Review Notes: Here's a 6 1/4 x 43 cigar for the budget minded. This little fella had a rough, papery wrapper slapped on the binder like a cheap coat of paint. The pigtail on the head and the unfinished foot give the stick a slipshod work in progress feel, like an early episode of This Old House if Norm took the season off. The flavor had quite a bite to it; harsh and rough. Spice and bright tobacco are buried under an astringent finish. A true mixed filler cigar, this one burned horribly unevenly.

 Review Notes: good rich tasting cigar at a great price. Construction is always good. It is without a doubt one of the best values available today. I have been smoking these for over ten years, and this cigar has remained very consistent. A lot better flavor than the Belinda Black.

 Review Notes: Definitely some taste here, let them sit for a couple of months to take out a bit of the initial harshness. At a buck a stick its a keeper.

 Review Notes: Just got a bundle of 25 from JR for 20 bucks. Should have let them sit in the humidor for a couple of days but had the time for a smoke and was in the mood. Noticed just a slight dryness when I cut it. Started a tad mild for a maduro but that was where the negatives ended. After 5 or 6 draws it livened up and was really good till the end. Burned well and tasted good all the way. Rich earthy flavor. Not a real complex flavor but it never tasted harsh and for 80 cents a stick it makes for an excellent smoke. Keep in mind I've only been enjoying cigars for about a year so a true conisour might see this differently but for 20 bucks a bundle it's worth a try.

 Review Notes: Just came back from golf and enjoyed the great little cigar. Started out subtle but livened up half way through and finished well. Only had to relight once. It had a pleasant earthy flavor. Glad I bought the whole bundle for $30 bucks
