The El Mago The James Avenue Habano was a very nice cigar that showed me (total guess here) the more refined side of Nicaraguan made cigars. The flavors worked in harmony and were balanced, almost making me smoke it with a pinky up. Would definitely smoke more of these.
The El Mago Solstice had a nice start with the cinnamon forward baking spice really shining. It dropped a level in the second third as the baking spice transitioned to black pepper and maintained that level the rest of the way. I really would have liked to see the first third maintain itself longer, but as it stands, the cigar didn't do enough to make me want to come back to it, but I would be interested in trying some of the other offerings from the brand.
