"Great smoke from start to finish"

Nice initial light and first draw not very strong, smooth would be the best description. This is a great smoke from start to finish with an even burn throughout. Nice white ash. Thes econd smoke was just as good. Both were a bit soft but did not burn poory. A good value

"Really Enjoy Them"

I received 2 of these in the best of Maduro sampler. A buddy and I smoked them over a few games of pool and we both thought they were very good. I have bought a box and am very glad that I did. They are a better cigar than the cost! I have smoked a total of 5 of them now and ever single one has had a perfect draw and perfect burn. Before you light they are pretty soft, which turns me off a bit but the draw is always just right. Taste is great, ash is grayish white, very consistent with a small change in flavor as the cigar burns. Smoke them down to under an 2 inches every time. Highly recommended. Found that they do better after sitting in the humidor for a few weeks. Perfect after one month.

Flor De Gonzalez Selection Lonsdale

"Long burn, mild flavor, have with a drink."

I typically don't care for Lonsdale size but got good deal on auction. Construction was quite good because burn was very long and even with a nice draw. Taste was pretty mild but flavor itself was pleasant enough (a little leather on pre-draw, coffee, toast), nothing harsh about it. A good cigar to complement a cup of coffee (morning or afternoon) or maybe a nice rum or cognac (evening). By itself, the cigar is kind of a weak experience, not a bad one, but so much better when paired with a nice drink.

"Great price for a good cigar"

first third mellow tasty and mild. second third slightly harch so I ate a peice of choclat. Guess what? no more harshnes and very tasty. Last third medium, tasty and I smoked it to the nub. Great value. Someone once told me that the difference between a $5 cigar and a $10 dollar cigar is five dollars.

Flor De Gonzalez Selection Corona

"((( JUST O.K. )))"

The Flor De Gonzalez Selection Corona, sports a nice cinnamon colored, velvety smooth, box pressed wrapper, with some slight veins. This corona in mild to medium in strength. The ash is whitish gray, although the burn is somewhat uneven. Upon lighting the cigar, slight notes of burning oak, and black pepper, invade the nose. The cigar is earthy, woody, and smooth, throughout the remainder of the burn... "Not too over powering "... The approximate burn time for this corona is 70 minutes. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd rate this cigar 4.5 Note--opinion---This corona is mediocre at best.

"Nice daily cigar on the lighter side"

Overall for the price I would say this is a nice daily cigar. I would say the wrapper tastes more like a dark natural than a maduro. I did not get any real burn issues and the draw was good. Like another reviewer, mine did have some wrinkles in the wrapper. First inch had a sweet, wet hay taste. The next 2 inches had a nice nutty flavor. The last 2 inches had coffee and a tiny bit of pepper. Certainly better than a machine made cigar - the smaller size makes it good for keeping in your mouth if you are doing something with your hands. If you can get them for a low enough price on auction, then I would recommend them for a nice medium/mild cigar. The box (square) press probably helps the smoke stay smooth, and being in the humidor for more than a few weeks helps as well.

"Nice, but not great"

Got this as part of the Best of Maduro sampler. Burn was a little inconsistent, had canoeing halfway through. Taste was nice and mild, with notes of cedar, chocolate and coffee. Smoke seemed a little thin. An enjoyable smoke, but just did not have the wow factor.
