Review Notes:Appearance- great, Construction -great. Flavor- starts great and JUST GETS BOREING TO BAD. This is the highest over rated stick next to a Cohiba- at least the Cohiba has the tastes and flavors to back it up. The only reason I see this as the top cigar in the review is because of Cigar Afficinado's review and additional media hype. YES it starts out like a glorious powerhouse out of the gate but less than 3/8" in -it loses all of its flavor and taste. I have burned at least a half dozen hopeing I was missing something.... there are so so so many better sticks than this - don't believe the media hype and certainly don't waste your money buying a full box. Buy a single -see what you think (not what it ranks but what you taste) I think most experienced smokers would agree

Review Notes:I can't believe this is the top ranking stick. Maybe this is #1 because it is a combination of Cigar Afficinado's high ranking, marketing, low price and availabilty. I would agree with 90% of the reviews -it starts out like glorious sex, unfortunatley it is like sex at 16yrs old -over in minutes. This stick is a powerhouse out of the gate but quickly becomes mundane and burnt out before you get 1/2 way through it. The finish? What? (yes i've fingerburned more than half a dozen -only hoping for a redemption). It has no mentionable finish. Looks great, great construction, value ~ questionable. Taste- there are SO many better cigars than the OV don't believe the hype.
