I've had a few of these and like them a lot. So I go out and fire it up. I get about 1/3rd. Into it just when it seems to get into the sweet spot and the skies open up. It starts pouring out ughh.
Love these, just got my fiver of with the rosado wrapper
Never had one of those. How does it compare to the Daruma and Namakubi?
Different...but... It is actually the same wrapper on the Daruma and N. Ecuador. The filler and binder are much different though. It starts with a nice spice, and mellows into a long complex finish. It's the best cigar 101 has made IMO, if you can find them. Only 300 boxes were rolled I believe, and all by one roller.

I'm kicking myself because I remember seeing them at my local B&M when I first started getting in to cigars and never purchasing one. I remember thinking what crazy packaging that it came in. I'll try one sometime. Lol now gone haha.
Tasted okay -- not great. Still too young and damp. Took one over to the home of my surrogate gardener, pulled up a chair in the shade beside the newly planted habano sprouts, and introduced these sprouts to their fate. They appeared entirely unflustered by the prospect.

Nice relaxing smoke after working in the yard all day and building+installing that trellis for the rose vine.

This was the 1st Colorado oscuro I've had. I thought it had a ton of flavor!
Perfect smoke by the pool!
