Santiago Cigars

so-so

got these cheap in an auction... the bundle thus far is so-so.. the first one was very loose and burned almost as fast as a cigarette. twas very dry and tasted like cardboard. the second one, however, was a lot better. definitely not as good as a don kiki red label (one of my personal favorite "cheap smokes"), but it held some promise at least. after about 3 months in the humi, i think these can turn out to be decent "every-day" smokes, although there are much better brands out there for equal price.

THEY ARE OK!

I WASN'T IMPRESSED WHEN I RECEIVED THEM. THEY LOOK GOOD AND HAVE A GOOD DRAW. BUT SO FAR THE ONES I HAVE SMOKED HAVE HAD A BITTERNESS TO THEM. I DO LIKE THE PRINCIPES FROM LA AURORA THOUGH AND I THINK I WILL STICK WITH THEM FOR A CHEAP EVERYDAY SMOKE.

it is what it is

well it's not as "yummy" as the catalog states, (who wrote that? a thirteen year old girl?) But for what they are (cheap) they are a good deal/ and fine tasting -but the quailty can vary-Because I hand out cigars ut every payday at my company (screw the politcaly correct) but keep in mind, the boys won't bitch about these!

EXCELLENT CIGAR & GETS EVEN BETTER WITH AGE!

When I read some of the negative reviews about this cigar, I can only wonder what planet they are from. I've bought at least 8 of these bundles and from the very first Santiago cigar I smoked, I could not believe how excellent it tasted! I prefer Maduro cigars most of the time, but when I tasted the Santiago, I was extremely impressed with its flavor, and I'm not easily impressed! All my Santiago's have burned fairly well and each had a nice firm white ash. With one of my Santiago's, the ash stayed very firm all the way to the band. I haven't had a premium cigar that held together like this cigar. This is a short filler cigar so everyone should keep that in mind. There will be minor inconsistencies from time to time, but the flavor and value of the Santiago out-weigh all that! I hope these never run out. For those of you who want to throw your Santiago's out, call Famous and I will take them off your hands.
