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. less

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. less

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. less

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. less

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! less

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. less

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. less

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! less
