Review Notes:Got a 5er of these when I bought a box of something else. Let them relax in a humi for 6 weeks then had 2 in the past week. Nice looking torps, almost as well rolled as my Bauzas. Nice smooth mild smoke but picked up an edge of harshness about half way down. Draw was a bit too easy, cigar was light, somewhat underfilled, and tended to burn hot. I needed to really watch my smoking to prevent it from getting harsh. I didn't find any big reasons to dump these cigars, but I don't see a good reason to pick one to smoke.

Review Notes:If you want a good golf smoke try Outdorsman's Reserve, I cant stand this one. I have some extra ones and will only give to drunk friends who want ot floss liek real players. this was a lovely looking finely constructed beast of a cigar, however it tasted liked an unfiltered cigarette. I aged one for three months in a perfect humidor and it tasted liek a Dutchmasters (el cheapo drugstore cigar, while not bad tasting only costs 35 cents a cigar, and is machined made) the flavor was extremely lacking. I love full cigars but can handle a mild one here and there, however this one had NO flavor. At least with mild cigars you can taste the tobacco. Try something else only try this if its free. Buyer beware, and to those who smoke this try a montecristo or CAO gold these are acceptable mild cigars. I wouldnt pay more than 50 cents for these rags. but at least they look good.

Review Notes:After reading the reviews, I must admit that I was intrigued. So, I secured a bundle of them, and well... I'm torn. The draw was overly easy, even with the smallest of cuts. The weight was strangely light, and the smoke was white and very billowy. I found the flavor to be nutty with a smooth butter-like texture, but there was a juvenile harshness to it that seemed to pull itself together at times, but ultimately reminded me that it was rough... sort of like the guy with the mullet at the symphony. The burn was even and the ash was normal, and after a minute or so, Earthy and leafy flavors popped up as well. The band is very classical, and they look nice, but it is not enough to overcome the final flavor shortcomings. This is a cigar for windy days, or long rides on the old lawnmower, and can be enjoyed with inexpensive alcohol and attention focused elsewhere.

Review Notes:Construction taste and burn are all good in this cigar. For the price you can't beat it. It is a little too mild for me, but I enjoy them from time to time

Review Notes:Let these nice flavorful torpedos rest a month or two and you'll be hard pressed to find a better cigar for the money. Seems all the "5 Vegas" I've tried are bitter and have a noticeable aftertaste until they dry out and rest awhile. Then my friend if you don't like them send'em on down to SC.
