Despite looking intimidating, being my first experience with the gordo size, these are fairly mild, definitely not complex, nor developing into anything super interesting as they smoke. Surprisingly on the mild side, nothing offensive or bitter about them. Coffee and a bit of leather, maybe a little bitter chocolate note lurking along with a hint of black pepper on retro. Easy to enjoy without paying too much attention, cheap and cheerful enough to be a daily. Ultimately would buy these again at the price.
