A description from the Internet.
"Extreme care and precision are put into every Nicarao cigar and Nicarao’s Classico line exemplifies that perfectly. This savory Nicaraguan puro is engulfed with in a smooth, flawless Rosado Habano wrapper from Jalapa. Complex, with medium-bodied spice and a floral aroma the blend finishes smooth and clean making you want to fire one up right after you’re finished with your first one.". 
I got a Christmas gift from a friend - a pack of 10 of these. I never heard of them before. I decided to try one young - glad I did.   I smoked out front in the Winter sun in the AM.  Nice and quiet w wind rustling in the trees and a few birds chirping about.
Happy Smoking
