I don’t normally go for big ring gauge stuff but there are some exceptions. This smoked very well. Dark chocolate, leather and light roast coffee. The finish on this has an earthy mustiness. Great draw and burn. Held a nice white ash and plenty of smoke off the oily wrapper. This to me would be a great golf cigar. Stand up to wind and infrequent puffs. Sub $6 price point is just icing on the cake.

This is one of the few big rings that I come back to. It seems like Ernesto can blend something tasty in just about any ring gauge. These are spicy and earthy, with just a little brown sugar sweetness expertly rolled and easy to smoke. Just have to open a little wider.
