Just a quick review for a quick cigar:
The Machito is a cigarillo measuring 4.0"x32, wrapped with a Corojo wrapper and originating from Honduras. The list on these is $125 for a five pack of 8 ct. tins, making them roughly $3 each which is a little pricey, but fortunately they can be found on your favorite cigar auction site much cheaper.
The cigar starts out with lots of pepper and a bit of chocolate, but soon moves to include a creamy cedar flavor. There is not much in the way of flavor evolution, but that is to be expected with such a short smoke. What you get about 1/4" in is what you'll get at the nub.
Overall, I really like these little guys for a quick cigar break. Sometimes Honduran cigars just don't do it for me, but I always enjoy a Machito. I plan to always have a tin on hand for those times I want a cigar, but don't have an hour or more to dedicate to one.
