While I was in Puerto Rico recently I purchased a cigar from what seemed like a somewhat reputable cigar shop in Old San Juan. I really don't know though, everything in Old San Juan smelled of tourist trap. Everything was really expensive and if you asked it was all local and hand-made... who knows though. Anyways the cigar shop I stopped at was Don Collins and it is a nice small shop. They offer a few different cigars, some dipped in Barrilito Rum. They smelled and looked great, although I didn't particularly care for the rum dipped ones. I picked up a corona, it's just the right amount of cigar. They were so fresh I couldn't say no.

I was actually starting to get sick that day so I knew I wasn't going to be enjoying a cigar soon. I kept it for a few days till I got back to CA. I smoked it a few days after I got back while on a walk. I can't lie my first initial response was "meh". It was okay. My old lady said the smoke itself smelled really good and chocolaty sweet. But it didn't taste all that great. It wasn't foul by any means but I just expected something a little more enjoyable seeing it was so fresh. They probably use not so great filler for this particular roll.

Overall it was a solid 5/10. It made my walk better, was smooth and burned very evenly the whole time. As I sort of mentioned earlier the outer wrapper smelled of deep, sweet musty chocolate similar to a nice pipe tobacco.
