Review Notes:
Decent looking, oily wrapper. Tasted of nuts.wood.brown_sugar for the first half. The second half of the cigar kind of just layed there. While the draw was great, the cigar did run on me a bit and the thing burned pretty fast. I was impressed with the first half, let down by the second.

Review Notes:
Ok, I was all hyped up about this cigar, that may have added to my dissapointment. The construction was TOP tier, my first 10 rating will go to this. The burn was great and it had a nice oily feel to the perfect wrapper. However, the flavor was bitter from the start. It did mellow as the burn continued, but the flavors never really came out and I was just tasting regular old smoke that you might get from a far less expensive cigar. So, if you are more into style than function, this could be a cigar for you. If not, look elsewhere..

Review Notes:
Slightly leathery, but not too much, peppery at end, yet not spicy. Very nice, fuller than the likes of a CAO Gold, but not as much punch as a Punch; smooth, easy, but full. Nice transitions. Love the look, great construction.

Review Notes:
This little robusto was very rich, tarry and oily. Complex flavors of sweet wood and notes of burnt molasses on the finish. The cameroon wrapper seems to dominate during the first 1/2, but it seemed to balance out after that. A few burn problems, but nothing major.

Review Notes:
Dark chocolate, nutty, coffee tones. Pretty good but the draw was a little too tough on mine and I would have a liked more smoke. I wouldnt mind trying more of these. I really liked the creaminess towards the middle. These excaliburs always seem to finish a little too quick.
