Review Notes: I honestly don't get the weak reviews on this smoke. I have been smoking these for years and have found them always consistent, consistently outstanding! It has a hardy maduro flavor that does not diminish as the stick burns. Very full-bodied, you know you have smoked an excellent maduro. Its only downfall is that you need to baby the burn from time to time to keep it even. Overall a GREAT smoke for the price!

Review Notes: One of my go-to favorites for "overall value" cigars. Perfect draw and good construction; I can't say great because of slight burn issues here and there. Well-blended flavor of coffee and slight caramel keeps me burning each one to the nub. Great maduro at a great price... if you are new to maduros, this is what you should expect from the extra fermentation...

Review Notes: I have sat around and smoked these with about 30 different cigar lovers, and the word "harsh" has never come up. Even as we all approached the nub (which happens every time). This smoke will always be in close reach in my humi. For those who said it was too harsh...pair it with a good stout or porter (drink cool, not cold). Smoke it sloooowly, savor. Its a powerful smoke and the hotter it gets the harsher it will be. It is up to individual taste as to whether you prefer the natural or this, but this is what a maduro should be. Lots of bitter-sweet chocolate, coffee, and roasted nuts.

Review Notes: Consistently a very nice smoke, when I'm not in the mood to take a chance at the cigar shop, these never let me down. Nice smoking, full bodied maduro, consistent flavor, dosen't disapoint. All this & a fair price too!

Review Notes: These are pretty powerful cigars with intense flavors, not for the light of heart. Without proper storage, I've found several to be kind of bitter, which I think is reflected in a few of the bad ratings below. Great complexity of toffee, sweet maduro, coffee and very light tarry bits. When they are properly aged they lose a bit of strength and strangely quite a bit of complexity. I prefer the natural versions by far, especially when aged.
