my friend and i went cigar shopping and it was the first thing i saw, so i figured id try it. not disappointed at all, great buy for $2.10. the taste was amazing and it wasn't harsh at all, only problem was that it kinda fell apart when i was halfway done

The Diplomatico maduro is a good value cigar, tastes good, burns well, well constructed and well priced. True to the Fuente family tradition of quality cigars.

First let me say, Im fairly new as a cigar smoker (less than 1 year), now I picked up a bundle of these and found them a little inconsistent. I equate these with my ROLY #2, which did not live up to my expectations per reviews. First, love them, they are not very attractive to look at, the picture is to good for them, the burn is a little uneven at times. I've found that they do mellow out some after I put them in the humidor for 3 weeks. So as an amateur I would say, they are cheap and could be an ok smoke if your not looking for excellences. Would I purchase these again, (YES), if I plan to put them way for 3-6 weeks before smoking them. If your not will to do that don't waste your time. They seem to be to unpredictable for the short hall. For the long haul a cheap investment but nothing special! By the way, they will not impress your friends, so don't go there!

I was very disapointed with these cigars, especially since they carry the Montesino brand. They burn badly, need to be relit constantly, and are a very loose wrap. I will not reorder.

I've smoked both the natural and the maduro in the Toro size and they are the most consistent cigars I've smoked. They don't have knock your socks off premium taste, but to me they deliver a solid mild-medium, straight-forward tobacco flavor that I relly enjoy. The draw and burn are as close to perfect as a cigar can get. Well constructed, I've never had to re-touch my lighter to the cigar after the initial light. For the price, I'm not sure you can find a better performer; taste, burn, draw, & consistency. I've found in our cigar club that this smoke stands up equally in ratings to the Fuente's, Ashton's, and Padron's for a third or fourth of the price. Beginners and experieced smokers will both enjoy this smoke. You can't go wrong with this cigar; Natural or Maduro.
