"Great cigar...tight draw"
I love this cigar but wish the draw wasn't so tight

"A phenomenal cigar in every respect"
Despite what most people say about not buying a full bodied cigar for your first, I was simply drawn to the Onyx, and it did not disappoint. A rich, full taste accompanies every puff taken, and both the burn and draw are even and consistent. They are now a permanent addition to my humidor.

"Great Cigar, Great flavor!!"
For the price, this is the best Maduro Belicoso cigar available.<br><br>
Appearance-A Right out of the box and into the Humidor, I knew I had something good. These things looked great!<br><br> Flavor-A+ I personally prefer this over Olivia Series O Maduro and CAO Maduro (two of my other, more expensive favorites)<br><br> Construction-A Contrary to other reviews here, I haven't had any draw or wrapper problems. I think a majority of the problems reported here may be due to improper storage/humidification and/or impatience. Don't expect to have a fresh, recently shipped cigar smoke like an aged gem. They rarely, if ever, will.<br><br> If you like cigars like the CAO Maduro or Brazilia or the Olivia brands of Maduros, you'll like this one. It's not as good as a Trinidad Maduro, but that one is a bit more expensive and shouldn't be compared, although it is close.

"really good flavor"
I really like this smoke, if it were a full strength stick it would be my favorite. That does not distract from the great maduro flavor it has and the box press construction is well done. Nice to look at nice to smoke.

"Long on flavor/Short on draw"
Love the flavor as I smoke Maduro cigars almost exclusively. This cigar is a great bang for the buck but found every cigar in the box to be tough draw. This cigar would be a 10 if it had a an easy draw!!

"A NEW OLD FRIEND"
As a big fan of maduro cigars, this one has become one of my favorites. I always have Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, Romeo Y Julieta Reserve, and La Gloria Cubana Serie R in the humidor, but at half the price, The Onyx reserve has earned a place of honor in the rotation. Plenty of flavor for any occasion, and as smooth as can be. I'm halfway through my second box and not a bad cigar in the bunch
