Review Notes:Very nice looking cigar with great draw and lots of smoke. The cigar canoed badly and the flavor was almost non-existent. Its been in the humidor for about a month - perhaps it just needs more time

Review Notes:I agree with Chabber. It burns unevenly even if sitting in a chair with no wind. Taste is hard to describe. I did not find it harsh, but not great flavor either. Better ones for the money.

Review Notes:Nice oily, dark wrapper. Nice white ash. Good Leathery taste after a spicy start. For the price, I don't know what the complaints are about.

Review Notes:I thought I would give this try... I went for a drive and sparked this up. I found the burn a little uneven, but I was driving with the windows down. It started out with alot of pepper (which I like) and then the next third or so was pretty smooth. It had a very distinct aroma...I can't quite place it. The last third or so got kind of strong. This is a full bodied smoke. I will try it again, probably after a big dinner with a tall scotch. I don't know yet if I would buy a box, but I would certainly try another. It had a great prelight smell, nice wrapper and lots of smoke. Price I paid was Canadian - so needless to say - pricey.

Review Notes:Last week at the Raven's game, I graciously gave a fellow tailgater a Avo (XO), and a Punch (Gran Puro)......this week he returned the favor, as he gave me a Alec Bradley, and a Hoya de Mont.(Excalib.).......I certainly appreciated the H de M......but, I lost on the other half of the deal.....I found the Alec B. to be harsh, and very acidic. It had a good draw....that is all I can say.......other than that... I was extremely disappointed, and didn't believe all of the previous reviews.....this cigar was just bad!!!!! I only smoked 1/2 of it...b/c it was horrible. There are many other, much better- medium priced cigars on the market. It tasted, smelled, and reminded me of the cigars that you can buy at the grocery store, or 7-11. I'll take a 'Philly' Blunt" or a "White Owl" before I have this one again. Just Bad!
