"the worst"
Sorry guys,
This has to be the worst cigar I've ever had. My all time favorites are Oliva O and Camacho Corojo. Today I finally finished the last of the Freaks (bought the box over a year ago); the first one was bad and today the last one was equally bad. The wrapper is so thin it just fell off. When it was half finished it resembled what an exploding cigar must look like after detonation. The flavor (what I could get) was very good. Can't blame it on the storage humidor as everything else burns fine and tastes better.

"Crap shoot, but when you're lucky they're great!"
Appearance is very intimidating, but the flavor is unbelieveable. Occasionaly I get one that has an inconsistent burn, but when you're lucky, it's the best smoke in my box. I love em!

"#1 Go to Smoke"
These are hands down the best go to cigar ive had ...I purchase a box each month and usually have one every evening, as far as people saying they burn unevenly...well i would tell them they need to learn how to properly light a good cigar!!

"Only one in four drew and burned satisfactorily."
Only one in four drew consistently well. Burn was very inconsistent.

"Just a couple of puffs, so far, the 61/2 x 54 (?)"
But I agree with the others. THIS is one nice taste. Strong, but not harsh. Tasty but not biting.

"THE FREAK!!"
These cigars are great. Great draw & taste. Give yourself a good hour to enjoy these. They are large and in charge. The FREAK describes these: big and bold.

"Get your Freak on!"
After a long day and night on the job, my crew and I will stand around and debrief our last OP, and usually spark up a cigar (A Victory Dance, as we call them) to celebrate another job well done. We have smoked Cohibas, Rocky Patels line, Drew Estates, CAOs to name just a few and have loved them all, but when the first box of Alec Bradleys Maxx The Freak arrived, we knew things would never be the same. It was a smooth, creamy smoke that had just the right amount of flavor, and aroma. Great construction and burned even with about an inch and a half of ash on average.
If you enjoy a truly superior cigar then all I can say is Get your FREAK on!

"Still looking for my socks after this 9 out of 10"
I love this cigar, my favorite size and strength. Good draw despite some worm holes that caused the burn to run a little. This is definately a cigar that needs a full hour to smoke and can take a strong glass of burbon or scotch to accompany it. I want another box now!

"OUTSTANDING"
A truly exceptional smoke. I'm already back for another box. Very well constructed, great taste as well.
