Review Notes:
The title pretty much sums it up - probably one of the most nutty and creamy smoke I've ever experienced. I personally didn't care much for the flavor, but tastes are subjective.
On all other accounts, it isn't a bad cigar. The look nice, with only a few evident veins in the wrapper, they burn well leaving a sivery-gray ash, and there are no seeming flaws in the constrution. The cigar produces a lot os smoke, and the silvery-gray ash holds on for about three-quarters of an inch before it comes off. The draw is also fairly loose. I;d compare these to an Indian Tabac Conneticut. It's a mild stick with a very profound nuttiness and creamy character.
The price it pretty good on these. While I wouldn't recommend these, I certainaly would go around saying that they suck either.

Review Notes:
This was a very light flavoured cigar with an excellent burn, draw and ash. The cigar lasted about 1.5 hours and gave good smoke throughout. The flavour was extremely light to begin with but the last third produced an almost, but not quite, mild flavour. This is a good cigar if you are not in the mood for anything too harsh.

Review Notes:
Lacking in a lot of respects. The high points were construction and appearance. I've had many pricier smokes that were not as well made. Once lit everything went down hill. The smoke was weak, flavor was what I imagined the Baccarats to be like without the sugary cap. Spend an extra buck and get the Rocky Patel Connecticut. It is far superior in every aspect.

Review Notes:
I knew this cigar would be light, but I didn't think it would be THAT light. Construction was great, as was the appearance. Pre-light aroma was nice, and I was pretty eager to fire this one up. The draw was too tight, although the volume of smoke I got wasn't too bad, realtive to the tightness of the draw. The flavor was just...lacking. It really seemed to be a gussied-up drugstore cigar. It tasted like very indistinct bland tobacco, and although it was better than smoking nothing, it really wasn not enjoyable. Luckily, it was only $3.49. Save this cigar for first-timers or friends who don't know anything about cigars.
