"Just okay."
Not very impressive. Draw was too loose, burn was uneven. Taste was of leather and some chocolate but rather harsh.

"Great for the price"
I enjoyed this cigar. It is not too strong not too soft.

"worst in awhile"
I know some people like them and maybe i got a bad one in my economy sampler, but it was not a good experience. Burn was like one big streak. Taste was like burnt leather.

"I'm very surprised by these negative reviews."
I find the Pancho Natural to be a consistently good tasting cigar. Yes, the one negative is its uneven burn--it never tunnels on me, though. It's a trade-off: the wrapper is thick and flavorful, so I think it retains a lot of moisture--causing the uneven burn. I wish more people would say if they are referring to the Maduro or the Natural. I like them right out of the package--no aging necessary.

"Inconsistently BAD TO WORSE!!"
Bought these thinking that it's time to try something new. BIG MISTAKE!! Tried one when I received the bundle, I may have been smoking paper. Set in the humidor for a month, not much better. Less harshness, but overall still bad. I will throw these out.

"Consistently good/tasty"
I also got the 2fer deal. The flavor, to me, is a less refined (more IN YOUR FACE!) version of the 2 or 3 Plascencia Organicas I have received in samplers. It is certainly full-flavored--but not harsh. I love the Natural wrappers--luscious, silky feel and taste. I compare these to the Fam. Nic. 3000, and I like the Floriditas better, except that the burn is sometimes uneven. If I could get them at these prices all the time, I would keep a constant supply.

"A nice spicy smoke!"
I've been searching for an economical substitute for my beloved Padron 2000 maduros, and I think I've found it! The La Floridita Pancho (Maduro) is a suprisingly satisfying cigar for the money. I'd dare say that the construction compares favorably to the Padron (and the caps are truly superior to Padrons) and the flavor is suprisingly complex and spicy. This smoke is too good to be a bundle cigar, but I won't complain, as the price is a steal. Try 'em, you'll like 'em!

"Oily Goodness, Super Price"
I recieved a 15 stick sampler thought this would be a stinker, was I wrong,great looking stick, very glossy. Used a punch and a poker the draw got better on the way down. Smoked it passed the wrapper. Bundle of Panchos will be in my next order. Thanks Famous....

"Ranks 3rd most enjoyable smoking experience yet"
I just bought the 20 pack bundle for 19.95 after trying one in the maduro sampler and I am in heaven! What an awesome smoke for the incredible price!! I'm relatively new to cigars (my goal is to ditch ciggies and stick to stogies) although my brother has been smoking them for quite awhile (his favorite is the Griffin's Fuerte). Anyway, so far I've bought a box of Olor Fuertes which are my current favorite, a single CAO Gold Robusto whick blew me away is number 2, and then these La Floridita Maduro Panchos. Now I need to get a box of the CAO Golds to see if they really belong in the number 2 spot, but if I keep smoking these Panchos, I might not give a darn about the CAO's. I just had my first Pancho out of the bundle with a double shot of Crown Royal on the rocks and I instantly knew that I made a helluva purchase. First off, this smoke had a draw that needed a little more effort than the Olors, but that's not too big a deal for me, since the smoke produced is so smooth and flavorful and abundant enough that I felt instantly relaxed. The smooth flavor of these La Floriditas is just phenomenal!
Now, I've seen some terms bandied about concerning "a cigars complexity is proportional to its quality" and I'm still trying to come to grips with these descriptions, but, in my estimation of the La Floridita I just had, there were tastes that came out of nowhere making me wonder "what was that?" I would say, however that the predominant flavors were cocoa and some nutty elements. The finish was excellent as well - I didn't want it to end. Not to worry, I have 19 left in my humidor. I must let them age a bit. I just know they will only get better and for only a buck a stick? Holy Moly, maybe I better get a bundle of the Natural wrappers as well. They are on sale as I write this. A highly-rated bundle cigar and deservedly so!
