Marco V Cigars is a new company making cigars in the Dominican Republic. All the cigars they make are 60 Ring and made in limited batches to keep the quality high. The cigars I was sent were the Platinum Label Grand Reserve a Medium-Full Bodied Cigar according to the website.
My Take:
The cigar burns well and fairly cool. The predominate flavor is a sweet chocolate with a cherry note to it, which I pick up in some of the Punch Cigars. There was a bit of a coffee flavor in the background, but the sweetness definitely dominated the cigar.
Verdict:
A very good cigar and affordable. Definitely worth giving this cigar a try, especially if you are a fan of General Cigar’s Punch Line. It isn’t available in many retail locations yet, but they do sell them directly on their website.

Marco V Cigars are a great value. This is a smooth and fairly light cigar – very enjoyable. I have not seen them in retail locations as yet. A friend of mine order them on line and it was a pretty easy transaction.
