During my recent trip to the Dominican Republic to tour the La Aurora Cigar Factory I was gifted a box of B.M.E Domicana from them. Despite these cigars coming as a gifted I decided to burn them. The result is this review which is just as honest as if I had bought them. Yes, this is a disclaimer and it is now required by law to offer a disclaimer on items that were comped.

The original 1495 Series was made to commemorate the 510th anniversary of Christopher Columbus arrival to the valley of Cibao which is the home of some of the best Dominican tobacco. The BME edition is available only to Brick & Mortars and cannot be found online.
