Review Notes:
Well, probably one of the worst cigars I ever smoked...This thing was nice looking, but more or less the pros end here. Very uneasy draw, badly made and, more important than everything else, flavour was awful, bitter and harsh. Even if the price was not, in absolute terms, exaggerated, a truly bad smoking experience and, consequently, appalling bad value.

Review Notes:
This cigar is a great value, for around the price of $5.00. It has a very smooth but bold flavor, and burned nice to the end. Will purchase again.

Review Notes:
Excellent value, and taste...This is one of the best cigars on the market if you don't have an hour set aside to smoke. Great consistency every time I buy them, Very full bodied with lasting flavor. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor!

Review Notes:
Beautiful appearance, and good pre-light aroma. I found the flavor to be pretty one-dimensional. It was medium bodied, with a leathery/tobacco flavor. Not bad, just not that interesting. Construction was good until the last third, when I got some tunneling, though this was rectified with a little welding job with the lighter. Will try again, as maybe this was just a bad stick.

Review Notes:
Wow. First off, this guy is gorgeous. The wrapper looks like it should have been used to make a bomber jacket. The construction is impecible, firm with just a little give, yet the draw is smooth, if ever so slightly tight (this is the only remotely negative thing I have to say about the entire experience and the only reason it gets those two '8's). It smoked slow, cool and even down to the band (which took me something like 90 minutes to get to). The flavor was ever so slightly a tad bit harsh only while I was actually lighting it. After that t calmed down beautifully! Leathery, creamy and nutty (I almost want to say specifically like a Brzil Nut, but that may be the subconcious influence of the wrapper color talking) with a nice layer of spice throughout. The creamy leather-nuttiness got more pronounced as I worked my way down, but the spice never became overpowering. The slight aftertaste I have left is utterly pleasant. Many "full bodied" cigars leave me wanting mouthwash at the end, however the thought never even occured to me while smoking this beauty. I recently smoked a pair of Cuban LGCs while overseas, and I don't think they had anything on this cigar. The bang for the buck is incredible for this baby!
