"Could not pawn these off to my friends."

Can remember one worse cigar tastewise. Tried giving these to my golfing buddies. They refused them.

"Had higher hopes, but great smoke!"

Received this cigar in the Alec Bradley sampler. Love MAXX cigars so wanted to try others by AB. Draw is great, tastes spicy throughout. Near the end is harsh but I smoked mine until my fingers burned. Had higher hopes but failed to deliver. Nice as a diverse intro to other creations from AB. Still sticking with MAXX!

"Pleasantly Surprised - New Favorite"

Got two of these in the AB Sampler and this was the first stick I tried. WOW, this thing has flavor! It reminded me of a smokey, oaky scotch. Flavor started early and lasted till the very end. Draw and construction were great. Good looking, great tasting stick!

"Awesome smoke!!!"

Just opened the box and fired one up and it was one of the best cidars I have tried. I cant really say more than that cause I am new to cigars and only have had a few very nice ones. I will have this one in my humidor at all times though.

"Mild to medium. Great buy!"

Very unique Robusto. Thick ring gauge leads to a slower burn time and clean burn. Very consistent smoke. Nice aged tobacco flavor with leather and toasted nuts as main profile components.

"Nice change of pace"

Other than a little bit of a burn issue, this is a nice cigar. I don't have to relight many, but this petered out about half way through. Burn was good until then, but became very uneven after relight. It's a good solid medium with nice earthy, woodsy flavors. I am always amazed at how many different nuances there are with cigars and trying something new is always exciting. This is one cigar I would definitely smoke again.

"Incredible cigar"

I just read the review from the guy who didn't like these, and I'm surprised by the negative review. You have to be really careful with your expectations when a cigar gets a high rating like these did. The T11's are definitely worthy of their rating. CA hit the nail on the head with this one. Very complex flavor, and the typical qualities that get the top rated cigars their ratings. I was very impressed, smoking both a few from my local store, and with the box I bought from famous-smoke.com as well. If you regularly smoke 94 rated cigars and like them, you will like this one. If you typically think their ratings are bs, don't bother.

"Bad cigar"

I read an impressive review in THE biggest cigar magazine that gave this cigar a rating of 94 so I had to have a box. The first cigar I smoked was ok. The second one I smoked burned very poorly as did the third one. The magazine that rated the cigar said that it had a, "perfect burn and draw". I don't know who the person(s) were that rated this cigar or what they were thinking but they sure missed the mark on this one. As far as the, "rich and dense smoke", described in the magazine goes, I couldn't tell by the way the burn ran down the sides of both the second and third ones I smoked. I had to light up an Ashton ESG just to get rid of the lousy taste this cigar left. I can't even say that I got what I paid for.

"The Best!"

This is my favorite cigar. Always well constructed, great draw, excellent burn. The flavor is sublime! I end up burning my fingers and lips on everyone of these I smoke. Several boxes in I just want more!

"Everything you'd want in a $6.00 smoke."

I'm not usually a big fan of short sticks, but this one's a keeper. Solid throughout, nice toasty flavor and great draw (don't use a punch on this fat boy!), will burn longer than it's 4.5" length suggests. Great little after-dinner smoke, not overpowering - just well made and worthwhile.
