"Definitely a milder smoke than I generally reach for, but extremely delicious and enjoyable. The warm nutty flavors left my mouth watering. I started to chew on this one towards the end because I was enjoying the flavors so much. Definitely would smoke more of these in the future." -Adam B. (Bushboy)

·"Wow. Once i got past the slow start, the cigar really opened up. Medium to full flavor and just a tremendous profile that balanced well off of each other. Nicely done. Grab these, let some sit, and watch them grow into something truly special." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)
The Matilde Renacer, meaning "rebirth" in Spanish, began shipping to cigar stores last week. The Renacer, a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos, Dominican binder and an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper, is being shipped in four sizes: a Corona measuring 5 1/2 inches long by 44 ring gauge; a 5 1/4 by 54 Robusto, a 6 1/2 by 54 Toro Bravo; and a 6 by 60 Grande. They were produced at Tabacalera La Matilde, Seijas's new factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, and were aged for 90 days after they were rolled.
Matilde Cigars announced today that they are adding third line to their portfolio: Matilde Quadrata. When released, it will come in 3 sizes: Robusto (5 x 5 ¼), Torpedo (52 x 6) and Toro Bravo (54 x 6 ½) packed in 20 count cabinet boxes.

·"I don't normally smoke much in the way of "big" cigars. Anything that takes longer than about 90 minutes to smoke usually wont keep my attention. This cigar did a pretty good job of keeping me interested though and was nice to smoke. I don't know if its close enough to my normal "likes" for me to run out and make a purchase on, but I would certainly re-visit it down the road and give it another shot." -Dave (mdwest)
