Very smooth, enjoyable smoke

I have to agree with Tabac Mack when he said "The aroma had a heady, rich smell of fresh cut cedar. There was a very nice full bodied flavor without a trace of harshness. The finish was tart with notes of wet freshly tooled leather." That statement about the finish is dead on, and I smoked every one of these down to the nub. Excellent mild but full taste, easy draw and tons of thick smoke make this a favorite. I recommend at least trying a five pack.

Moocho Buenos Tabaccos

I won this box in the auction and took a chance because I never smoked them before. I went solely on the appearance in the picture and the reviews of others. Well let me say that I am glad I got them. I had to smoke a couple of sticks to put my finger on the taste, and I came to the conclusion that it is a cross between RC Cola and fine chocolate. DELICIOUS !! The claim that it is the" True Natural Maduro", well....it's definitely not like any maduro I have ever tasted, but....it is absolutely delicious. And the burn, draw and consistancy are all excellant. I give it a 9. I will be buying more. Highly recommended to all serious cigar smokers.

A Sweet Full Bodied Smoke!

Excellent cigar! I happened to get a 5 pack, and now I'm ordering a box. Consistent burn, nice white ashe, good draw, and well constructed. What did it for me was the sweetness of the smoke, it reminded me of Cabanas. Full bodied and sweet...very easy on the tongue! Highly recommended!

As an Astral fan, I was unimpressed

I am a fan of the Astral Talanga Valley Selection, as well as other Astral cigars. Of all the Talanga Valley sizes, the Churchill to me was a disappointment. Compared to the the Toro and the Pyramid, the construction is inconsistent and the burn uneven about 75% of the time. Don't get me wrong...these are tasty, but the just don't measure up to the usual Astral quality I'm used to. I advise ordering a different size/shape if you are picky about your cigars.

Excellent all around smoke

The Talanga Valley Toro was a great smoke. It draws very easily. Has a very good construction. It tastes awesome. This has become one of my favorites. I always keep a box in my humidor. Great deal on the auction page.
