"Over rated"
Pros: Nice mild-med flavor all the way to the stub. Finishes very nicely.
Cons: Poor construction as the wrapper came apart in several places. I should have inspected the stick when it first arrived but kept in the cellophane in the humi. Otherwise I would have returned this 2nd. When I went to puff it, I noticed a 1/2 hole missing in the wrapper about mid way, the veiny binder pushing its way up. First thought was of a healed tree limb. Holding it sideways this magnum appeared rolled by an amateur with rolling peaks and valleys. Burn was uneven; runs, evens out then runs again. Draw was on the tight side too. I like a full mouth of smoke but not when my cheeks pull inwards to get it. When I decided to buy this stick ratings were in the high 9's. I see now that it has dropped considerably. Needless to say, I was disappointed with the overall quality of this stick.

"big dissapointment and i mean big"
i really like olor brand but these let me down. the taste is not up to olor standers and the burn is poor. i bought a box at a yankee auction and now i know why they were so cheap. i would never buy them again no matter what the cost. i would suggest another the olor cigar.

"A good looking cigar....that's where it ends!!!"
I won a 5-pack in a recent auction and smoked the first cigar last night. It's supposed to be a "full bodied" cigar. I've smoked more "medium bodied" cigars that tasted fuller than this one did. I give it an A+ for looks and construction ....an F for taste, draw and especially fullness. Don't waste your money...if you're looking for a "full-bodied" cigar....keep on looking. Maybe I'll send the remaining 4 to my brother in Florida....he loves mild cigars!!!!

"A bargain"
A great smoke. I bought a few 5-packs to try. This is smoother than the Perdomo Champagnes that I have been smoking. A great cigar from start to finish. I will be buying these again.

"Great Full Body Cigar"
This cigar was a long smooth full body burn. Great taste. Will buy a box next time.

"Skeptic No More"
While I hadn't tried the Fuerte Olor line, I was skeptical. This stick is a winner in every category! Great construction/burn/draw. Earthy, chocolaty, spicy with a hint of leather. Full flavor without being overbearing. Give yourself an hour and a half to enjoy this one.

"Magnanimous Smoke.... Indeed!"
Wow! What a huge smoke! From start to finish this oily wrapped monster is full of flavor. Nice ash, great draw, and the construction on my 5 pack was flawless.I'm a lover of big ring, full flavor cigars and this is a fantastic smoke for the price. Definitely not for the timid, but certain to be savored by all bold cigar lovers!

"One of the best"
I do not disagree that there might be a few burn problems with this cigar but in my opinion, it is one of the smoothest, fine tasting cigars that I have smoked. A staple in my humidor.

"More than a home run, a GRAND SLAM"
Picked up the sampler (with a nice travel mug!) with
a bit of cynicism, as I was disappointed by the regular Olor's. I started with the robusto: great little smoke from beginning to end. Tight construction, but draws as easy as a whistle. Nice ash, and the flavor was very interesting, mocha/cocoa with black pepper spices. Next day I tried the Magnum, concerned that the big ring might overwhelm my taste buds. But it smoked nice and smooth as well. And I can't wait to torch the 3rd stick today.
If you like full flavor without the harshness of some maduros, pick up a box of these. Definitely a winner.
