A quick note on the La Aroma de Cuba: Had one this weekend, in a natural wrapper. Churchill size. Good smoke, highly recommended. Tangy, spicy flavor, and a bit fruity. The flavor was strong from the beginning, unlike some Churchills that require you to smoke down the first inch to get a taste of anything.
For a Churchill, it smoked fast; perhaps because it was a slightly narrower, 48-ring size. I got a good 70 minutes out of it, with the flavor holding up until the last 1.5 inches. I put it out then, although some hard-core smokers might have continued.
The only weakness was a short finish, if you care about that sort of thing. A great cigar if you're doing something - socializing, playing cards, etc. But not the creamy, long finish you need to luxuriate decadently. Not an alone-on-the-deck masterpiece, but worthy of having again in the right snappy environment.
