Brazil but It is not always easy to find as not a lot of retailers carry it, which is really a shame because this brand is one of the best out there in my opinion.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to Wesley Gensel from GVG International <a href=\"http:\/\/cigarsfrombrazil.com\">www.cigarsfrombrazil.com<\/a> for letting me get this brand out more and getting in a good review.<\/p>\n<p>The cigar wrapper is a tad rough as you roll it between your fingers.\u00c2\u00a0 The band is beautiful and fitting for such a nice cigar.\u00c2\u00a0 The foot of the cigar has smells of pepper and hay and I proceeded to clip it with my guillotine cutter.\u00c2\u00a0 The first light gave off nice flavors of slight pepper and some hints of caramel.\u00c2\u00a0 I could tell right away this was going to be a great smoke.<\/p>\n<p>The second and 3rd half of the smoke offered more of the same flavors of slight caramel and a hint of white pepper.\u00c2\u00a0 The cigar was consistent in flavor and smoke production all the way through.\u00c2\u00a0 This was more of a medium type cigar to me even though its classified as full.<\/p>\n<p>The burn was razor sharp and the smoke was very smooth with no sense of sharpness or bitterness.\u00c2\u00a0 The biggest thing I noticed with this cigar was the very strong ash as you can see from the pictures, it held up all the way up to the band.\u00c2\u00a0 This is definitely a great cigar and the construction is top notch.<\/p>\n<p>The only negative thing I would say about the cigar is the high MSRP at around $12.00 per stick is too high.\u00c2\u00a0 I would pay $7-$8 for this cigar all day long.\u00c2\u00a0 I would recommend this smoke to those who like full bodied cigars without being harsh.<\/p>\n<p><a
