This cigar surprised me. All I wanted was a stick to burn by the pool, but I got something far better than that.

In terms of appearance, I would have to give La Libertad a high score for the way the Nicaraguan wrapper shined in the sun. And I could find no flaws in its construction.

It smelled like barnyard and tasted like chocolate-flavored leather.

The burn was consistent; I did not have any issues there except at the beginning when the cigar was newly lit.

I paired it with Turkish coffee and had a good time.
