    It had a green, gold and black label, very regal and classy. It was a colorado color wrapper, not as oily as I would have liked but ok a bit too veiny. The flavor was fruity, creamy, mild and smooth. It had a nice burn and great ash. This was a great cigar. I gave this 4 1/2 flowers.

    It had a blue, silver and black label, very regal and classy. It was a maduro wrapper, bit bitter from the first taste not as oily as I would have liked but ok. The flavor was citrusy, spicy, leafy, fresh and medium body. The taste changed towards the middle and I got hints of cocoa and chocolate. It was very smooth and had a nice burn. The structure got a little spongy on the second half so the cigar was an ok finish. I gave this 3 1/2 flowers.

    Adan Y Eva Robusto XO Edicion Limitado
    Hecho a mano- made by hand
    This has such an elegant cigar label for a woman like myself who adores luxury and elegance. The label was orange, peach, metallic gold, cream and black. It is enclosed in a luxurious white tube case with the painting of Adan Y eva. This case screamed sophistication. The wrapper on this cigar was a maduro. This cigar was so smooth, clean and delicious. The taste of this cigar was toasty and light. I enjoyed this cigar from start to finish. I smoked it to a nub! It had me weak at the knees.

    Adan Y Eva Seleccion Cabinet especial
    This beauty had a nice conneticut shade. It was a small tight roll. It was a bit veiny but ok. there was an initial harsh draw and a bit of an after taste. There was a nice even, burn but kind of fast. The taste was buttery, smooth and very mild and light. It became more enjoyable after taking af ew puffs. The smoke was nice, the aromas were fresh. It was very nice.

    This was a corona, maduro wrapper(46x6). This cigar's label has a striking decor of superiority. It's imperial designs consist of colors of red, black, white and gold along with a crown for a king on the top of this elegant label. This cigar was medium bodied, extremely smooth. the wrapper was nicely rolled. I really liked this cigar. The flavors appeared to be more powerful when I approached the middle. This was packed witha nice sweetness and flavor. Overall this cigar was pretty darn good.
