Review Notes: I got this cigar in a sampler where the box is in the shape of a book, for whatever that's worth. This belicoso is heavy in the hand and the wrapper is smooth and supple(sp?). The burn is perfect, no adjustments needed. The first half is creammy and smooth with a nutty taste, nothing xtraordinary, just a nice mild cigar. The second half picks up to a med. strength with the nutty flavor picking up a bit and staying very smooth. The smoke time came in at well over an hour, this is a very well packed cigar. Now that I'm down to the nub, I'm leaning towards a better rating. This is a premium cigar all the way.

Review Notes: I got this one in the sampler they were selling back in late '07, so it's been sleeping for a good 18 months. Beautiful cigar, really. I lit it up in the morning on Father’s Day, and it was all right. Nothing extraordinary. Went out for no discernable reason a couple of times. Flavor didn’t do much, but what it gave wasn’t bad. Consistent. Burned through it a lot quicker than I would have thought, more the pace of a robusto. Glad I didn’t pay MSRP, for it. Might have had to nick down some of the scores if I had.

Review Notes: A disappointment. The cigar looked great until it was lit, after which it began to crack in several locations as the flame progressed. The taste was actually very bland as well, with not a lot of character. Honestly, I expected better. I actually like the 1875's better.

Review Notes: Got a sampler pack of 5 of these a few months ago. The smoke was bland, and bitter. No true flavor or enjoyment noticed. I was not impressed. Maybe it was just a bad batch and they are better in the box. But I will not be purchasing anytime soon.

Review Notes: I usually smoke maduros and stronger cigars but this was a nice change of pace. A nice looking torpedo, a few spots, prevent it from being a 10. The first few inches were smooth with a woody taste with a bit of sweetness. The draw and burn were perfect. After the first ash it started to burn uneven and needed a few touchups. It gained some nuttiness but eventually turned harsh with 2 inches left. Received this from a CS member, but have seen these for around $6.00, so I would be more than willing to pay that when I'm wanting a milder cigar.
