06:23 (EST)If your into mild cigars then you would love this one. This cigar is nicely wrapped. It has a smooth creamy flavor that's very gentle to the palate. It has a good draw and it burns good. The ash is a fine powder that you can easily flick off and won't all over the place.

10:59 (EST)A high price means high expectations, especially for a limited edition Avo. Well-constructed and polished in appearance, with an even burn and the nice draw that so many Avos have. Sadly, the look is more distinctive than the taste, which is pleasantly crisp and spicy but hardly standout.

09:54 (EST)I never thought I’d want to smoke a cigar just to cut a respectable impression, but this is exactly what happened when I tried this one. It boasted of a solid, dark wrapper that was excellently constructed, and its smooth flavors had nothing explosive about them—just pure and elegant taste. The subtle notes of leather and cream just go so well with the hints of pepper and cinnamon that I will have to say it’s nothing less than sophisticated.

11:12 (EST)The Belicoso has an extremely mild taste with a burst of spices upon initially lighting a stick, but the grassy flavors kicked in for an unusual smoke that may catch every one not familiar with the cigar off guard. The pepper then capped off the proceedings of a smoke that happens to possess a lingering aftertaste. There are a couple of issues with the wrapper falling apart halfway during the smoke, which may lead others to buy something worth their time. However, unless the wrapper fell off for some strange reason, the Belicoso is indeed a good smoke worthy of its anniversary.
