Cruzado Marios by Dion Giolito













El Cruzado Marios - Magnificos!

7x48 and full of deliciousness!!

This cigar was given to me by a fellow KOTL (Keeper Of The Leaf) as a gift and I must say, I am impressed!

The construction is very good and the wrapper is not overly veiny or toothy. The cap is a very nice three layer pigtail, a feature which seems to be gaining popularity lately. If a pigtail is done right and the cigar is made well, you don;t even need to cut the cap to smoke it. Just pinch the tail and pull gently and you can light up!

From the first sip of this cigar, pre-light, the toast (and I mean the best bread you've ever had - toasted!) and dried brush notes are wonderful. Very smooth with a medium body mouth feel and a medium to full flavor, the cigar lit easily and held it's fire well.
