Review Notes:
For as good as the giants are, this was a disappointment. The box pressed look was just that!! It drew too light and the construction was very soft, the ash stayed on 1/3 the way at which time I tossed it. the ash was a dull grey but held together and burned nice. The taste was like the 25 cent king edwards of my youth, somewhat harsh with no real tobacco flavor. This cigar made me think of how much time we can spend trying to find a great cigar for a few bucks, when we could have had a great smoke for less than a buck more.

Review Notes:
Tried another one of these after five months in the humidor, and I have to say that there wasn't much of an improvement. It got a little smoother, but not much. Still, not a bad stick for $3.00.

Review Notes:
Nice box-pressed appearance and construction with an even burn. Draw was a little loose. Had a decent flavor, which was on the earthy side. A little too bitter for my tastes. If you like the earthy/cereal flavors this may be the one for you. I give it an okay rating because at $2.90 per stick, you can do a lot worse. Don't think I'll be buying any more of these, though.

Review Notes:
This was my first camaroon wrapper stogie. The thing lit beautifully, and maintained a razor-sharp burn all the way through. Smoke aroma was pretty normal, if not a tad on the bitter size, which is definately in contrast with the flavor. Wrapper was nice, slightly mottled, and looked dry (but wasn't), but all in all pretty nice looking.
Flavor was excellent, in my honest opinion. An earthy-sweet flavor mingles well with a straight-ahead tobacco flavor (slightly bitter). The only drawback on this stick is that it leaves a but of a stale taste on the palette for the rest of the day. However, I found this to be an acceptable trade-off.
Draw was a bit loose, and the cigar went out when not properly attended to. The looser draw cause the flavor to become hot and harsh near the last inch and a half, which is pretty common. A nice silvery-white ash holds up pretty well (if not average). All in all, considering the price, an excellent buy.

Review Notes:
Got a 5er from the devil, a little to floral for my taste the first go around. Sat them down for several months and decided to try one again and it was a pleasant surprise. Smooth and sweet medium bodied smoke with hints of nuts. Not bad.
