Review Notes:
I read about the low rider in a Playboy article on throwing a good poker party so I tried the Shorty cause it was "cheaper". Maybe the cost makes you think they're top notch, but in reality, I don't believe I'll buy more because there are just too many sticks out there that are just as good for half the cost. If you wanna look cool though........

Review Notes:
The title about says it all. The flavor started out promising with cayenne and pears but quickly turned to crisp newspaper and black pepper. Towards the end, notes of mint became evident, but the papery flavor turned to cardboard and dominated the experience. The pepper flavor was still strong as well. Overall, one of the more lively medium-bodied smokes I’ve come across, (pretty strong for its size, too), but I just don’t care for the taste of paper in a cigar. The construction was very good – perfect draw and tons of smoke, but I don’t think I’ll try this one again.
PS – I agree with the previous reviewer who suggested that this cigar would pair well with a good Tequila - particularly a blanco.

Review Notes:
This was reallynicely rolled, perfect draw, great burn. The taste was OK but far too mild for my tastes. I suppose these are made for people who want a nice mild cigar.

Review Notes:
I selected this stick out of my humi for a quality smoke to enjoy in a short period of time. Very smooth tan wrapper with almost no veining. Construction seemed solid except for the foot, which was soft and loose. Prelight aroma was average - nothing to write home about. Light was easy. Draw was hot and harsh for the first 1/2 inch until the construction started to improve (this was stored and handled appropriately, so it was not iatrogenic). Started immediately with several woody notes, particularly oak and cedar, as well as mild pepper. The flavor remained one-dimensional throughout, though it became smoother as it was smoked. The ash was white-gray and was flakey (especially at the foot). Voluminous smoke. This 30 minute cigar actually has some kick to it, which was surprising given its small stature. In the end, however, I felt that there were much better smokes out there for the price. Paired well with a fine tequila (Patron silver).

Review Notes:
There are better cigars out there for less money!! I paid $9.50! The cigar was stronger than I expected - Although the appearance and construction of this cigar were on par with other excellent cigars, the flavor was undescribable - woody and peppery would be a start, but lacking other distinguishing characteristics - just not particularly memorable for the money.
