The Stogie Guys  Reviews of Bucanero Cigars Treasure of Costa Rica - BUY!

In January, Robert Spoden of Bucanero Cigars told us about his company’s philosophy
of focusing its resources on making great sticks, not marketing.
The six inch by 54 ring gauge Treasure Belicoso is a good case in point.
This Costa Rican puro boasts a smooth, leather-like flavor and excellent construction.

Verdict = Buy.

 "Blind tasting".

 The Bucanero Full Sail Maduro catches you first with its  name, and then with some aggressive looks.  A toro sized
      cigar with a wrapper as dark as the depths of the deepest sea, one expects a salt water slap in the face when you  get ready to smoke.
The surface of the Full Sail is a bit rough.  Not exactly  rough in a bad way, but rough in the way that weathered
       lines on an old mariners face add character.  One of our reviewers even added that the small imperfections in the
          wrapper gave this cigar a more interesting appearance. Rest assured that the Bucanero Full Sail Maduro leaves
             no impression stronger than this is going to be a deep rich smoke.

 A firm cigar with a roughly finished cap, the toro cut cleanly, and reveals a nicely packed cigar.  Expect a
        clean burn and draw.  All reviewers loved the ash of this cigar, as it slowly grows into a soft gray extension of the rest of the cigar.

   You got to love this ash, makes me remember cigars
     from before the cigar boom.  Nothing fancy, just a
  straightforward burnt tobacco gray.”

The initial aroma of the Bucanero did not leave many
   reviewers searching for adjectives, but this is a case where silence is golden.

  Flavor wise, the spice comes at you from the first draw.
                       No easing you into this smoke, the Bucanero has the sails open, and is taking you for a ride.

    “The Bucanero Full Sail Maduro started with some spice and earthiness from the first draw.

The taste of both increased as the burn neared the middle of the cigar.
The flavors were simple and balanced.
The taste  remained consistent throughout the rest of the cigar.
The cigar never became harsh or bitter.”

                      In the age where many cigar manufacturers seem to be trying to out dual each other on who can make the
                       strongest cigar, The Full Sail is a nice respite.  Often times the desire to increase strength will leave you tasting
                     something for the next week.  Not so here. It's refreshing that a boutique cigar producer can take additional risks,
                        and not try and appeal to every category of cigar smoker.  This is the case with Bucanero, and we applaud
                      them for continually coming out with quality products that a cigar smoker can rely on.

We highly recommend giving the Bucanero Full Sail
Maduro a try, in fact you likely won't go bad trying any ship in their marina.

 "Blind tasting"

 "Unbelievable!! The taste was a great blend of chocolate, cocoa and maybe a hit of occasionally fruitiness.
A taste of coffee emerged, but caused no bitterness. Then, with no warning, an "off-the-top-rope"
                               espresso smack in the face! Awesome! This cigar expressed a VSG-like flavor,
but without the associated harshness.
This baby was smooth from start to finish, with a beautiful crescendo of  strength and flavor,
                               accompanied by a gentle landing. I am hesitant to say this about a cigar
I just met. I don't even know your name yet. But, I think I love you!!!!!
A+ Ok, you have my review, now reveal the name of this cigar and no one gets hurt!"
