I would call this a smooth, but at the same time, semi-rustic cigar. Although I would smoke the El Artista The Slugger by Big Papi again, I am curious what the cigar would taste like with greater wrapper influence and less filler influence. If I'm in for 2 to 3 hours of smoking, I'd do it again. But for mouthfeel, can we move out of the parejo head and give it a tapered head?
Overall, the El Artista Buffalo Ten is a really good cigar. I am just looking at the price on this smoke and shocked. I will be interested in seeing how this cigar smokes from sample to sample, the two I smoked were great, but that will be the key. Love finding smokes like this.
