After sitting in my humidor since late September and despite my resolution to give them some aging I rewarded myself with one.
Visually this is a beautifull vitola with smooth vain-free colorado wrapper, expertly applied tripple cap and adorned by double band indication that this is not just another cigar. It felt somewhat light in hand, soft and spongy - but isn't this what the new generation Havanas are supposed to be?
Upon cutting with a bullet cutter and lighting with a wooden match I was greeted by flavorfull, almost floral taste with good draw and beautifull silver colored ash; however, it developed an uneven burn (maybe due to a windy day) almost 3/8 inch that self-corrected at about 1/3 of length. At 1/2 the ash became darker resulting in a more intense flavor - but it lasted only for about 3/8 inch and reverted back to the original light taste and aroma.
Bottom line is that this is and excellent cigar, medium in flavor and enjoyable any time of day,it provided wandrfull smoking experience without any harshness or aftertaste.
It would be interesting to see its further development after some serious aging time.
