Review Notes:
After all the hype I got myself some of these to try out. I think I may have been expecting something that looked and tasted like a $10 cigar. The cigar is attractive and box pressed. I found the bands to be not done as well as higher end ones. There were some obvious veins on it. It smelled nice pre-light. Lighting was easy and draw pretty good, I'd say easymedium which is nice. Flavor is medium and it's a very nice taste. Definitely chocolately is the word here and earthy with peppery finish. The burn was even and produced a greyish/white ash, about 1" (more grey than white). Very smooth until the very end and finishes w/dark cocoa/coffee hints which linger on the palate. I had it with a coffee and the taste still came through. This is a value stick. I liked the flavor of it best. For $2, it's really good. My only gripe is that the construction isn't as nice as the $10 sticks out there (some of which can be purchased for $2-3 on CBID). Rating it in the context of other $2 sticks though, it's still up there.

Review Notes:
A decent cigar, to be sure, but hardly special, IMO. Construction is OK, although the maduro leaf had lots of bumps and splotches. Pre-light aroma is good, draw is fine. Flavors are overwhelmingly sweet chocolate and coffee. Too sweet for my tastes, but, hey, that's me.

I no speak english too good, so please forgive.
I like this Victor Sinclair for the small cost and how good it tastes. I have smoke cigars for many years and this is one of the good cigars.

Review Notes:
After my experience with an over priced Padron THIS was a breath of fresh air! The box press was great looking and I admired this cigar for a few minutes prior to smoking. The burn was slow and even and the flavors had a distinct coffee and chocolate flavor without seeming forced. I will buy more of these for my humidor. I really cannot say enough. VALUE +10!

Review Notes:
This is a good cigar, make no mistake. Draw is a tad loose, burn gets a little uneven, and the flavor is one-dimensional and is waaaay to mild. That being said, the flavor profile is excellent. This is the closest thing to smoking brownie batter, and I found it to be a smooth, enjoyable smoke. Unfortunately the strengh is just too weak, so the flavor is not as full onthe palate as I wish that it could be. For $2.00, you cannot go wrong on this stick, but it is not the be-all/end-all.
