"Surprisingly good for the price"
My tobacconist turned my on to these massive smokes. I was extremely surprised how smooth the smoke was even at toward end.

"Must-try cigar"
This is a majestic cigar, one worth investing 2 hours on. I couldn't wait when they got to the door and lit one up. It ran and did the canoe thing and I was very disappointed. The rest in the humidor did these sticks justice. Every one I have had since was a pleasurable experience. If you are a fan of full flavor then give these a try. Just give them some seasoning time.

"a disappointment"
I took the bait and bought a box of the EGO's. It didnt take long after the light up that the weakness of this cigar manifested. The burn was uneven and then the wrapper began to unfold! I ended up dishing it about half way. The flavor was good but the construction made this cigar a disappointment. After smoking two it appears the construction is a problem with the presidente line. I can only hope that the rest will be better

"Great aroma but really poor burn."
I bought the MAXX Ego in hopes of finding a cigar that is better than my usual smoke, a Punch After Dinner Maduro. the Ego is a great smelling cigar with an exceptional taste; however, it is nowhere near the cigar I envisioned. I moved to the Ego in hopes of finding a cigar superior to the Punch After Dinner Maduro but found that while the Ego smelled better than the Punch, the taste and burn were far inferior. For the price of a full bodied cigar I cannot recommend the Ego. The taste is good but not exceptional and the burn is substandard. Rough ash and an even worse burn make the Ego a surprising disappointment.

"TAKE YOUR TIME, YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE"
I have about a 1 hour drive from home to work. I fired up one of those broom sticks Ego's the other morning when I left the house. You almost need a trash can for an ashtray in your vehicle. That bad boy is quite a smoke. Not only is it a bold cigar, it will get you fired up shortly after lighting. The only problem I have it's not for a short commute. I was almost going to cry simply because I got to work and still had half the stick left. This is a cigar you want to enjoy over a long stretch. I plan on ordering more just to keep my neighbors in line. Thanks Famous for making this available.
