From Americanvikingcigars.com, "Rico Barato is not a real person. We made him up. His name means Rico - 'rich' Barato - 'cheap'. These are our econonmy cigar brand, and they have a very special place in our hearts. There was a long time when co-owner Tim Swanson could only afford sticks like these.ย Each stick is a mix of long filler with some short filler sprinkled in, making this a Cuban Sandwich. The drawback with these affordable cigars is that they burn a little faster, and have a pretty simple flavor profile. But we feel that these Connecticut sticks offer incredible consistency, construction, and flavor... especially for their shelf price."

Super impressed with this cigar. One of the best budget Connecticuts on the market. I enjoyed this one way more than I did the Maduro. Construction was solid, flavor was very good, aroma was excellent. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a golf or every day cigar.

I'm a newer cigar smoker and hopping around brands and flavors to figure out what I like.
This is a nice budget cigar. A little light on flavor compared to other premium brands I've tried but 1/3 of the price.
The flavor and aroma are not harsh but did leave a slight ashy flavor on my palette. Definitely worth trying.

Super smooth and mellow with absolutely zero harshness. The flavor is very mild and the only way I can think of to describe it is somethin so a faint resemblance to egg noodle pasta. Anything you pair this with will be the main course while this will be more of a side dish, and personally sometimes that's what I want.
The mellow flavor, complete lack acridity and cool burn, combined with a very affordable price make this a great anytime smoke and a perfect cigar to hand to a friend. As I smoke this cigar for the first time (not counting the cigarillo version I had earlier today), the only negative I can think of is that is is a little bit like smoking a pipe in that it does seem to want frequent puffs to avoid going out, a bit like a pipe. This is definitely going to be a staple in my collection.

Good flavor and cant beat the price. If you are smoking cheap cigars these are a good choice.
