Macorix - Habano Burn Time : 1hr 10min

Wrapper : Ecuador Habano

Filler : Dominican Republic Corojo, Criollo, Piloto Cubano

Body : Medium Strength : Medium

Prelight : This cigar has a nice looking smooth chocolate box pressed Habano wrapper, with a barnyard aroma. Firm pack, and construction seems good for a $2 stick. Wasn't expecting much because I knew the price point before I started smoking this one, but it turned out to judge this stick based on its price.

1/3 : Opens up with an easy draw and good smoke output. Medium body, and surprisingly good flavors of smooth cocoa and nuttiness. There's a long finish which is nice. 20 minutes in the burn gets wonky as I must have hit some new filler leaves, and the flavors drop a bit and moves to the woody side.

2/3-3/3 : I put these two thirds in one section because this was a very consistent cigar. It has consistent and simple flavors, but the flavors are nice and enjoyable. By halfway cocoa is completely gone, there's more woodiness than the beginning and it finishes with smooth wood and light nuttiness. Finish stays long throughout. It produces a ton of smoke easily, body is solid medium and strength medium as well.

Overall : Very solid stick for the money. Really a great value for "yard-gars" in my opinion. Don't know if I'd go out of my way to buy a box of these but I wasn't disappointed with it that's for sure.
