Review Notes: Excellent cigar in every way. If you like mild cigars because you're in search of a smooth cigar, then switch your mentality; you can have a full-bodied cigar that smokes just as smooth. THis is a rich, oily cigar with soooo much flavor. The value is impecible.

Review Notes: To start off I like the tissue as it is more elegant than celo and better than nothing at all so for appearance thats a plus for me. The cigar is well constructed with beautiful dark leaves with a good taste and the color does not come off so that makes me believe this is well fermented traditionally. Easily cut with my Xikar nice pre-smoke draw smell/taste. Lights nicely with a very good draw I like a rather loose draw but not too loose with a heavy full feel which this cigar possesses. Large gage ample amounts of cool smoke great taste. One of my favorites.

Review Notes: Construction was excellent. Draw was good. Flavor was a little bitter at first but quickly mellowed out.

Review Notes: I was so excited to try this cigar and was very disappointed with its construction. The cigar burned very unevenly all the way down one side of it. I also found it difficult to get a solid draw. I ended up having to stop smoking it due to the burn. However, the part that I did smoke tasted great and I will give this cigar another chance in the future. I just hope the construction is better next time.

Review Notes: El Rey is a well built smoke. I have to disagree with the idea that you smoke them "fresh" though. As will many fine long-filler smokes, time can often make a difference. That is the case with this cigar. With just 4 additional humidor months at 65% RH, this cigar has added a dimention of smoothness that improves my previous rating. I love the maduro El Reys the most, but they really don't make any bad cigars.
