Strength: Full

This is my second Pinar Del Rio (PDR) review and I am excited to do it.  Again, these are a great value and I can’t recommend them enough.     


Appearance: This has a reddish wrapper with lots of oils.  The label is brown with gold and red and it has a good looking red ribbon around the foot.  It is striking how smooth the wrapper is.  10/10
Construction:  Well made with no seams, stems, cracks or soft spots.          9/10

Burn:   No problems at all.  There was lots of smoke production and it never got hot.      9/10

Aroma:  Spice and leather.  Lots of pepper.        8/10

Draw: Nicely made and there were not any issues.  These were all very consistent.  10/10

Flavor:  More spice but there were some floral notes on the back 3rd.  It was a nice contrast.    9/10

Availability: I don’t know of any stores that carry them locally but I know they are making the rounds around the country.  Easy to find online.         8/10

Personal Overall Experience: I cannot stress enough how much of a value this is.  I was able to find these for less than $2.00 each online.  This is not a dog-rocket but a good cigar at a rock bottom price.    28/30

Total: 91/100
