Hoyo de Monterrey (Honduras)
Excalibur, 6.5x

Review by BAY
May 12, 1998

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? It was OK

This was a gift - I don't know the price.

It burned well, had an even taste until the last 3/4, at which time it then began to get bitter.

It was OK - nothing great.

I would not spend a few dollars to buy another one.
