Review Notes: I think what Onyx really had going for it's Reserve series is its appearance. Its got a dark, oily black wrapper that definitely adds a distinctive look and flavor to the smoking experience. I found the taste boring. It was neither good nor bad, which isn't a point you want to ever reach when you pay good money for a smoke. While this isn't over priced by a long shot (and there are some manufacturers that will sell you the same kind of cigar for double the price), I think that you could find something with a more interesting flavor for the same about of money. Draw has been inconsistent and often poor for the several that I have smoked. Flavor has tasted woody and ashy. It's a good beginners cigar, but for those of us that have a more refined taste, you'll be utterly bored with this cigar. Try it and see if you like it, but buy a single, not a box.
