"Having difficulty adapting to the change"
I used to really like the Maduro Robusto and it's box pressed shape. I thought it had a good flavor and for the price was fairly consistent. I tried the Pancho and the Gigante. First off I notice they are round now. Nicaraguan cigars are my least favorite and so far, I have smoked most of the bundle of the Pancho, and found them to be inconsistent. I am smoking them just to get the opened bundle out of my humidor.

"OK, maybe I was a bit hasty"
Just smoked one of these the other night after not having one for a while. It had been aging nearly 5 months in my humidor. Much improved. Much smoother than even a couple of months ago. Leathery, with some chocolate notes. I would smoke this one almost everyday. If you are going to buy this one, let it rest in your humidor for quite a while for the best experience.

"Decent construction, Great Burn, OK taste."
First off, for $21.95 a bundle, by no means do I feel ripped off. This cigar is fairly well made. I've noticed a few flaws, but nothing serious and certainly acceptable for a bundle brand. Wrapper is a little darker than the photos online. Nice reddish-brown color. Smoked about 10 so far and have had no problem with draw at all. Very even burn and very white ash. Ash is also solid, had one the other night go two inches before it fell off. You can tell they did not skimp on the quantity of tobacco used. Ash can be a bit flaky, though. Taste is another matter. Smooth is not a word I would use to describe this one. Very distinctive taste, kind of woody, but a bit rough in the back of my throat. Medium-to-full bodied flavor. Have let them age a bit in my humidor for a couple months and they have only improved slightly. This one is probably a good outdoor choice, but not sure I would want one everyday.
