Aroma Antilhano - Madeira

Casa de Garcia

A firmly built cigar with clean notes of baking spice, a touch of leather, and maybe a hint of cinnamon. The draw is a tad tight but acceptable. However, the burn is absolutely razor edge line. Smoked better than the average connecticut tends to.

Flor de Copan

A very smooth cigar overall. Flavor notes consist of creamy cedar, leather, and subtle spices. The draw is open and products a decent amount of smoke while the burn was practically perfect.

Jose L. Piedra

Second review, 2 months rest now. The flavor brings out clean tobacco with a touch of wood tones. The draw was a tad tight but the burn stayed smooth.

Don Diego

Purchased in Madeira Portugal on a cruise. Coming from the same factory that produces Montecristo, the construction is absolutely immaculate. The flavor profile is clean, portraying smooth tobacco balanced with a subtle sweetness. No harsh pepper comes through, but just a touch of spice appears on the retro. Pretty solid cigar.

Vega Fina

Not sure why this one often gets rated so low. It almost smokes just like a Cuban. Profile is smooth, with a leathery tone and just a touch of spice. Construction is solid, the draw has adequate resistance, and the burn only waved a little.

Vasco da Gama

For a low priced machine made German cigar, this was actual pretty decent. Never to be compared to a premium hand rolled stogie, but this cigar held notes of honey and baking spice. Nothing more, nothing less. Draw and burn were spot on though. Bought in Madeira Portugal, smoked in Malaga Spain.
