Artisan Nicaraguan Connecticut Robusto

"Pretty nice smoke"

Won these in an auction and they are quite nice. Somewhat mild tobacco flavor. Not a rich earthy tobacco flavor but still rather nice. The construction was really nice but band wound up pulling a small chunk of wrapper with it. I'd recommend these to someone whom likes to infuse cigars with some quality hooch. Draw was perfect. Burn as well. I just wish the flavor had a bit more to it. 85 is my rating.

"I was hesitant, but very glad I bought a box!"

I wasnt sure how this cigar would be, but thought I would give it a try based on other reviews. I'm VERY pleased with it and will keep a drawer in my humidor fill with them. Burn and draw were excellent. Taste was good. For the price, this cigar can't be beat. If anyone knows a cigar at this price as good or better, please let me know! I do agree with other reviewers, however, that it is more mild than the description states.

"a bit bitter"

A beautiful stick, with a nice, even burn, but the flavor just wasn't there. Bitter all the way through - even after 6 months in the humi...

"Great taste, bad construction"

Received two of these in a sampler pack. Tried the first one a couple days after receiving it, taste was very good, especially for the price but the draw went from difficult to impossible. Ended up cutting about an inch off to get it to draw at all, it also burned very irregularly, requiring constant touch-ups. Waited a week on the 2nd one, it burned slightly better but still had a very difficult draw.

"An Excellent Cigar"

This is a better cigar than the price indicates. Great construction, great draw and razor sharp burn. Very pleasing flavors of nuts and cream. A very enjoyable experience. Bought a fiver to try and will be buying a box.......Mike

"Enjoyable, but..."

These make for a nice affordable morning smoke to go with a cup of coffee. They are, however, not "full-bodied" in the least. Low medium at best. One major complaint I have with them is the overuse of glue on the bands (why have two separate bands pushed together in the first place?)which tends to wreck the delicate wrapper.

"Not bad"

Draw construction and and burn were very good. Flavor not quit there. A good smoke for the price if you can catch these on sale

"Some Good"

Smoked half a box, with some good sticks and some not so good. The best sticks have good spices and dark chocolate flavors, the bad sticks have wrappers that fall apart and taste like artificial chocolate.

"Great smoke for a good price"

Just finished one after a long hot day. Great evening smoke, not too strong, not weak. Well constructed, tasty stick.

"Very nice"

This is the first one I have smoked from a recently purchased test flight. This has got to be one of the most attractive cigars I have ever had. Its appearance was flawless and the taste was great. My only complaint: it seemed just a bit too mild for me.
