Review Notes: It sounds like the last reviewer must have got a dud, because this cigar was one of the best I've ever had. Granted, I really enjoy the other La Flor Dominicana offerings, especially the Ligero line, but I don't know how anyone could not appreciate the quality of this cigar. The odd-shaped perfecto was expertly crafted. I've never had such a consistent burn on a cigar – a perfect “ring of fire” around the foot, for you Johnny Cash fans. The ash was powdery and snow white; I only had to knock it off twice during the entire smoke. The flavor was also wonderful. It started with rich leather and spice and ended with dark chocolate. This cigar does come on strong and pack a punch, so I can see why some people with more delicate palettes may not likeit, but there is no denying the quality of the tobacco used or the construction of this stick. Any bad experiences must be due to fluke sticks or a personal preference for lighter cigars.

Review Notes: I am gonna get into troubles, but... If it looks like a turd, tastes like turd it must be... El Jocko. Well, it is not exactly a dog rocket, but I expected more since everybody is raving about them. The cigar has interesting perfecto shape. Maduro wrapper is spotty, darker and lighter patches. Not very attractive. Burn is OK. The biggest disappointment is taste/flavor. It remainded me my recent unpleasent encounter with connies #14. Taste is sweetish, with good nicotine kick, but the flavor is atrocious. Green, grassy, metallic and turdy. I could not smoke it past first inch.

Review Notes: Shaped like a just-fed python, and suspiciously short, it redeemed itself instantly. Normally, I enjoy liquor with a cigar, but this one calls for a beer. I had the good fortune of having a Sierra Nevada with it, and the flavors of golden toast that the drink brought out were nothing short of wonderful. To say that it burns slowly is an understatement. Though an easy draw, it stays cool and burns at glacial speed. I watched an entire college basketball game and was only 1/2 way through the cigar. Then, I got trampled in a billiards game, and it had only burned another 1/2 inch. After watching 3 guys strike out with the hot bartender: another 1/2 inch. Finally, after a lengthy story, which I think was either about Vietnam or ply-wood, from the guy sitting next to me at the bar, another 1/2 inch. I left and drove back to my hotel, and somewhere south of San Jose, I finally finished it. I was sad to see it go... we had been through so much together. I hope to have one again soon, but I will set aside plenty of uninterupted time, and have a beer with it.

Review Notes: Good flavor for a milder smoke. Taste improved as it went along. Perfect draw. Tons of white smoke with solid ash. Ran 2x but corrected itself. (Part of Blind Taste Test - 2000).

Review Notes: medium to full flavor. earthy with a spice that got stronger as you smoked. ash was long but on the dark side. burned very well. nice smoke
