A terrific smoke. Leather and vegetal sweetness. construction and appearance are awesome.

El Gueguense has been a favorite line of mine for a while. The macho raton brings the familiar leather and barnyard with better smoke output. It loses 1 star in the final third as each one I smoked burned wonky in the final third. Up to the band, its a terrific cigar.

Foundation has delivered some great cigars for my palate. This is another one that consistently delivers. Beautiful coffee and cream colored wrapper and a ring gauge pushing the boundaries for what I enjoy. From 1st lighting I grab a seat to take in all the flavors and try to decide if it’s toffee or caramel that I am picking up on. The retro give me earthy hays and mellow flavors without the predominate pepper that I tend to enjoy. The size tells you to sit back and relax for a couple hours, and I have nothing but time for this cigar. The construction was spot-on and the burn was crisp and even. I have no bad comments on this cigar, and at this price point, there isn’t too much out there that can top this for a great evening cigar.
