"Glorified Swisher Sweets?"
OK... first off I should say that I don't like sweet or flavored Cigars... also I only smoked half of one of these because that is all that I could stomach... so there's my disclaimer. That being said, I did not like the taste of this cigar at ALL... I have to agree with Ed from Boston It tasted like I was smoking candy while everyone has different tastes (you wont find many cigars reviewed that don't have both good and bad experiences) this one just isn't for me. It burned alright, and had a decent draw, but I couldn't get that sweet taste off of my lips. It surprises me a bit that anyone could compare this to a Montecristo (my favorite cigar) but as I said, everyone has different tastes. If you like sweet cigars, you may want to give it a try for the price, but I can't recommend.
