar is 6 years old very well stored and mature
just imagining pairing the Cigar with a perfect coffee it’s very nice smoke settled no fluctuation or changes in the aroma or taste it’s a great for 45 to 1 hour and very light it’s an afternoon or morning Cigar
