Review Notes:Got a 5 pack of these on c-bid for $5. Looked OK and all was well until I lit it. Started a bit harsh, then settled in to a flavor like sucking on a charcoal brickette. At about half way it started to tunnel severly. I'll give the rest away to anyone who will have them

Review Notes:This maduro had good promise, but failed to deliver. Additional aging outside of the few weeks in my humidor might have helped it. The start was chocolately but with an unpleasant tangy overtone, and the second half gained some leathery tones too. The tanginess vanished at the half, but at around 2 inches it became flavorless and harsh. Maybe I got a dud considering the other favorable reviews.

Review Notes:Got this for 1/2 price in local shop in Pgh. area. A rough, toothy wrapper that was very dark. Nothing overwhelming taste-wise, just a consistent dark coffee taste with a medium body. Slow, straight burn with plenty of smoke. Recommended for a morning/afternoon selection.

Review Notes:The cigar had a decent appearance, but the wrapper was a little dull for a maduro. Construction was better, and the cigar burned perfectly in terms of draw and consistency of burn. The flavor was an upper-mild, with some notes of wood and a tiny hint of spice. The finish is on the short side, but smooth. Overall, this is a decent anytime cigar, that lacks some punch and complexity.
Review Notes:Looking good this dark beauty. nice bright white ash, even burn and great draw. A good cigar w/ plenty of rich robust nutty coffee like smoke and a fine finish + aftertaste. Greenlight.
