Construction: Great construction. Perfect
cap. No veins. A handsome looking, smooth, dark brown Maduro
wrapper with a slight hint of tooth. No soft spots. Very light
weight to hold. |

Pre-light: A nice earthy mix of cedar and
tobacco, a little "woodsy" aroma reminded me of being outdoors,
camping in the woods. Very easy draw. I don't mind an easy draw
at all, but it might be too easy for some people. |

Burn: A slight uneven start that quickly
corrected itself into a perfect straight burn. Slightly loose
gray ash lasting about an inch before falling off. |

Drink: Water |

Smoking Notes: This Costa Rican puro started off great and was
consistent throughout. In short, it has a woodsy and spicy
medium-to-full bodied taste. Spicy cinnamon is the most
predominant flavor with some bittersweet dark chocolate thrown
in to soften it up a bit. The long finish is also a nice dark
chocolate and cinnamon flavor. This was a flavorful cigar that
was smooth and not overpowering. |

Overall Impression: The Purisco Azul
Corona Maduro is an excellent cigar, especially for the price of
$4.00. Other cigars of this caliber usually sell for $6 to $8.
They only sell them in bundles of 25, so you have to drop a
hundred bucks to get them, but you can feel confident that the
$100 was well spent. |

As to the comparison to Cuban cigars, I would
say it can be a fair comparison, keeping in mind that it is a
general comparison. The Purisco is an excellent cigar and I have
definitely had Cuban cigars that are not as good as this and
vice versa. They can be purchased at

I received an email that the company is putting
together 5-pk samplers to make it easier to try their sticks.
Good move!
