"Disappointed"
I got 5 of these in a wise guy deal, and I have to say that after having three, they did not live up to my expectations after reading the positive remarks about the sticks here. The burn was nothing special, the draw and construction were fine, however what I found failed was the taste. All three of the cigars I had began extremely bitter and harsh, leaving a terrible aftertaste which continued into the smoke. Even though the flavor improved, giving off a smooth slightly sweet taste with hints of cocoa at times, the bitterness would occasionally return and again contaminate my palette. It is very unfortunate, I was hoping these would be better. They had potential at times yet failed to deliver.

"Lacking Flavor"
Lit one up with a friend and he nor I were very impressed. The flavor is a large draw back of the cigar and they both went out with 3 inches left to go. Needless to say we did not relight them

"Cruz Real"
Had an extremely bitter taste throughout the whole cigar. I very rarely waste my cigars and toss them. I couldn't even find it in me to give these cigars away. Ended up in the trash.

"A decent smoke"
I got a single in a sampler so can't attest much to consistency from stick to stick. To me, there was nothing horrible about this cigar. As good a burn as some really expensive smokes I have had, draw was fine, and decent tobacco taste. Those are the only things I really care about in any individual cigar. Appearance is meaningless, and if the burn and draw are good, then that to me means the construction is good. Maybe it's just me, but I did not taste any hints of vanilla as others have said. It was more of just an overall toasty tobacco flavor, not filled with tons of complexity like a My Father cigar, but nothing to complain about either.

"not a fan"
I got these with the Old Money sampler. I gave one away to my father because he prefers a natural wrap, generally a lighter cigar. This is indeed more of a medium smoke. As an avid cigar smoker I have to say that these are one of the worst cigars i have smoked- I am more partial to a Maduro, or any nice dark oily leaf in general so it may not be fair; but I am not fan of these. Flavor was not good at all, did tastes hints of vanilla but couldnt wait for this one to be done. I will not be purchasing any of these again.

"Nice cigar for the price"
Nice cigar for everyday smoke. Good uniform ash. Was able to get about an inch of ash before it dropped on its own. Draws rather easy. Very soft cigar to the touch, might mean loosely bound. Upon several draws of the cigar immediately tasted a peppery tingle on the tongue and palate. Rather got used to it as the cigar was smoked. Good average flavor.Not bad for the price.

"Nice!"
Two months in the humidor with the ends of the plastic wrapper snipped off. Slow, even burn. A nice medium strength cigar. I might have never tried this had it not been for the sampler.

"An OK cigar"
I received one of these in a variety pack I ordered. It was an OK cigar. Nothing wrong with it, but I wouldn't order them for myself even for an everyday cigar. Non-offensive but forgettable.
