Review Notes:
I have just one of these out of a sampler pack, so I let it rest for two months to give it a chance to settle down. This cigar looks nice with a pale wrapper and the const. is good with no touch-ups needed, but the ash is very flakey. The flavor is a bit nutty with just a bit of earthiness, from start to finish it stays the same, not very complex. For $2.00 a cigar this is an O.K. stick, it just grab me enough to buy a box of them.

Review Notes:
Saw good reviews for this Series here on Top25 so picked up a sampler on CBid. The yellow was my first. Let it sit in the humi for about 2 mos before smoking to give it time to settle down
Appearance and Construction: Not so great. Wrapper is a bit sloppy, bumpy, with a couple of bad seams (I don't think this is a storage issue -- humidity is steady and other sticks in the humi don't have any problems at all). Cap is solid. The stick feels a bit lighter than I'd expect.
Burn: Ok. Ash is a little flaky, burn needs some correction. Burned out on my twice in the second half.
Aroma/Flavor: a little light on both. I'd call this a medium bodied cigar. What flavor there was was good -- clean, creamy, smooth -- but not very complex. And I was surprised that there wasn't much of the twang that I expect from a cammie.
Overall: just ok. Wondering whether I just got one of the inconsistent sticks other reviewers mention. If so, I'll update.

Review Notes:
This cigar is very much on the mild side, with a nutty-cedar flavor that is not going to set the cigar world on it's ear. I've also noticed some consistency problems as the taste varies widely between cigars even in the same five-pack. The burn, appearence and construction of this stick are about average or a little above. Not as good as the red and green, selections, but better than the Serie 55 Blue.

Review Notes:
I like the yellow 55s. Buddy and I split the 20 55 sampler (4 of each) and I think the yellow is my favorite. Nice tight ash, the right "cigar aroma" and stayed smooth to the finish.
