Review Notes:Not much to say about this cigar that hasn't been said here already. Flavor was nice with some sweet and spicy notes getting stronger toward the end. But overall pretty medium. Firm ash, good draw. Would smoke again for the right price.

I thought this was a great buy, darn inexpensive and quite tasty with a dram of Remy 1738. Yes, it does have the occasional burn problem, but hey it's a buck a stick what do you expect and also remember burn issues does not affect the taste.

Review Notes:This is one of my favorite everyday smokes. Not the most complex or exciting smoke, but I find it tasty and relaxing. The predominant flavor is a sweet earthy cedar with some light to medium pepper that develops throughout the smoke. There are hints of mushroom and some very subtle floral notes. This cigar gets better with at least a few weeks in the humidor. There are also a few duds in each 20 pack I have purchased, but for a buck fifty per stick, I can live with that.

Review Notes:These cigars aren't too bad as a filler cigar on those days when i have more than a few smokes and don't have a clear pallate. overall a bit earthy but nothing to rave about. Got them on clearance so they were about what i would expect for the price.

Review Notes:I can't help but note that the reviews for this cigar are all over the place, suggesting that quality controls are poor somewhere in manufacturing or in the supply chain. It doesn't really matter; if I can't trust the manufacturer to ensure I receive a consistent product then I'm not buying. Mine was free (came with a purchase bonus offer), and I actually found it a pretty fair smoke. Kind of a milder Nicaraguan, with decent flavor and a little pepper kick. Sorry, Tony, I've become risk averse when it comes to my cigar purchases. I have way too many cigars in my humidors that were purchased based on a couple of good experiences, only to discover that once I bought a box that half of them are duds.
