Excellent cigar for the price. Cocoa and leather smooth and creamy. Great weeknight cigar.
Repeat review. Good cigar for an everyday type smoke I always keep a few around. Quicker smoke but doesn't burnt too hot. Rich and creamy
Chocolate and leather. Drawing isn't a bit open and a quicker burn. Did not burn too hot surprisingly. A good economical smoke.
Fantastic all the way around. Chocolate and coffee notes with some baking spice.
TL;DR - recommended, though not unique enough to be my cup of tea. 👎

Prelight is an agreeable apricot. 😋 Construction great. Draw a little tight; opens up over the course of the smoke. Light-up is easy. First third Cedar. There is a chemical-like undertone that carries through almost the entirety of the smoke. It's not terrible but it is the core flavor of the smoke. Not my preference.
Second third hazelnut mixes in.
This is a medium strength cigar with dark flavor impressions.
I think this would pair well with a root-beer, Coke or a whiskey... or a whiskey-Coke! I don't think wine, beer or coffee would pair well.
I have reall come to enjoy these. Draw is a little airy but good flavor. Cocoa and leather. No transition but I'm good with that at this price point.
Draw was tight, used Perfecdraw. Burn a little uneven had to fix once. Medium body. Smooth and creamy with oak, coffee, chocolate with a hint of spice. Rested 3 months.
First time smoking an AB Prensado since the acquisition by Scandanavian Tobacco Group. Still a unique smoke in a world where tastes are converging. Construction was a bit off. Wrapper was veiny, seams apparent. A step down from Alan Rubin's standards.
