Review Notes: After the first inch, I was ready to pitch, but this cigar rebounded nicely. The taste was a bit irritating in the beginning and I thought I'd throw a good bit of money away. However, this maduro got better as it reached the halfway mark and beyond. Sure it's a bit overpriced, but remember I'm not really a big maduro fan and I liked it, think how you big maddie lovers would feel!!

 Review Notes: Very nice all around. Smooth flavor that stayed down to the end. Little too loose of a draw, as one reviewer noted, for the first half of the cigar. Decent smoke, even burn, all that good stuff.

 Review Notes: For a fantastic apprearence, even burn and great taste - this cigar has too much air filler, soft spots and is a relatively short smoke. It is WAY TOOOO pricey. I call this the rip-off Maduro.

 Review Notes: I say frustrating because this cigar had some wonderful and complex flavors for a short time in the middle. Except for the middle two inches, I found it to have quite a tight draw and at times be lacking for smoke. This was disappointing because about an inch into the cigar the flavor suddenly got very rich and it was shaping up to be an excellent smoke. That lasted maybe an inch and a half, and then back to the tight draw and limited smoke. I liked the flavor of the cigar a lot in the middle. I will probably follow a friend's advice and try the AVO#2 Maduro that he recommends.

 Review Notes: this was a really enjoyable cigar! the construction was great the taste was very good, medium bodied. a near perfect slow burn.
