United Cigars

La Mezcla Cubana

This is a fairly simple and basic cigar. Profile notes consist mostly of sweet hay. Every now and then, a subtle touch of simple spice comes through, but nothing else. Although the burn needed several corrections, the draw was incredibly smooth.

Short, stout cigar. Light Connecticut shade wrapper. Visible veins, and seams. Tightly packed, almost no give. Good draw but not a lot of smoke. Hay and some spice from the start. One inch in, some sweetness and earthy tones appear. At the end bitterness develops and kind of spoils the experience. Unfortunately, the wrapper cracked and I had to repair it with some Vaseline. Pleasant, mild aber flavor packed. Not my favorite flavor, but quite nice for the price ($5.99)
