La Duena. Been revisiting old favorites today after reading a post reviewing Nica Rustica. Earlier today I had one of those (my first favorite cigar when I got into cigars a year ago) and it was a pretty ok cigar. Maybe a little better than ok, but still rating less than good on my Bad - Not Bad - Ok - Good - Excellent scale. The La Duena was another of my early favorites and I'll call it good. Construction is absolutely perfect with a razor edge burn line, ash that doesn't flake, a cap that held despite an offset cut. But, flavor wise, its coming up short. I remember this being one of the first cigars I noticed subtle flavors. They're there, but not quite what I prefer anymore. Solid performance, but you guys have ruined me on cheaper smokes.

What did you think? That was my go to this cold winter. I love them.
I figured it would be a pretty good little smoke but it was much better than I expected! For what is it I'm really pleased with it/them. Is it just me or do these sticks look much smaller in pictures?
