I tried Andros last July and was "absolutely blown away by this unknown" as I previously wrote.

Then, being as stubborn as I am, I figured that I would be limiting myself if I didn't taste the whole world of cigars. So I tried a few others, namely:

ACID-- ALCAZAR-- ARTURO FUENTE-- ARTURO FUENTE GRAN RESERVE-- ASHTON-- BACCARAT-- BAHIA GOLD-- BAHIA TRINIDAD-- BANCES-- BERING-- BERING HALLMARK-- BIG BUTT-- BLACK BEAR-- CALIXTO LOPEZ-- CAMACHO-- CAO-- CARBONELL-- CARLOS TORANO-- COHIBA-- CORDOVA-- CORTESIA-- CUESTA REY-- CUSANO-- DAVIDOFF GENEVA-- DAVIDOFF ZINO-- DE COSSIO-- DIAMOND CROWN-- DON JOSE-- DON JUAN-- DON TOMAS-- DON TOMAS INTERNATIONAL-- DON LUIS-- EL CREDITO-- EL REY DEL MUNDO-- EL SARARE-- FLOR DE OLIVA-- FONSECA-- GRAND NICA-- HENRY CLAY-- HOJO CUBANA-- HOYO DE MONTERREY-- HOYO DE MONTERREY EXCALIBUR-- HUMBERTO MENDOZA-- JOYA DE NICARAGUA-- LA AURORA-- LA FINCA-- LA FLOR DOMINICANA-- LA GLORIA CUBANA-- LA UNICA-- LAS CABRILLAS-- LEON JIMENES-- LICENCIADOS-- LITTLE CIGAR COMPANY-- MACANUDO-- MONTESINO-- ONYX-- PADRON-- PARTAGAS-- PUNCH-- PUROS INDIOS-- QUINTERO-- RAMONDO-- ROLY-- ROMEO Y JULIETA-- ROSA CUBA-- ROSEDALE-- SAINT LUIS REY-- SAN JOSE-- SANTA ROSA-- SPORTSMAN'S RESERVE-- TAMBORIL-- TE-AMO-- TESORO-- VEGA FINA-- VILLA-- VUELTABAJO-- 5 VEGAS----some very good, some downright aweful.

Funny, I found there was one thing they all had in common. I compared each one to Andros, and on a combined scale of taste, construction, draw, (and don't forget) price, they all fell short.

Aficionados and the like may say I'm not the most learned of connoisseurs, but hey, give me an Andros and "tell me again about the rabbits, George."

Took me a while to get on the Andros bandwagon after a friend swore by them. Consistancy is king with me, but these are consistant with regard to every basic cigar quality (appearance, draw, feel, burn, flavor). As Tom says, "they're not just a great $2 cigar, they're a GREAT cigar PERIOD!" These are a no-brainer, if you like great maduro taste... enjoy. less

Very consistant through the whole box with a relaxing smooth taste and easy draw. Definately will buy again. less

Just moving east from Illinois I was in a turmoil to locate a good source for my everyday Churchill Maduro. Lucky for me I heard your ad. on THE HAWK 99.9, and was pointed to this website and cigar nirvana! Just smoked my first Andros, and have to agree, it is a great everday smoke for the money! The burn was consistent from start to finish, and the draw and flavor rival anything else I have smoked in a similar price range! Look forward to doing business with you folks for a long time, keep up the good work! less

I've been a cigar smoker for a short time. However, I have tried a variety of cigars and created a catelog of them all. I found that my favorite is the Ashton Aged Maduro. So I desparately needed to find an "everyday" stick. I read the reviews of the Andros Maduro; ordered a bundle and held my breath. I was pleasantly suprised. The order was received in a timely fashion and arrived in perfect condition. I'm currently enjoying a stick as I write this review. I have an Andros Maduro each night with a Maker's Mark Bourbon on ice. Keep the quality and price at this level and I'm a customer for life!! less

I tried the Andros lonsdale and the Andros Churchill and I don't hate them. I have never had much luck trying bundles untill now. After reading the reviews, I was curious, so when they went on sale I purchased two bundles of churchills and one bundle of the lonsdales. I figgured that it was right before Christmas, and if they weren't as good as everyone said, I would give them to my buddies that think White Owls and Swisher-sweets are a good cigar, as a gift. I only gave away the Lonsdales; I kept the Churchills for myself. ( I did give a few away to special friends) Everyone loved them! I usually smoke Partagas, and Fuentes, but the wind kills them when I am outside, so Andros is now my "outside" cigar. I bought another 50 cigar humidor just for my Andros Churchills. less

Just got a bundle of thes cigars and they are outstanding. Great construction, easy draw, great taste and consistent quality. Better than many cigars at twice the price and up. This cigar is a superb value at the price. less

Ordered a bundle back in November, smoked a couple when my order came and just smoked a few last week after laying them down the past 3 months. Nothing special about these stogies, taste and burn are ok, the wrappers are really rough looking, smoke volume isn't what i expect from a churchill cigar. I reckon the Flow de Oliva are much better value for your money less

These are great maduros that are tasty without overpowering you. The wrappers usually have some minor defects but so what? At these prices this is a keeper. less

I got a bundle of these cigars in an auction, but I had a bundle of them before(Maduro-Corona, about a year ago). I was really impressed with the first bundle, so I was happy to win the other bundle. Yes, they look "ugly". The wrapper is very rough with noticable veins and as for being maduros, they are not oily at all. My biggest complaint with these cigars is the draw. ANDROS all seem to have medium to tight draws with a few that are almost impossible to draw. As for flavor, they have a nice mild flavor with just a hint of sweetness. The coronas had a "chocolately" flavor but the churchills had an "earthy" flavor. As for construction and burn, it's a nice solid cigar with some uneven burning but nothing to complain about. I like these cigars and would recommend to someone to get a couple of singles or a sampler to give them a try. less
