"A Very Unique Mild Conn"
I'm usually a full body smoker, and don't care for the intense creaminess of most mild Connecticut wrapper cigars. I don't know if it's the Ecuadorian wrapper or the Cameroon binder, but this one is very earthy, with a nice natural toasty sweetness, and only a hint of cream. Well, made, excellant draw, but none of that overpowering, sickly sweet cream. So, if you're a fan of creamy Connecticuts, this is probably not the smoke for you, but if you normally enjoy full body cigars, and are looking for a full flavor, mild, early morning smoke, you may wish to give this one a try. It has become a staple in my humi.

"As good or better than cigars twice the price"
I received this in a free bonus sampler, so I wasn't expecting much. This baby knocked my socks of from the very first puff. Reminds me of a sweet Dunhill I used to smoke. Mine was aged over a month, which may be the secret. I see myself stocking up on this bargain and smoking more often.

"Bucket of suck"
The cigar was so bitter I toss'd it a quarter down. I lit up Los Blancos to test my palet and found the old palet was working fine.

"Disappointed"
I've been an Oliva smoker for some time and Georges Reserve was a big disappointment.

"not a premium cigar..."
I was very let down on this cigar for one reason...taste, i was bored with this cigar. Nothing stood out, and have even had better experiances with cheap bundle cigars. To each's own I suppose. This cigar is def. not for me.

"Georges Reserve Robusto doesn't disappoint!"
I was very pleasantly surprised with this cigar. It's well constructed and remains strong throughout the entire smoking process. The appearance of the cigar is superb. For the price of this cigar its a must have!

"Please change the marketing of this cigar..."
Dear Mr. Zaretsky,
Thank you for pricing George's Reserve to in a manner to encourage me to try. The robusto is quite tasty, well constructed (thank you Oliva), and one of the nicest early-day cigars I've run across, but the band is completely worthless and cheesy. I took all the sticks out of the cello, put them back in the box and aged them a month, and they already are improving nicely. Supreme with coffee.
