Good taste, disappointing burn

This cigar looks and smells great.
With a price like this, its hard to pass up.
My big complaint against the stick is that the burn/draw is irregular; one side light up like a forest fire, the other puttered out, leaving me with a mis-shapen, odd looking smoke.
The taste was good. I typically smoke a full-bodied, but this 'medium' held its own.
I would buy the bundle again, if they can resolve the burn/draw issue.

Novice Smoker

Good Cigar. Not great, but good. I prefer a sweeter tasting cigar, but even though this has a more traditional taste it is very smooth and is a good smoke for the price. I find the longer they sit in my humidor the better they are.

Not the best

I have to say they were a little disapointing. They didn't burn too well, they were harsh and had very little aroma.

EARLY RELEASE

CALL ME "SPOILED ROTTEN" BUT I MUST SAY I WAS A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED BY THE 4000'S. FIRST OF ALL....NO BANDS! I KNOW....WHAAAAAAA!!!!! BUT IT WAS THE TASTE THAT WAS SO UNCHARACTERISTIC OF YOUR FAMOUS NICARAGUAN LINE. IT TASTED VERY BITTER, SIMILAR TO THAT OF QUININE. MAYBE THE RELEASE OF THESE PURO'S WAS TOO EARLY. THEY MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO AGE. WITH THAT BEING SAID OTHER MANUFACTURERS BEST CIGARS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS YOUR WORST CIGARS. YOU FOLKS DO A GREAT JOB. THANKS....BRUCE

Long Burn

This Cigar definitely has a long burn. However they kept my humidor dry. I removed them and the Humidity in the Humidor rose back to the correct level. They are a little harsh and have a deffinate "Bite" that may or may not be such a good thing.

A good cigar at a very reasonable price

I've worked through two bundles and have been pleasantly surprised. These are a good buy! They're tasty, they burn nice and slow (and even), and the construction is pretty good considering the price. The wrappers are a bit rough and they don't stand out as "lookers" but they taste good (woodsy, a bit of cedar, just a good every-day cigar) and smoke easy. A few have had construction problems (wrappers fell apart, etc), but I will buy these again. I see them as a good way to stretch my cigar budget.
