Review Notes: well i think too much hype here.that musty flavor its really not for me.this is too mild for my palate.some coco and dried coffee beans but complexity is not a strong side of these cigars.burn problems ,a little uneven,overpriced yes and dont deliver what they should.i will try again but no boxes for me.

Review Notes: This cigar is a short story with a sad ending: sad because it ends. You're looking at the stub you've just smoked, as wide as it is long, burning your fingers, and thinking Damn, that was sweet. Smelling it before lighting it, I did a double-take -- the tobacco has a rich, hard-to-place aroma that gives you an idea about what's to come. It's packed with flavor and strong (but not harsh) when lighting. It feels like a brick but has an open draw. The flavors come in waves, I can't name 'em, it's just a continually unfolding experience. Even after it's (sad) eventual end, the aroma seems to be evolving. An impossible price but also an impossible cigar -- this is why you started smokin' em in the first place. To compare the #9 to the #1, I'd say that the #9 is more of an amplified and upfront smoke: bigger, louder, more vivid -- but not as long lasting. Great to clearly experience how the different shapes highlight different qualities of a cigar, and it's because all the details of these cigars (construction, draw, condition) are perfect.

Review Notes: Pretty much the same review as the No. 2. I've smoked many from both the '26 & '64 lines & all I can say is that I don't think there's a bad one in the bunch, and this is no exception. Beautiful construction & presentation, dark & oily with great prelight aroma, great burn & smokes with all the power & earthy spice I've come to expect from maduro line. They do run a bit high in price, but you get what you pay for. Plus you can find them online cheaper than a lot of shops sell them for, I paid about $15 each for the last bunch I got, so shop around!

Review Notes: such a great cigar. perfect balance, construction is flawless as usual. i can't give this a 10 in value since the increase in price [over the 64's] is not commensurate with the increase in quality. still it's one of the best if not the best in the 26 serie.

Review Notes: this cigar is just a work of art. Beautiful burn, and one of a kind taste. Always a perfect cigar to smoke.
