"Poor"
My opinion of these is somewhat mixed, although I have to say so far largely dissappointed with these. The first one was okay - the next couple I lit and smoke tasted so bitter and terrible that I simply threw them away after a few puffs. I resolved myself that they were taking up valuable space in my humidor and there were headed straight to the trash. I decided last weekend to try another one and it was actually pretty decent. Overall, this is a gamble and I won't be ordering them again.

"Not bad with a little aging"
Give these a month in the humidor and they become an acceptable smoke. Not especially interesting, but not offensive either. You can hand them out without embarrasment.

"Burn issues"
Not too bad, if you can get one without a plug and that doesn't canoe on you. Took three tries to get one that I could finish.

"Some are Great. Others, Have bad burn"
I Like the cigars for the price however you do get some that burn up the sides or the draw is really tight.

"Slow even burn"
Medium taste which can get a bit bitter. Good value in this price range. Better construction and burn than most competitors in a bundle.

"GREAT CIGAR!! GREAT PRICE!!!"
VERY PLEASED WITH THIS CIGAR!! A TOP NOTCH CIGAR WITH GOOD FLAVOR AT A GREAT PRICE. THE ONLY THING NEGATIVE ABOUT IT IS THAT I WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT A LONG TIME AGO. NOW THAT I HAVE THESE IT WILL GIVE ALL MY EXPENSIVE PREMIUM CIGARS A CHANCE TO AGE IN MY HUMIDOR. I HAVE 5 BUNDLES IN MY SHOPPING CART NOW.

"Belicoso Only So-So!!"
I smoked most versions of the now departed previous La Floridita. I found them to be a pretty good value for the buck although some were inconsistent and hard on the taste buds.I'm now smoking the new, natural version of the Belicoso and they vary from average to very bitter. I have to admit, I liked the older version better.

"Disappointed"
I've been smoking Romeo Y Julieta 6x50's for years. Tired of paying $80 to $100 a box for a marginal cigar I'm sampling bundles for an everyday cigar.
This cigar burned fairly even. My Romeo's don't do that. The draw was a little loose. The taste was the disappointment.The from begining to just before the very end, the taste was as if the cigar got wet dried out an I smoked it. I choked on a couple of draws. Thare was no tobacco taste. At the very end I sensed a little nutty flavor but that was not worth having smoke the rest of the cigar to get to that.

"HORRIBLE"
These are the worst cigars I have ever smoked. I have smoked both the Robusto and the Gigante and both were great. These would not burn even had to keep relighting and the taste was NASTY (sent them back). Save your money!
