"Absolutely great!!!!!`"

My brother and I have bee smoking Leon Jimenes #4s ever since Auturo Flunte (forgive the spelling) factory caught fire and we could/d get cigars.. We discovered the #4s and have enjoyed them ever since... Never had a bad one. Great draw, taste, and constrction.. If I had a complaint, it would be that as I finish one, I want to fire up another...

"These cigars wear well"

I first smoked Leon Jimenes cigars on a golf vacation in the DR in 2000 and started ordering them on my return, starting with the #1, then Robusto, then Belicoso. The differences in smoking experience between the various sizes is (to me) only because of the different burn characteristics, they are all same basic taste, mild and delicious. If you sometimes find cigars to be bitter and over-strong, or if you like to smoke more than one per day, you should try this brand, you will find it crowding out other cigars from your humidor over time because it works in just about any smoking event and is available for such a reasonable price.

"One Demensional"

A solidly built cigar. The one I smoked had a couple flaws in the wrapper but these were by no means showstoppers. The draw and the burn were good. I found the taste profile ... well... boring. I like mild cigars and keep them in my rotation, but this one did not impress. It's possible mine was a poor sample. It would also likely improve with a month or two in the humidor. Would I buy this cigar again? Let's just say there are other brands out there, including some Famous exclusives for the same price or less, that deliver more bang for my cigar buck.

"Definitely Recommended"

I recently purchased the famous 20 sampler #11. Of the 5 different cigars in there, (Don Tomas, Don Diego, Leon Jimenes, Cusano 18, and Oliva Serie O), only the Cusano 18 has been a better cigar than this. It had a good draw and a nice mild taste. For someone who prefers milder cigars, this ranks up there with some of the best.

"Packs a punch"

This cigar burns abundantly well, has a smoothe draw, ,and the taste begins a bit harsh but soon mellows into a delicious tasting cigar with notes of toasted almonds and a spiciness that you can feel on your lips as you enjoy this delicious bouquet of flavours before the finish which is strong and smoothe. a terrific made cigar that burned evenly with a good 2 inches of white ash. a deinite premium made cigar that was an excellent smoking experience. One of the best smokes at this particular size for a smoke with a bouquet of falovurs packed into one cigar, this cigar packs quite a punch that satisfies.

"Another Jewel from La Aurora"

YOU MUST AGE THIS CIGAR. This is very mild by my taste I have been smoking cigars for 10 years. I have tried almost every cigar out on the market from 1950's pre-embargo. To Cigars infused with the finest cognac. I recommend aging this cigar a min of 6 months to a year. In a good quality humidor. This cigar has a very spicey peppery taste. I recommend this cigar with Black label. This will even your palate and ensure for a smooth smoke.

"Inconsistant quality"

My first impression of the Leon Jimenes Robusto was very impressive when I received a sampler. I was so impressed that I ordered a box on my next monthly order. After going through eight cigars I have thrown 3 away! The smooth quality smoke I was expecting does not exist. The cigar does not burn consistently; in fact the three I threw away would not stay lit. I'll definitely stay with a Macanudo any day over the Leon Jimenes. The previous reviews on this web site are 2 - 3 years old. It seems the quality has slipped dramatically. I would not reccommend this cigar to anyone.
