Very good economy stick. I’ve been into cigars for only around 7 months. I started right at 21. I’m still creating a good palate so take my review with a grain of salt. I was wanting to find a good economy stick not to break the bank and the Rico Barato is what came to mind. I saw it on cigars daily YouTube a few years back before I could even smoke. It’s very smooth for being a Cuban sandwich. It also has a complex flavor for only being a few bucks. Everyone has a different taste preference but I enjoy Connecticut’s like these. It has a very smooth creamy nuttiness to the flavor profile. I also got a little bit of earth specifically like hay on the back of the flavor profile. The flavor profile stayed the same all the way till the last third. It also stayed very light all the way through. I paired it with a cup of coffee which added to the flavor experience. Construction of it was actually surprisingly good for a 3 dollar cigar. I’ve had 10 dollar cigars that weren’t even par to this. The burn was absolutely perfect till the end. The wrapper never pealed or cracked. I used a straight cut and the cap held up great. Overall this is a great cigar for yard work or enjoying it with a cup of coffee like I did. The best part of it for me is the price point. Can’t beat it.
