The pre-smoke inspection revealed a very well made cigar with tight construction and no major veins to contend with. It burned well and required no major touch-ups.
The flavor was not overpowering and earned itself a medium rating. It was lightly wooded with a faint splash of a spicy tea, possibly Earl Grey. It is a good between meals smoke.
This is one you can smoke while reading, writing, or preparing BBQ chicken (coming up soon). At $3 a stick I will try several more.

I've always liked Don Tomas. I really miss the old International #3 that had a really buttery taste.
This Sun Grown sounds like something I would enjoy. I notice that it's a puro. Most of the Hondurans that I like have a little Nicarauguan and Dominican Republic thrown into the mix. At that price, I'll be sure to hook myself up with a few of these next chance I get.
