Review Notes: Taste exactly like the Partagas 150 and costs a lot less. Has a creamy almost cola like flavor and very consistent throughout. Unlike the partagas 150, you can still get these.

Review Notes: I agree exactly with Dr. Wu, got a sampler from Richard, same 05/05 and it tastes exactly the way he said it did. Just ran out and got a box on sale $139 you cannot beat that price/performance anywhere domestic

Review Notes: Smooth burning and full of subtle flavors.

Review Notes: To Dr. Wu...I just received a cabinet of 50 from the same batch you got your box from. I agree with you, this is one UNDERRATED smoke! They have this reputation for being so mild, almost bland they're so light, and I wish to dispell that rumor right now. The cab I got, SXF-MAY.05, has some of the darkest wrappers I've ever seen on Habanos, even including some of the Edicion Limitadas...I've had a few dress boxes of 25 in the past 18 mnths, and they have a kind of "rough" look about them, but who cares? The proof is when you lit one up, and let the cigar take you through it's stages. The oily wrapper adds to the general nice feeling in hand, and I, for one, happen to love the size. I love Robustos, too, but something about these Hermosos No. 4 that make them seem a perfect size and ring (48 X 5.0) The tastes are not only pronounced and awesome, but in oerfect compliment to each other. Very spicy, peppery and woody, with coffee and chocolate notes as well. The finish is woody and long, but I can't decide if it's cedar or what. This cigar is one of those hidden gems that offer great value and strong character. I would hearttily encourage anyone to try to find a cabinet of these, especially from this batch. It's recent enough that their are probably many dealers that have them in stock. I know that my supplier, Top Cubans in Switzerland have them, and more than a few cabs as well.

Review Notes: Sorry, can't help it. Smoked the 2nd one I had last night (with Pinot Noir) and this is just a fantastic cigar. This one was real young (SXF MAY 05) I have learned, but tasted as though it was well aged with delicious, medium bodied, Creamy smoke. The only thing I can compare flavor of these to is maybe a real nicely aged Davidoff Anniversario No 1 = CREAMY to the max. Am ordering a box immediately because I can get same factory and date codes and since they are smoking so damn good right now, I will go through the box in short order. Am looking forward to a bunch of great fall nights with these watching the Red Sox win another World Series and the Patriots continue their domination of the NFL.
