Review Notes:
Are we all smoking the same thing!? Those that gave this IT SF (natural-H200) high marks must've never had a good smoke before. This is NOT one of their best - actually, probably their worst. RP should be ashamed for putting the IT band on this crapolla. I actually really liked the IT classic, cameroon, and maduro lines and CI had a special on these so I picked up a bundle. Can't be that bad, I thought. Big mistake. When I received the bundle I was anticipating smoking one that evening. It had all the signs of a quality smoke...nice wrapper, solid construction, quality cap, good pre-light aroma...I was beginning to drool. But that's about all that is going for this cigar. Draw was tight and produced little smoke. Flavors from what little smoke that came out were flat, grassy, and dry. Didn't even taste like tobacco. I coudn't smoke it pass half way and chucked it. I passed it off as a bad one and had one a week later. This time I smoked it all the way to about 1.5". Had to work at keeping it lit and had major tunneling problems. It got harsh at the halfway point and smoked hot. I tried another one a few days later...same thing. Yup, it's crap. And Super Fuerte? Hell, it's not even Fuerte! The only thing super about it is super waste of money. Good thing they were only about 2 bucks a stick. The rest will go to the bottom of my coolerdor. Maybe it will get better with age, but in my experience, crap now - old crap later. If you like cheap, bland, harsh smokes, this is the one for you. But if you like quality smokes (and why wouldn't you?), look elseware my friend.
