[El Presidente]

Not a huge fan of the band/wrap......but 10/10 for going to market with something a little bit different

You can certainly get it. Volado/Seco

Quality however is another issue

I noticed that too. I think the quality of the Seco leaf is really what sets Cuban cigars apart from Non Cubans. The best stuff has a lot of Flavor with out that mouth burning ligero strength.

This is the key. I doubt Cuba is exporting much, if any, Vuelta Abajo leaf. But why not sell some of the stuff from Remedios or Oriente that would be going into peso cigars any way.

It looks to me as if the box was a bit to big.

I liked their previous blend with Cuban tobacco. One problem: they never learned how to roll perfecto. Why choose a format that factory can't roll in high quality… Perhaps the name of this release should be "Dostoevsky. Idiot"…

I feel like they missed an opportunity to put an ak-47 somewhere on the label or even cooler have the cigar box look like an old Russian ammo crate.

Interesting to say the least.

It was like that…

I much prefer the T-34.

That’s what I’m talking about! Were the actual cigars any good?
