Review Notes: I purchased a box (NOV 05) of these four months ago. The first few were rather harsh but four months later, they can rival the No. 2s. The exteriors are dark and oily and they now have evoloved into a similar taste profile as the world famous torpedo. The flavors are not as pronounced as the torpedo, but rather a more well rounded version. However, the complexity stays the same through to the nub because it is robusto, not a torpedo whose ring gauge diminishes as you work your way to the end. Buy some, let me sit for a bit, and enjoy a very creamy, flavorful and smooth cuban smoke.

Review Notes: Got a couple and this last one has been in my humidor for 6 months. Great draw and complexity, medium to full, dark chocolate, spicy with nice finish.

Review Notes: Smoked my third from a 5x3pk earlier today that I got about two months ago. The first two must have been wet because they had a tight, almost impossible draw. I didn't care for the flavor on those either. This one was totally different. The flavor was full and the stength was a good medium. The draw was a tad firm but good. I couldn't pick out the flavors(unusal for me) because they seemed to be all over the place and not settled. Thats why I put in the title needs down time. The date on the box is Aug05 but because of the ring guage I will probably give these another year. They should be very good by then.

Review Notes: I've had 3 of these last week, and all were amazing.

Review Notes: I split a box of these (after hearing the reviews from CA) coming out of duty free in Israel one year ago. I got a box of 2005's (which from all accounts is its heyday). The are truly my shape cigar - fatty robustos. They look fantastic and the box was well arranged. After smoking them right off the bat they were great, last summer. I just pulled one out of the humi (after 11 mos. there) today - it was one of THE BEST cigars I have ever smoked. Beautiful to look at, great smells from the initial light, awesome evolving flavors. Only one issue, she burned very uneven - maybe the wind - but could have been more consistant for sure! Yet the flavors were out of this world!!! Creamy, Woodsy full blown flavors throughout!! An AMAZING cigar that only got better with age... only have 1 left :(. One of the best smoking experiences out there!!!
