This is definitely one of the best smokes for the money sold on this website. A richly flavored, full body cigar. Sit back and relax while smoking this hand crafted cigar. I liked it so much I had to start ordering boxes.

I purchased the 5 pack of these cigars while they were on sale. When I received them I was impressed with the construction and appearance of the cigar. Today I was excited to try them after they had sat in my humi for a couple weeks. The cigar draws extremely well and lights very nicely. Even though I lit the cigar somewhat unevenly (it's windy today) the cigar immediately corrected itself and burned as even as a cigar can. The taste is good but certainly not my favorite. I have smoked less expensive cigars that aren't as pretty to look at or constructed as well that I prefer over this cigar. For what I paid, I'm certainly satisfied with my purchase, but for full price, I would make sure I tried a 5 pack before I purchased a box. Just my .02
Note: A highly rated cigar doesn't necessarily taste/smoke better than a cigar rated lower than it, it might just be nicer to look at.

I got a 5 pack of these as part of a promotion - I found them a bit better than the Perfecto in this 'series' - the taste was full but not bitter right down to the end.

...in many ways. This was my first excursion into a different style of cigar, the Perfecto. The look of the cigar was very nice - dark, light veining and a pleasant aroma. I wondered how the burn rate would be and was surprised that it was about the same as a robusto. The start was a bit harsh but then it settled out nicely to almost a sweet note. My non cigar smoking friends didn't mind the smell. A nice addition to my collection.

I usually smoke Padron but like maduro so I tried these. Big mistake. The taste is bitter and unpleasant. Not what I expected. The construction was ok but when the taste is offensive one cant enjoy. Needless to say I won't be buying these again!

I just spent a week in Costa Rica and discovered that I REALLY love cigars. Yes, I was smoking Cubans, and yes, so far they are untouchable, though there were some really nice Costa Ricans too. On my return, I immediately found a cigar shop to get a humidor as I did manage to bring back a box of 25 Cohibas and, not being a cigar smoker before a week ago, I had nothing to store them in. While these don't come close to the Cubans, I thoroughly enjoyed the first one right out of the package. While still learning how to rate a cigar properly, I would say that the rating on this one is deserved. Now to season them a bit before trying another! I've found that I like Maduro wrappers and figurado shapes so am currently concentrating on cigars that fit that description. Thanks to the rating system here I was able to find something that wasn't going to immediately turn me off to cigars. So the journey begins with a great start on a cigar that I can get more of!

I purchased a maduro collection. This stood out. Construction, consistent burn and flavor...incredible. That great leather taste from start to finish, not the usual peppery taste at the initial light. Never had to re light or correct any type of canoeing. I had the same ash from start to finish...a perfect stick. I will be buying a box soon. After 20 years of cigar smoking this stick is right at the top of my list.
