"TERRIBLE!"
Where to begin??? The construction was mediocre at best. This looks like a machine rolled stick. At least 3 large veins, horrible seems, and a squishy spot at the head that made cutting difficult, and the band was glued to the wrapper. It's supposed to be a maduro, but doesn't look, smell, or taste like a maduro. Prelight flavor was bland and dusty and the draw was very light. Burn was acceptable until the ash dropped the first time, at a little over an inch, then went lopsided and tunneled. This was the only cigar I've ever seen that tunneled in 2 spots at the same time. Flavor remained bland and dusty with a strong ammonia flavor and was extremely harsh on the retrohale. This would have been about an hour smoke for me IF I could have suffered through it. I tried purging several times, but it didn't help, only made the cigar do an impression of a 4th of July sparkler (never had that happen before). After 30 minutes I couldn't take any more. The only other one from the 20 under $20 sampler that has been this bad so far was the Imperial.

"Glad they were cheap"
I don't know if these cigars were just rolled recently or what the deal was, but they would not burn worth a lick. When it did burn it was not even and the draw was sub-par. I felt like I was sucking a watermelon through a straw. When I finally decided that it was not worth the time to try and smoke this cigar, I unraveled it to look at how it was put together. Not exactly the best construction but not too bad. The tobacco felt damp though. I threw what was left on the fire pit and that would not even ignite the tobacco. Perhaps these just need more time in the humidor, but if you are looking for a bundle ready to smoke, I would tell you to stay away. I will put these in the humidor and let them age a bit before I try and smoke another.

"Rolled bit too tight, needs 2 weeks in humidor 1st"
Ordered two bundles, (Suave Maduros). Smoked one upon delivery,a bit harsh and too tight a draw.
Sat in humidor for a few days and smoked a lot better. Do this, and it's a decent daily smoke.
