I see potential...

I got one of these in a sampler. I loved it! So I bought a box and let them sit in my humidor for a week. Once I broke them out, I'd smoke about two a week. Every one tasted great. But I won't order them again until I hear they've fixed some issues. Only one third would burn consistently. I really enjoyed those ones. Unfortunately, two out of three would tunnel, canoe or crack the wrapper badly. I loved the good ones. But I can't recomend them at this time.

Rich, Powerful, and Smooth

Trying a 5-pack which just arrived today. What a great new cigar this is! Rich and powerful tobaccos aged to mellow smoothness. No trace of bitterness or harshness. Very full body of wood, leather, and earth masterfully blended. Easy draw with huge volume of smoke. Nice oily wrapper, can crack if smoked too quickly.

Very impressive right off the UPS truck

I couldn't help myself and I tried a Cruz Real Sumatra robusto right off the UPS truck. Very nice... Perfect burn, tasty, and a fine looking wrapper. I got a little taste of Rocky's Vintage 1992 in the first inch, probably due to the common wrapper. I smoked it past the band without any bitterness. I'd call the Cruz Real robusto closer to medium than full, but I smoked an RP Edge about an hour before which could have biased my palate. I'll let the others sleep for a month or two and report back.

Taste Not Bad at All but Inconsistant Construction

Very inconsistant construction, Flavor fairly good. Have smoked five - 1st would not stay lit, 2nd started ok then tunneled about 2 inches then would not stay lit, 3rd & 4th smoked well start to finish. 5th smoked well for about 1 inch then started tunneling after that would not stay lit gave up and threw it away. I would not mind trying the Churchill to see if they are more consistant in construction. Will not buy Lonsdale again!! They look great on the outside but the inside seems to be a roll of the dice. Will she smoke or will she not!

Great cigar

Awesome draw taste and burn. This cigar is the best medium bodied cigar i have had to date. With a flawless draw that produces ample amounts of smoke every puff, you cant go wrong. This cigar produces a medium strength yet full flavored cigar packed with sweet leathery flavors with a bittersweet coffee and caramel undertone towards the end of the cigar. Awesome smoke!!!! and worth every penny. Reminds me of a better excalibur epicure maduro
