Review Notes: The worst part wasn't the $4.50 I wasted on this. It wasn't the fact that, when it had any taste at all it was just bitter (and this one was well-aged). What really cheesed me off was that it was so overpoweringly horrible it ruined my tastebuds for a better smoke. Couldn't even make up for it by smoking something good. A cigar has to be really bad for me to just pitch it, but after suffering through a quarter of this one, I couldn't take any more. The only reason my score is as high as it is, is because the construction wasn't that bad.

Review Notes: I received this little gem as part of a promotional sampler. My expectations were quite low based upon the previous reviews. This is definitely a Nicaraguan, not to be enjoyed by the faint of heart. This box-pressed stick has a strong, but full flavor; well constructed providing a great draw and fairly even burn; consistent throughout. Great looking litle cigar at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend for Nicaraguan fans.

Review Notes: Quite a strong smoke. Smooth and full-bodied for the first third, but very heady and strong for the remainder. Needs some serious aging before smoking (at least 2 years). Not a cigar for beginners.

Review Notes: A beautiful presentation, with a reddish brown, oily sheen on this Habana 2000 wrapper. Medium to full bodied & smooth from the get go. My 4th one & no draw, or burn, problems to speak of. The only aesthetic detraction would be a somewhat dark, gray ash on this box pressed beauty. This cigar has a sweet aspect in the sinus. Have had flashes of caramel & burnt brown sugar. The finish reminds me of a fresh ocean breeze, leaving a slight saltiness on the palate. This cigar will get high marks for value as I paid $37 for the box. Bravo!

Review Notes: This cigar had a nice draw with plenty of smoke. It looked nice to. When it comes to taste however this one is lacking. It is a very harsh smoke with very little flavor. This one really needs to age a bit before they release for sale.
