"Must have been a dud"
I got one of these in the Famous medium sampler and was really excited about this smoke after reading all of these reviews. Wow, it was terrible. It just had an overpowering chemical taste. I was really surprised. It looked well constructed (nothing special) and it smelled great after it was lit but something just wasn't right. I gave it about an inch and had to get rid of it. Maybe in a couple of months I will give it another go.

"I was actually impressed."
This is a big dude. I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I lit it up but it was actually pretty darn good. It lasted a long time and the smoke was creamy thick. I like it.

"GREAT BANG FOR THE $$$$$$"
Great cigar. Gobs of heavy smoke, beautiful burn, perfect ash and quite tasty without being over powering. Compares to Romeo Y J Reserva Real for a whole lot less $$$. This cigar is a keeper and my new daily smoke!!

"Good taste, bad construction."
I just got done smoking this one while watching the California Fires in the distance, I thought this would be a good cigar to compliment the view. And I have to say, the taste is good, its got a mild creamy flavor... But the construction is horrid. The wrapper was ripped apart just from taking it out of the humidor. It is easily torn, and the cigar itself is overall constructed poorly. It burns unevenly, the flavor is a little inconsistent, and it can be a pain to smoke due to the poor construction. Its a cheap one, but its not exactly good, I would give it a 6.7/10.

"Nice cigar"
This is a nice cigar considering the price. Its hard to light, and will need to be re-light at least twice but its definitely worth it. It has a distinctive cream taste to it that tastes good, but not great. The taste could be a little more rich but you get what you pay for. Overall, for almost $4 a cigar its a good deal. It burns evenly and the construction is amazing, every cigar in the pack was perfectly constructed, not to mention it looked great.

"Not Bad,Not Great"
Great construction and burn, draw was pretty average. Nice firm ash, but cigar had very little taste or aroma. Way too mild for my taste. Would be good to have around for golf, or poker buddies who can't tell the difference in a good cigar and a mediocre cigar.

"Tastes great"
This one tasted great! I smoked it down to the very end because the flavor was so good! However, the construction leaves alot to be desired. The cap and wrapper unravelled and came apart very easily. It was ugly and a mess to smoke but I will keep trying these due to the flavor. Hope they don't all do this but the few I have had will keep me from buying more if I cant get the wrapper mess to straighten out! Tastes great though!

"Pleasantly surprised !"
I won these at auction...thought I'd take a try on something new. I was pleasantly surprised with what I received. Cigars were fresh and ready to smoke..didn't need to sit in humidor for a few weeks. They burned great and the draw was PERFECT, which I can't always say for some cigars I buy at twice the price. I have added these to my 'watch' list.

"One of the finest"
The golden wrapper gives the appearence of a mild smoke. This Astral is very smooth, however it has great depth in flavor and not a trace of harshness. A creamy flavor and rich clouds of thick smoke. This cigar also builds in flavor as you smoke down this even burning stick. After finishing, I peeled some of the wrapper back revealing a dark maduro binder. I bought 2 boxes, a Beso and a Maestro. These Astrals great morning smokes with french roast coffee.

"A Beautiful Cigar!"
I got this cigar from a sampler pack that I ordered after hearing many comments on it. The aroma was very pleasant. It was mild and never harsh. The construction was fair and seamless. There is but one downside on the cigar. The ash is flakey and does not hold for very long, but above all, it is A Beautiful Cigar!
