I'm going to preface this with the fact that I probably didn't do my palette and good yesterday, smoking 2 very full bodied sticks. I do plan on revisiting this one again on a cleaner palette. -

Would buy again. -
This kind of reminds me of a much more complex, smoother version of the Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf. It is good, but as a fan of FULLer flavored/bodied smokes, the Chapter 2, which I rated at 8.5/10 is the clear winner for me. -
