I have smoked a few of these, and they confuse me. Some of them have been excellent- easy draw, solid build, good aroma, good taste, etc. I have had a couple in my group that taste like asphalt(?). I think if you discard the bad ones, the good ones make it worth it. I do like the comparision to the oliva g series, but I think the g series is a better cigar. less

I got my first as part of a RP sampler and was a little put off that it wasn't an RP band. The draw was good but the burn was uneven and needed correction. It went out entirely at about the midpoint, but dispite this I found it to be a very tasty and satisfying smoke. I have aged a box of them in my humidor and found that after 6 months or so of additional aging, they became a formidible smoke and I strongly reccomend putting some aside for a bit. A very good smoke, lots of leather and nutty flavors with a good finish. Don't let the uneven burn or relights put you off. This is a very tasty cigar. less

I have had these cigars in the humi for about a year (maduro version) and they have turned into somthing great, not that they wern't good already. Good draw, aroma and the taste was even
better than I remember. If you can give them some time you will not be disapointed. less

I'm surprised at all the bad reviews. I don't know which vitola these guys are smoking but I've smoked over a dozen of the Toro Maduro Super Fuerte's (box pressed) and I have had perfect draw and good burn on every single one. The draw is comparable to Padron's - never tight, ever! The burn can get uneven but what's so hard about evening it out with your lighter?
All that aside the flavor is excellent. Yeah, it's not the most complex cigar... you won't get leather, earth, cinnamon, and madagascar vanilla LOL. The flavor is a light sweetness of chocolate with that great nicaraguan taste as the underlying strength. Personally, I love this cigar and they only cost me $2 a stick. I'm buying boxes of these now :-) less

I LOVE Maduros and this is one of my all time favorites. I've been smoking these for 4 years and have found the construction and flavor to be consistent and much more than what you'd expect from a cigar at this price. I'm a RP fan and this is one darn good smoke. less

This is a great cigar & the price makes it even better! A thick dense smoke with a nice chocolaty, nutty flavor and a smooth enjoyable finish with a hint of spicyness. Though it's a box press it still draws well, and construction & burn are perfect. I like these better than most of Rocky's 1st line stuff. They will be a staple in my humidor. less

Yeah, you read it right. I've been smoking these for YEARS and never get tired of them. I don't like most RP cigars. Don't like the 90/92, OWR, Sun Grown...but the ITSF robusto is in my top 10 all time favorite cigars. Strong but smooth, amazing flavor and aroma. The *only* gripe I have is that they will burn funny unless kept in the low 60s humidity for a few months prior to smoking. less
