"Great If You Want A Longer Smoke"
I love the Overture Robustos but if you have a little more smoking time these are a great smoke. All the flavours of the Robusto but more smoking time. Perfect

"A Definite Maybe"
I tried this cigar as part of a sampler. Upon lighting, I was pleased with the initial draw, flavor, and burn of this cigar. As the cigar continued, it remained very consistent until the final third. This, to me, is the big test of all cigars. Too many cigar lose me in the final act. This cigar seemed to change completely. What I had enjoyed during the 1st two thirds totally went away in the final third and I put it out a little early. This is why I gave poor marks for taste and consistency. I'm tempted to try another one and let it age a little while... but if a second try turns out like the first... I'd pass on the Overture in the future.

"Keep your money"
I must say that this was the worst box of upscale cigars to date. The only reason I purchased this was because the Man O Wars were were out of stock. The rep praised the price and maker of this brand. I have smoked the tempus. It was a much better smoke. Only two cigars out of a box held a decent burn. I had to light it every five minutes. Also it had an annoying smell as it burned. I would not recommend nor purchase another box.

"aging improved this one"
Had one when I just got them in the first week and it was so-so. Now about 1.5 months later I had one again, and it was actually very nice. I smoked this in 48F weather outside under a heatlamp. It may have been a tad moist in my humidor (71 - 72), but still had a good draw. Only started canoeing after an inch and then after half into it it was ok. Tasted some sweet flavors and some spicyness but overall not bad. From time to time I could tell it was AB quality. Sometimes puffing too much would make it really harsh, but overall I enjoyed it.
I would compare it to the SCR. I mostly like to smoke sweet cigars like RP, but this one was good as well. I am glad I bought them but I would probably not buy it again when I am through with my 5-pack, bc I like other cigars better.
Read the reviews but if you don't buy it bc of the reviews you may miss out on siomething you like. I always like to try for myself, so don't take my word for it, try it for yourself, because you'll be glad you did.
