Review Notes: Now that I've stocked up these and after you go to Cigar-Bid and buy a bunch of 5 packs then you can tell your friends. These aren't good. They are fantastic. The last one I smoked had a ripped to shreds wrapper, (careful...warning, fragile wrapper...keep the humidity up on these in your box...if dry...you'll cry!) was smoked outside at an Irish bar in a prevailing wind, lit with a bic, and I had to slurp it down quick because at any moment my pokey-pal buddy Glenn was showing up with the baseball tickets. All this going against this cigar and it still rocked my world. Don't let the small size fool you...there is some strength to these yet they have a nice balanced different type of maduro flavor that hits my palate just right...just take your time and savor them. Make sure you age these bad boys for at least 60 days. You should be able to get these for $2-3 per stick. A 10 in value even at $5 a throw. Very impressed with these.

Review Notes: Another winner in the 55 line. I've been aging some of these and I'd highly reccomend aging. They are very good right out of the box, but with a little aging these turn into exceptional cigars - this cigar just gets better and better with aging! Smooth medium to full flavor, tastes of chocolate and spice. Beautiful white ash, even cool burn and tons of tasty smoke. Like the red labels these are not particularly cheap cigars, but IMHO even if you pay full retail it's worth the price. This is a really fine cigar!

Review Notes: What it lacked in appearance it made up for in flavor and smoking experience. This 5 country blend aged 5 years (hence Serie 55) started to burn uneven and had a slightly tight draw. The burn corrected itself and the draw improved with some gentle massaging. This let me get to what I considerered to be a smooth, rich, knockout flavor profile of coffee, dark chocolate, some earth and spice and an overall nice medium to full tobacco flavor. She lasted about an hour and 20 minutes and burnt nice and slow with a tighty grey-whitey ash. Nice aftertaste. Very surprised and impressed with this stick. Nabbed a fiver for $10. At that price a 10 in value. They can go for $5-7/ stick. Please read D.Dreggs well done first review of this stick.

Review Notes: As a maduro this especially fails miserably! I couldn't wait to smoke this attractive, dark maduro. It looked so classy with its blue wrapper at the head and foot. But alas, it tasted like smoke from beginning to end. Just alittle bitter with no complexity. Where was the chocolate, the sweetness, the flavor. Good thing I got this at a big discount, I've tasted a lot better sticks than this for a buck a piece, and so have you! After reading the other reviews, all I can think is that I got a bad one. I'll let you know.

Review Notes: these gars are like a friendly rottweiler, they may look menacing, but they are gentle. not that they are bland, but rather smooth, rich, and no bite. great construction, easy draw with loads of smoke.
