The Aksum Maduro that I got on my sampler was special for sure, very well made with everything that a daily smoker can ask. Had to get more after that of course.

I tried the Claro version of this… that’s was awesome and this is even better! A real rich chocolate with blk coffee. There was some cedar I got as well as a molasses flavor. There is an inherent creaminess to the finish of this. To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. You can just tell when a cigar has been aged and blended well. The maduro wrapper on this is flawless. Just a beautiful stick with a beautiful band. Nick really hit this one out of the park and I’m so glad I got to try this. Just an incredible smoke!
