## A Macanudo, but with more umph..

I got this and the Sumatra through The Testing Lab Program.. Here is my review..

Pre light sweet, hay

1st - hay, grass, med full

2nd - hay , grass, citrus starting to get creamy

3rd hay grass citrus creamy very enjoyable would definitely buy again. This isn’t the avg Macanudo Connecticut it has some umph to it. Although it does remind me of the gold in taste but more flavor, body and strength very very good cigar I will buy this again. I wasn’t a fan of the Sumatra though..
