Review Notes:Had this one sitting around in the humi and decided to give it a go after dinner. Appearance was flawless, with a chocloate brown wrapper and almost no veins. It reminded me of my first Cuban Montecristo No. 2, the way it looked and felt. (Not exactly the same size, of course, but for some reason, that's what I thought of as I held it.) The draw was tight until I had clipped about 1/2" off the head, then it opened up. First impressions were of pepper and a slight woodiness. The woodiness was the dominant flavor throughout, with a tobacco taste, a slight sweetness like raisins, and not much else. I found it fairly one-dimensional, as these flavors never changed for me. It was smooth the entire length, but the flavors were faint and hard to distinguish. I found it rather boring, as it's a big (6.5" x 52 RG, unlike the description), mild tasting smoke that burned really slowly, taking me over 90 mins to nub. If you enjoy the flavor, though, this smoke is highly recommended. The flavors I could taste were ok and the burn was perfect the whole way. It just didn't have enough pizazz or strength of flavor to keep me interested. If I wanted a smoke around this size and shape, I'd much rather reach for a SCdlH Muralla, as those are much more interesting and enjoyable... But at about 5X the price. I got a nice nicotine buzz from this.. It was mild in the beginning, but turned into a full bodied smoke in the last 3rd. I can't say I'll be buying more of these. I think I'll stick to the robustos, as they're shorter, and I seem to remember enjoying it more.

Review Notes:Outstanding cigar, firm with no gaps and a luxurious brown capa. Upon toasting the foot the aroma wafted in my direction and really added to the experience. It started with ceder and sweetness, and perhaps a little Cuban "twang". Rich and smooth until the first ashing at about 2". That's when a lovely sweet spice appeared on the front and middle of my tongue, and on my lips too. Unfortunately for me, at about the halfway point black pepper began to drown everything else out. Its intensity grew and grew until I was no longer enjoying the experience. At the band I let 'er go. The construction and burn were perfect and it stayed cool all the way. I'd call it a medium to full cigar, and ever so smooth until the pepper.
I had the same experience with the Series O 5" x 50 perfecto. I suppose it's just a body chemistry thing. I'll try again one day. Too bad too, because it's a lovely cigar
Review Notes:I like the 'V's more, but this was still a quality cigar. flawless burn and good flavor.

Review Notes:Heard a few good things about the O. Mild to medium at the start; picked up a little at the end. Biggest complaint was the draw but I'll chalk it up to a bad stick. Burned well but went blue in the face trying to get something out of it.

Review Notes:These are a little lighter than I normally like but their fine as a daytime smoke. Their look good, their well made, burn and draw well, if you like lighter smokes these will suit you nicely. Their creamy, tasty smokes with a pleasing aroma but not for a special occasion, their just not challenging enough. But if you like a hour long daytime smoke you could do a lot worse.
