Gasoline

Looking for something that tasted like tobacco leaves instead of "cream" and "chocolate", etc., I picked one of these up to test before buying a box. $5.75 at the local store [famous would of course have had my box order]. I stuck with this thing until the nub, which is not very long with this perfecto, and at first I did appreciate the "different" taste. After trying to think the best of this cigar I finally had to admit that it wasn't complex or anything like some good but atypical quality, it just tasted bad. Obviously, I don't normally go for the non-tobacco adjectives to describe a cigar, however I'm compelled to use one now - gasoline. That was the unique flavor of this cigar. Maybe I got a bad one, but even my wife noticed the smell on my fingers and asked me to wash my hands. Since I'm posting a review, I'll try another one from a different store and if it's different then I'll post a more positive followup. I hope my mileage varies.

Wonderful Smoke

Great smoke. Medium to full in my book. I'm a big fan of both the O and G lines. Nice flavor, good burn and draw all around. Never had any problems.

Crumbly wrapper

I ordered a box of 20 of these to try and I was sadly disappointed. The draw was good, and the taste was also quite nice but without fail every sinlge one of the cigars had a crack or several in the wrapper. This made every cigar look like trash and most of them unraveled or cracked further when smoked.

BAD BAD WRAPPER !!!!!

They ran out of the 6x60 V series so I thought I would give these a try. So far one of them was cracked in half in the box , one of the wrappers cracked off half way during the second smoke and i see the wrapper of another one with a crack in it . I dont think these are any good ..I will wait for the V series 6x60 to come back ..
