"Mellowed a lot in my humidor...."
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Corona
This is a followup to my first review...I like this cigar, but found that that the bite on the tongue on the first bundle was too harsh for my taste. I've got to add that they mellow up considerable in my humidor without losing the aroma or flavor that I enjoy. If you can wait a month or two, this mellows up to be a heck of a bargain---a premium tasting cigar at not much more then a drug store price!

"Lot to like, but too harsh..."
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Toro
I had high hopes for this bundle...and there is a lot to like about this cigar. I love the old-fashioned sweetened tip, and the clouds of aromatic smoke. It's got a nice even burn. It is a quality construction. And the price is right! But the bite on your tongue that this cigar just is too harsh. A month in my humidor didn't mellow it enough for me. But as much as I like the construction, burn and aromatic qualities of this cigar, I won't be buying another one and I can't recommend it. Sadly.

"Nice flavor--But"
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Toro
Nice flavor, but the cigars were soft and "mushy" and came apart. Time in the humi didn't seem to help at all.

"A Decent Smoke"
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Presidente
Not quite as good as the regular Baccarat "The Game" but they're close enough. These aren't quite as sweet as those plus they have a bit more of a bite which tends to mellow with a bit of sleep in the humi. Also like the original, I don't consider these "mild", they're more of a medium, particularly as you get to the halfway point. Keep in mind though that for an average of $30 per bundle you are getting a nice medium bodied Camacho for the yard or for the first smoke of the day. Not bad at all.

"Decent smoke and price"
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Corona
Decent smoke and price. The Baccarat Sumatra Presidente burns slightly uneven with delicate construction but the draw is nice from start to finish though.
The cigar starts off like an Acid 1400cc---sweet---and then slightly gives way to hints of chocolate with a coffee/hazelnut finish.

"Quality Bundle"
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Double Corona
Best bundle from FSS to date. Great with coffee or by itself. If you are looking for a sensational "everyday" cigar, this is the one for you. Taste, aroma and draw were pleasing as was the price.

"What a bargain!"
Baccarat Sumatra 1997 Presidente
I ordered these from a Cigar Monster special and got 25 for 18 bucks. They aren't pretty. They don't always burn straight(but not that bad)However, they taste great and always a good draw. A great morning smoke with some coffee. Seriously, these are a flavor bomb without nicotine overdose.

A very good cigar for the price. A very mild and sweet cigar. A few burnt a little uneven. The only complaint is the wrapper - they're a little too fragile for me and easily crack and come loose.
