Nicaraguan candela wrapper over all Nicaraguan binder and fillers.

Starts with numerous notes; orange peel, meat, cedar, leather, light brown sugar, nutmeg, light fresh grass. Believe it or not the flavors mix to make an interesting flavor that has light sweetness. Black pepper at 7 1/2. Not really a black coffee base. More of a heavy leather base.
First third: 90

Second third; about the same flavor  notes but you can add lemon to the list. Very meaty, leathery flavor mix. There is just enough sweetness to make the cigar interesting. The finish has meaty leather and some grassy notes but not heavy. There are some earthy black coffee notes on the finish. Medium bodied.
Score: 90

Final third; meat notes coming out more. Plenty of orange peel/lemon notes, plenty of meaty leather and nutmeg. Light sweetness. There is now black coffee at the base. Medium to full bodied.
Score: 90

Overall Score: 90

This is a very different type of cigar and the more of them I smoke the better I like them.

Thanks for the review. Of course we'll never see one for M.C.B. from the "big boys", but yours is as good and entertaining as any of 'em.
I'm puffing on a bxp Habano oscuro as I write. Got it in a mixed sampler. I'm not really a fan of Nic cigars - prefer Honduran - but I know people who are, and they're gonna love being introduced to these. Do they only do Nic, or do they have a Honduran (or even Dominican) maduro? I like sweet. That goes for cigars, too. Thanks again.

They do pretty much Nicaraguan only I believe. Their maduro's are pretty sweet so you might want to give them a try.
