Had one of these quite fresh from the packet, and was pleased with the results. Earthy beginnings give way to spice and strong, wooden leather tones, with a lingering oak aftertaste. Smoke production seems to increase exponentially throughout, resulting in a draw of astronomic proportions in the last third, and then... it's all over! A little faster burning than Cuban robustos, it seems, but not any more loose or poorly crafted. Certainly worth the price paid, and certainly worthwhile sitting on; if it's this full on in its green state then I can barely wait to try one that's been adequately aged.
The only downside was a tiny split that had to be plugged with a craftily placed finger tip throughout, but this was a failing in handling on my own part, and not one involved in manufacture.
