Where to begin??? The construction was mediocre at best. This looks like a machine rolled stick. At least 3 large veins, horrible seems, and a squishy spot at the head that made cutting difficult, and the band was glued to the wrapper. It's supposed to be a maduro, but doesn't look, smell, or taste like a maduro. Prelight flavor was bland and dusty and the draw was very light. Burn was acceptable until the ash dropped the first time, at a little over an inch, then went lopsided and tunneled. This was the only cigar I've ever seen that tunneled in 2 spots at the same time. Flavor remained bland and dusty with a strong ammonia flavor and was extremely harsh on the retrohale. This would have been about an hour smoke for me IF I could have suffered through it. I tried purging several times, but it didn't help, only made the cigar do an impression of a 4th of July sparkler (never had that happen before). After 30 minutes I couldn't take any more. The only other one from the 20 under $20 sampler that has been this bad so far was the Imperial. less

I received a couple of these in a variety pack and I was pleasantly surprised. Nice smoke for the money. less

This cigar was a spring board for what could have been. The draw is for what I look for in a cigar but the construction was lack luster. I could see the adhesive on the wraper... the same wraper that came apart when three-quarters of the cigar was done. Still, it wasn't a bad cigar but not a good one. less

A decent mild cigar for the cheap price. Not as good as a montecristo by any means but compares somewhat. less

I was very pleased by this cigar, especially at this price point. Smooth and creamy with woody undertones. Burned nicely with a nearly snow white ash and provided plenty of smoke. All in all a very pleasant surprise. Oh, and Rod...have you ever heard of a thing called a humidor? less
