"yippi hi aye"
spicey, flavor, color, texture, great smoke, cool and smooth all the way to where I needed a blunt clip to smoke it. An awesome cigar. Only gripe is a bit of wrapper came undone close to the tip.
The girlfriend rating... wow smells good, I wanna try it!

"Inconsistent construction/bad draw on half"
I am an experienced (10 years) cigar smoker and have bought hundreds of boxes of cigars over the years - including Cuban cigars.
I would not buy these again. Easily half of the smokes in the box I received were badly rolled, resulting in obvious tight spots along the length that made the draw so restricted that the cigar couldn't be smoked.
Sometimes I was able to cut off the offending portion and smoke what was left. Often I just tossed the thing.
These smokes are VERY reminiscent of Famous's La Floridita smokes I've had in both draw and taste ... I suspect they are from the same factory and are just packaged differently.

"Good smoke, good value"
Very enjoyable. The draw, burn and taste stayed consistent throughout the smoke.

"HOW IT PROGRESSED"
BOUGHT A BOX IN OCT. '08. THE FIRST ONE TASTED LIKE 'TABASCO SAUCE' I KEPT THEM IN ONE OF MY HUMIDORS TILL 12 FEB '09. WHAT S DIFFERENCE! THEY MELLOWED TO A SMOOTH MADURO WITH JUST A HINT OF SPICE AND ARE NOW VERY ENJOYABLE. GIVE THEM A LITTLE TIME TO REST AND YOU'LL SEE.

"Pretty good for the price"
These have been in the humidor for about a month bought from Cigar Monster for a great price. Starts off with a strong leathery taste, but the cigar slowly became more complex throughout the smoke. In the back half the leather taste calmed down and gave way to hints of chocolate and cream. I had to straighten out the burn a couple times and relight twice. The wrapper started to splinter a bit towards the end, but all in all I'd say it was a pretty good smoke for the price. If the construction was a little better I would call this a great cigar.

"Great tasty smoke!! Can't wait to have another"
Bought a box of these on cigarmonster and was a little skeptical. The 1st one was delicious! Nice maduro wrapper. Haven't had another one yet but cant wait.

"Decent!"
The description of these was scary but intriguing. When the price was right, I bit. Glad I did. Not as spicy as a Camacho or a CAO Brasilia or even as described but instead, a medium to full body and flavor with a great aroma. Reminded me most of a less intense Partagas Black or a more intense La Finca. If you can find it for a good price, BUY!!!

"My go to daily smoke!"
I cant say enough good things about this cigar. It is my daily smoke. I love to just kick back with a few beers and enjoy this creamy, earthy smoke. Perfect draw, and excellent consistancy. My only problem is that I didnt buy enough of them when FSS was running the buy one get one special!!! Cant wait until they decide to do it again. I will definitely be picking up 10 boxes of these gems!

"An OK Cigar out of the box."
The draw is tight, not the worst Ive had, but hard. This is a medium cigar with pepper flavors. The name may be to strong for the cigar. The flavor gets better and stronger as is burns down. Well constructed and does hold a good ash. Ill let them age in the humidor for a few and check them again.

"Nice... Can't wait to see what some time will do.."
Got some of these in a split and couldn't wait to try one. These are some beautiful cigars which produce some nice ash and great aroma. The only problem I had with it was a slightly tight draw. I've heard with a few months of sitting in the humi they only improve. I may have a problem letting the ones I have age :)
