This blend is different than the other black market blends. The influence of Nicaragua is noticeable over the standard black market blend. I find this cigar more nuanced and complex versus the standard line. Although I tend to lean towards Nicaraguan blends anyways recommended smoke if you like a medium/full cigar with Nicaraguan influence

Was expecting the cigar to be a little bit more full-bodied. With the trend of more Connecticut cigars being stronger with the Connecticut wrapper. It\'s not a bad cigar by far but just expect it a little bit more based on price and marketing. For a Connecticut cigar I think I would rather go to the new world Connecticut over the cigar. But I do like the other cigars from this company that are not Connecticut

This is 2019 dueto. I have yet to try the new 2020 with the blue band This smoked excellent. The best is the salamon shaped Pareto cigar. Well worth the price to smoke if you can still find them in that size
