"Way Overrated"
A nice simple little cigar, but not worth the money. There are far better cigars at half this price. I would easily pay 30 bucks for a cigar that warrants it, but this is a mild, Davidoff wannabe with just very average flavors. It would be a great newbie smoke, but only if you wanted to empty his wallet.

"What Did I Miss ?"
I must have missed something, This stick (of which i got 3 in a pak) was bitter and nasty until i threw it away after about 5 mins. Every thing about it was bad. I gave the other two away to my smoking friends and they found the same thing that i did. Maybe i just got some bad ones, but to me there not worth buying at any price...

"Perfect Draw......BITTER Taste."
When I first cut this cigar, the draw was perfect and the taste was nice. But that is where it all ended. After I first lit it....the first three draws were okay tasting, then got so bitter I chucked it after about 10 minutes. Maybe I got a bad one.... but for the price you cant get a worse cigar.

"Taste OK. Terrible construction."
Spongy and soft. Hollow in the center from start to finish.

"Very nice cigar but not worth the money"
This cigar is constructed very well. Great burn, very light draw and consistent taste end to end. It is a little mild for my taste. While I think it is an above average cigar, I don't think it is worth the price.

"Very good cigar"
This is a very good cigar. But I personnally will not purchase unless it is in a sampler pack as was the one I just finished smoking.

"Outstanding, mild, flavorful ... expensive"
Wonderful prelight aroma of leather. Translucent brown, slightly oily wrapper with delicate veins. The darker binder appears to show through from underneath. Easy notch to a firm cap, followed by a perfect, even light. The draw is very light and the flavor builds up quickly. The filler is milder than expected, no bite, but the wrapper (and binder?) has a very nice and rich aroma and a deeper flavor, reminiscent of oak and chocolate. Long, white, smooth ash, but wrapper and binder have a tendency to extinguish after ash drops, requiring a relight to avoid tunneling. Very nice finish/aftertaste. Excellent cigar. The only question is whether they are worth more than an Ashton or a good Fuente.
