Review Notes:
This cigar was in the humi for a good few months. However, when I pulled it out I noticed a few cracks in the wrapper. These cracks turned out to be a major pain; I lost about 1/4 of the wrapper right off the bat. As for taste, this cigar had a strong, dark chocolate flavor with a solid tobacco and slight leather background. I really wish the wrapper hadn't split because this was a good tasting cigar. I will try another in the future though.

Review Notes:
The Maxx curve is an okay cigar, I mean it won't knock your socks off. However it's worth the four bucks I paid and it was pretty nice and not distracting while I worked on my lawn mower. When they named this line Maxx, it must have been for the ring guage and not for it's strength. I mean it's pretty solid in the medium range, Overall I feel like I got my money's worth ($3.50), but not much more.

Review Notes:
I got this cigar as part of a Mike's Sampler grouping, and the previous reviews I read left me with low expectations. I wound up pleasantly surprised throughout my 50-minute walk (and only 2/3 of the cigar consumed). But even if the rest smokes badly, I'll have gotten my money's worth. Nice oily surface, easy draw, good aroma, medium body, even burn.

Review Notes:
I was hoping for a pretty good smoke. It was beautifully made in a great size. The prelit smell was enticing. But...it really just had a bad taste and odor. I smoked the entire cigar, hoping for something at least towards the end. There just was not much there. Beside that, the burn was terribly uneven, and I had to rellight it twice--while puffing it!! Basically, it was a letdown. I'll put my money elsewhere.

Review Notes:
As most of the previous reviews stated, this cigar looks great, but doesn't deliver the goods. The construction looked good and the draw was great, as most box pressed cigars are. The burn was uneven and did require a minor touchup. flavors of wood and toasty/dry tones, with some spice. This flavor was pretty consistant throughout the entire cigar. I also was hoping this would be a little stronger with the dark Maduro wrapper. A good med strength cigar, just wish it had more power and had an even burn.
