This 4x32 mini powerhouse comes in handy 6-packs costing about $3.50 per stick. The Honduran puro wears an oily Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper that's surprisingly smooth for its fiery reputation. I grabbed these for my 15-minute coffee breaks - turns out they pack enough punch to wake up your whole afternoon.
First Third: Instant black pepper kick with burning cedar undertones. Retrohale brings out white pepper sharpness that makes your eyes water slightly. Ash holds surprisingly well for a short filler.
Middle Third: Transitions to charred meat flavors with molasses sweetness. Watch out for heat buildup in the compact format - slow your pacing here. Smoke output doubles if you purge properly.
Final Third: Mineral bitterness creeps in at the nub alongside baking spices. Ends before getting harsh if clipped properly. Leaves lingering chili heat on the tongue.
The boxed cigars arrived slightly overhumidified. After dry-boxing for 48 hours, draw resistance improved significantly. These tolerate lower RH better than most - keep around 62% to prevent tunneling. Not meant for aging - smoke within 6 months of purchase.
