 Has anybody tried these? Our b&m just set out a couple of boxes. I found some info online but just the basic's

 I only found one reference to these using the search function and that was from July 2011, I'm thinking that that one was the European version.

Patoro series P USA Edition, Robusto 5 1/8 x 54 $10.00

The pre-light aroma is sweet tobacco and cocoa, clipped with v-cutter. The pre-light draw is just right and the taste reminds me of the DE Java, chocolate.

 On the light there  is a nice blast of cedar spice then settles into earthy cocoa notes with citrus/floral overtures, I thought I picked up some light coffee notes on the retro in the 2nd 3rd. The finial 3rd is mostly earthy and the citrus/floral is very light.

Overall an interesting smoke, a solid med.

I'm not sure that this is worth the $10.00 price tag but it is different and interesting.
