While I have never smoked the original Don Lino I have seen them in catalogs etc. but I can't make any comparisons. I did enjoy this cigar but it's not in my top 5 cigars that come from Miami Cigar and Company. The creaminess at the end really brought this cigar home and I do recommend picking up a fiver at the very least.

·"First I really enjoyed this cigar. It’s aesthetic value, even before cutting, had me excited to get started. Toothy flavor bumps did not disappoint. I really am having difficulty finding any misgivings about this smoke. Draw, finish, flavors, transitions, construction, burn, etc ....all impeccable!" -Randy B. (randobush)
As I did last year, I thought I would take an opportunity to put down some of my thoughts and observations from the IPCRPR 2015 show that was held in New Orleans this past week. Just to be clear, these are my thoughts and opinions and do not necessarily reflect those of Blind Man's Puff or any other member of the team here.
"This was a great cigar overall. The flavors did not pop, but they were there. retro-hale was very smooth and It was a very easy cigar to smoke. I'd smoke it again over and over again if the price point were right. " -James H. (Keikan Jim)

This was a very good cigar almost from the start to the finish. It would have scored much higher had the final third been as complex as the previous thirds.

·"It's June while I'm reviewing this so the talk of winter smokes seems out of place here but this is a strong contender for the colder months. The smoke output, flavors, and construction all make this a tiny but mighty cigar for me. If you want a compact flavorful cigar this could be what you're looking for." -Alan (Eulogy)
"Overall, this was an enjoyable cigar with very mild flavors, it remained medium bodied and light throughout the experience. The smoke started off fairly creamy and dried out throughout the cigar but never to a point of dislike. I would definitely recommend this to individuals with a lighter palette and would consider smoking again for sure. It would go well with any light flavor drink from clear soft drinks to lager beers and white wines." -Angel M. (Angel)

·"Cigar performed well and was enjoyable to smoke. Not super complex in the tasting department, however, if you're looking for an earthy, rich, naturally sweet smoking experience this cigar is for you." -Kyle (kaleehb)
"Overall this was a pleasant cigar to smoke. I couldn't find anything flavor wise to make it outstanding but the construction, draw and burn have all been pretty much flawless. After it mellowed out from the beginning I am still getting some nice spice on the retrohale but overall it has been pretty mellow and nothing fantastic about the flavor. It did dry my mouth out a ton at the beginning, but due to its great construction and burn I was able to smoke it down to the nub. Depending on its price point I would have to think about getting more of these. It was a good smoke but nothing spectacular for me." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)
