This cigar is not for the weak hearted. It is full bodied and packs a punch, I would take my time with this puppy. The flavor is very good: somewhat peppery with hints of cedar and spice in the background (first comes the peppery flavor, then a hint of cedar and spice afterwards). The draw was excellent, never requiring much work. The aroma was surprisingly light (and nice) for a full bodied cigar. My only complaint about this cigar is the burn. It started out well but refused to burn evenly only a few minutes into it, even with a little help from my torch lighter. The wrapper was very nice and silky (fairly dark, but not like a Maduro), with very good consistent texture (very little vain-age). To me, this cigar seems like the illegitimate child of El Ray Mundo Corona (Honduras) and Arturo Fuente Grand Reserva Rothschild, who may have had at least one romantic evening together, resulting in the Brazillia. I can see why this cigar has earned such rave reviews in most cigar publications, however, I prefer something that is slightly lighter in body (and has a better burn).
