How are the Aristocrats?
ROTT, one of the best cigars I've ever had.

Salted caramel, light milk chocolate, some barnyard, wood, leather, etc. Was much more complex than I thought it would be, but little to no spice. It refused to overheat, the first two thirds took me a tick over an hour, perfect burn through the entire cigar.

Brought these back from France:



now safely stored in my current storage solution:



by the way, can anyone help me verify the authenticity of the cohibas? The band looks legit, and they were bought in decent-looking B&Ms, but the cigars themselves are not as perfectly straight and smooth as I would expect them to be. You can feel the bumps under the Secreto's wrapper.

The bands definitely look authentic. I'll look at a Coro that i was gifted recently and let you know what I think about the quality of the construction but i'm no CC expert my friend.

Ironically I will say that I noticed the majority of those cigars looked "rough" when I first saw the pic.

Construction is definitely not out of the ordinary for Cubans. Unless you bought it at a spot dominated by tourists, or they brought out a "special" box of singles when they found out where you were from, I wouldn't worry about authenticity buying from a local B&M.
