Although I am not what you would call a cigar review kind of guy, I am going to take a stab at this for once! Usually my review of cigars are either "that was a good smoke" or "this thing sucks!" However, i am always able to determine whether or not a cigar is worth smoking.
Today, I received 2 five packs of the above cigar from a fellow botl. These cigars are of Cuban origin, and are from the year 1958. They are very small cigars, a tad bit over 3 inches in length, with a ring of I would say 38. So they are very small indeed.
Upon opening the packs, the smell of the cigars was quite different than any other I have smelled before. To be honest, they reminded me of a room in my grandmothers house. They just smelled OLD!
The construction, typical of a CC, a little rough, but the cigars themselves were in top notch condition. They were even a little spongy! So not a problem with the construction.
I cut the end off the cigar with a razor blade, being very gentle. I tried to see how the draw was, not so good. I did however have a tooth pick close by, so i inserted it into the cigar, and removed it solving the plugged end. Perfect draw now! I wish every plugged cigar could be fixed this easy!!!
Upon lighting the cigar, I noticed that I did not like the taste ONE BIT! This however changed in about one to two minutes. It became a very nice little cigar. Not what I expected from the moment that I lit it. Something else I noticed was that Cuban taste. Anybody who has smoked their fair share of non Cuban cigars can tell you that Cuban cigars have their own taste to them vs. a non Cuban. Well after all of these years, it was still a bit detectable! It was a medium bodied smoke too. Kind of surprising as it started off in the first 2-3 minutes very mild and nasty. She burned very even too until the very end. I have never smoked a cigar down this far. I actually had to think while I was smoking this, what am I tasting???? Just because I figured someone might ask. It was a bit earthy with a hint of walnut. Maybe it is because I live on Walnut Street? haha.
All in all, I have to say it was a pretty damn good little cigar. I am glad now that I bought 2 packs of them from KONA. I would recommend trying something like this if one ever gets the chance. My first true vintage cigar and I was quite pleased with it. I just wish they were a little longer.....where did i put those roach clips??????
Its a shame that my phone takes better pictures than my camera! You can see my finger prints!

BTW, very nice review, but I'm with you. Can't really distinguish the fine nuisances like others claim around these parts....but I know a good puro when I smoke one.
