"Save Your Money"
The good news is that I won these on an auction for just a buck. The bad news is that I won that auction. These smokes usually run for about $2.00. In my humble opinion, the are over priced by $1.50. These mild but harsh tasting smokes come from the Dominican Republic and wrapped in a Brazilian Maduro wrapper. They measure 6.75 x 50. They have a great appearance , but the construction is a little subject. I got a long runner that eventually equaled out. The taste improved towards the end, but it was a little to late.

"Nothing Special"
I did not find this cigar to be as strong as a Maduro should be. It is mild with a sweet taste.
The draw is a bit tight and you don't get a lot of smoke.
It would be a good cigar for people who don't care for medium to full bodied cigars.
I ordered the 5 pack Toro at like 8.95 piggy backed on another order. That's 1.20 a styx. They are worth that and maybe a bit more.
It burned well enough but, I had to work a bit to keep it going. Again for a buck and change I cannot complain.
If you like a strong Maduro that draws well with a lot of smoke don't buy this cigar.
If you like a sweet mild flavor with medium draw and smoke then this is for you.
I've smoked one right out of the shipping bag. After the other 4 rest a few weeks in the Humi and if there is any change I'll leave another review.
