"wished for better"
My girlfriend and I love BIG cigars, but was disappointed with the way the cigar started to unwrap and crack as we smoked it. The taste wasnt too bad but not great. The draw was better than I expected. If the wrapper was twice as thick..would be beter. Think I will look elseware.

"Very inconsistent"
I really love these cigar but the producer has real consistency problems and quality control. One bundle smokes great and the next bundle you can barely get a draw without your throat collapsing. Just be forewarned when they are good, it's something to enjoy but when they suck - you're tossing half of your order.

"...novelty only..."
I like large Calibre (Canadian spelling guys) cigars, so I thought this would be interesting. Having had the Gold version in Toro size, I thought this should be ok. On receipt of the cigars I noticed that my hand looked really small holding one of these. The aroma was not good out of the cellophane - more like a beach cigar you get in the Domincan Republic - you know, lots of ammonia coming out. On light up - it was as the pre-light - not that good. Being a big tube - I had to draw until I got dizzy. I gave the rest to my 20 year old son to share with his friends who are too drunk to know better.

"Not faultless but damn near!"
I couldn't give it a bad review (not least because everyone has different taste and there is no "one cigar to suit all") but I'll say this for the monster... On the grounds that the bundle is fresh and/or well kept; it smokes like a dream. Cutting is the only potential problem if you lack a punch cutter (as I did - past tense) but aside from that my advice is to set aside an afternoon or evening and hang a "do not disturb" sign on your forehead. You won't be sorry.

"CARRY THE BIG STICK......."
Hey everybody...when you've got a free couple of hours you HAVE to try this one! The looks you recieve just lighting this one up will lead to some lively conversation...Don't judge because of the size...Give the BIG STICK a try...

"Ten inches of fun"
I bought these mostly because they are unusual, but it turns out they're pretty darn good, too. They are indeed a jaw-breaker to smoke, and my blade cutter could barely even pull enough off the end to get started. A punch cutter works better. Smoke one of these in public and you'll get plenty of looks and comments. Try a bundle, you'll like 'em.

"Disappointing"
I really liked the 6x50 size. I decided to try these monsters. From the time I lit it, what a dissapointment. The flavor was similar to smoking cardboard. Everything I experienced in the 6x50 was missing - except for the white ash. This cigar smoked like a true second. About half-way through - I couldn't stand it no more and put it out. Fired up two others - only got worse. The burn was very uneven and the wrapper fell apart. Maybe I got a bad bundle. I want to like these - but it is hard to. I'll try one more bundle - and hope to have a better experience.

"A Monstrous Treat!"
Camping on the lake after a good day fishing, I pulled my tupperdor out and surprised 2 buddies with a super giant. Their jaws dropped and then they clover leaf punched the monsters head. All I heard was ummm, ohh man these are really good. The draw through 10 inches of 66 ring tobacco couldn't have been any better. A massive voluminous cloud of sweet nutty smoke formed above our heads for 3 hours and 10 min. We also each finished 12 beers before snuffing out the beasts. Fond memories of a really good monster cigar. Get some if you got the time.

"A smooth draw. Very good smoke."
I bought a bundle of Flor De Oliva Super Giants as a novelty.I brought them to a cookout and was very surprised.For a large cigar it had a great draw,burned even, and had great taste.I wouldn't replace my normal smoke with it(I don't have that much time)but I will definitely bring some to my next cookout.
