Jose Marti (Nicaragua)
Don Juan, 7.25x54

Review by G. Wallace
March 14, 1998

Price: 2.75

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? Yes

This is a great mild cigar. Even though fondest of stronger smokes, this cigar provided enough smooth, flavorful smoke to to hold my interest for a full one and 1/2 hours. At $2.75 each, this cigar is a superb value, as well. Viva Lew!
