The Paradiso Papagayo XXL was a cigar my cousin brought to our monthly smoking gathering, as it's bigger brother, the Paradiso Revelation Leviathan, wasn't available in our B&M store.

Visually, the cigar is as equally stunning: a solid cigar without any visual defects, with a great, color-full band, and a size that is suited for real men (pun intended).

The burn was excellent, only needing a small touchup here and there. The draw was a bit firm initially, and I had to recut to improved the draw., but I might have been a bit too conservative with my first cut.

Tastewise, we had no complaints, enjoying notes of Nuts, Coffee and Chocolate...

While I slightly favor the Revelation Leviathan, this XXL is a very good alternative for when it's not available, or when we have slightly less time to burn...
