Don't be fooled by the name, these suckers aren't mistakes or 2nds by any definition. What originally happened was, long ago Cigars International got a batch of Perdomo 2 Milenarios which had an order mix-up. This mix-up caused the cigars to be unbanded and round instead of the original banded and box-pressed. It's filled with the exact same tobacco as the Perdomo 2 Milenario at half the price. It became such a big hit that Cigars International started ordering them like this from Nick Perdomo.
The dark Nicaraguan maduro wrapper is oily and smooth to the touch. It smells of rich dark chocolate, rich oils and earthiness. The construction of this cigar is one of the best I've seen; there are no big veins and no rough spots. This thing is chock full of Nicaraguan tobacco which usually gives it a more full bodied and spicy smoke, but this thing is so smooth.
At first light you get leathery and peppery notes with subtle flavors of bitter dark chocolate. You get a sense of that rich oily tobacco on your palate with spiciness on the back of your tongue. About 1/3 in, nutty flavors start to emerge and if you are drinking a single malt scotch the sweetness is pronounced. This is a medium bodied smoke with tons of flavor constantly teasing your palate and keeping you guessing on which flavors it's throwing at you.
The burn is even and the ash is beautifully white. The draw is consistent and you get plenty of smoke to satisfy your smoke rings. This is such an awesome deal, under $2.50 a stick from Cigars International [www.cigarsinternational.com]. This cigar is a MUST have, so stock your humidors with them and herf away.
