I would be lucky to find a cigar here in Australia for under $20, so bring on the $5 test blends Privada!

Okay, pretty much all the test blends are from Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez, and this one is no exception. The only exception is that this is a Figurado, and one good-looking one I assure you.
Tonight is exceptionally cold, and I’m not prepared; let’s see if this cigar can keep me entertained enough to stay outside.
First draw, and the pepper bomb fuse is lit! There is a little charred wood and leather to be found also.
As time goes by, the pepper calms a little, but the charred wood and leather remain. Still, this cigar smokes just fine, so I continue.
Not much else seems to come from this cigar. Flavours are okay enough to keep me outside to finish anyway, but unfortunately, it looked better than it was.
