I loved this cigar. Had one from the same fiver about 11 months ago, and I didn't really care for it, but WOW! The flavor of bittersweet chocolate, like on a truffle, was incredibly intense around an interesting, nice cedar. Full review on the site, but anyone else have any thoughts of this?

    Agree, great dark chocolate (bittersweet) flavors. A definite must try for anybody who likes a great sweet maduro flavor! This is my favorite hoyo and a personal top ten. Have smoked a few and have never had draw or burn issues either. Seems like a great stick to age IMHO.

    yeah man, I didn't love it when I first smoked it, tasted waaay to cedary for me, but with some time, I'm kicking myself for not having more.

    I remember liking it but found it to be much milder than expected. I don't know why, but I expected more pepper and kick so I ended up smoking it at night, after a meal, which muted the already mild flavors of the cigar.

    I think if I had another, it would be in the morning with coffee and breakfast.

    I totally agree with this comment. At first I too wasn't too fond of it but a few months later I pulled one out of my humi and it was great! I've actually been smoking them for the past three days. I whittled my supply down pretty good and will have to re-stock.

    I really like most of the HDMs I've had. I'd love to get my hands on an ISOM HDM...... Heard they're even better.

    I've never had the DK. I have thought about picking it up many times. I do like the hoyo's I've had though.

    HdM is my favorite cigar, and for me, the one that started the whole craze 16 years ago. I still have 4 left of my Exaclibur No.2 maduros from a box I bought 3 1/2 years ago. They really age well.

    Suggest picking some up! This is a great cigar. Highly recommend HdM Oscuro Prensado too.

    Rob1110 has it right. Great morning smoke with a cup of coffee
