I ran into these as part of a La Aurora sampler I purchased on the Internet. In order to understand my perspective on cigars, I like to smoke strong cigars, with Fuente Opus X, Anejo and Don Carlos as my favorites. My usual (affordable) cigar is a Fuente Sungrown. Like another reviewer mentioned, the similarities between this cigar and an Opus X will blow your mind. The taste was superb right down to the nub, and the burn time was an hour or more for a five inch cigar. While I did have to relight this twice, but it burned evenly to the end, and the draw was excellent. This is the perfect combination of strength and that Dominican creamy flavor that most Fuente smokers crave. Best of all, this cigar is less than five bucks -- a real bargain. Let's hope Cigar Aficionado does not discover these as they are sure to disappear off the shelf as soon as everyone else tries them. less

The moment I lit it, it reminded me of the Opus X. Powerful smoke almost overwheling at first (especially because I wasnt ready for it) but then settled down to nice heck of a cigar. I had to re-light it once. It stopped dead about a quarter way through. but picked up where it left off for the remaining 3 quarters. wow! less

I was excited to try this stick it came as part of a 5 cigar sampler Lucky me this was the first one I grabbed, it started ok with nice draw. But as it want along numerous construction flaws became apparent. It has a spicy taste that seems to get more pronounced as it goes along I gave up after about half in the 5 sampler I bought this stick was the mid-stick with 2 being rated higher by famous smokers and 2 rated lower I fear the 2 lower rated sticks
. And I am not that excited about the 2 higher ones any longer. less

The rare African filler leaf must have been on by some zebras. This cigar has a distinct flavor that me reminds me of horse stables. less

I didnt think I was a lightweight until i smoked one of these before food. They are more strength than flavour so perhaps need more humidor time and feeding intra venously. less

Yes the band is cool. The contruction was very good. It burned with just a slight run. My bad, I smoked it as soon as it arrived. I liked it. less

Thought is was a solid, good smoke. If you like to attack your cigar and not baby it, you will like the Kuro. If you want it to be to be mellow, this is not for you. less
