"Superb smoke at this price"
Onyx doesn't disappoint. Rich flavor, great draw pretty good burn. I'm partial to box pressed and am happy to be able to get a smoke like this at a reasonable price to make this one of my everyday sticks.

"Very Disappointing"
Bought a box of these based on the high rating (94) but I am very disappointed. Draw is a little tight and I have to re-light often during the last 1/3rd. The taste is not to my liking at all - sharp and unpleasant. I've learned my lesson - never try a cigar by buying a box of 20! Anyone want to buy 18 sticks?

"Yippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
GREAT SMOKE! Highly rated for a reason. The wrappers are beautiful, thick, oily and stay intact. Go ahead and finger roll. Great cocoa and chocolate taste. Taste, in as much as complexity, is THE BEST. Draw is so perfect. I've smoked too many to count and every one is just as good as the last...

"One of My Favorites"
This is definitely one of, if not, my favorite cigars to date. The box pressed shape and delightful aroma are the least of the fantastic attributes of this cigar. It's VERY flavorful and when it 'comes in' at about midway, the pleasure jumps tenfold. My wife knows when I'm smoking an Onyx, because I won't come into the house til I burn my fingers - it's that good. She'll look out the door and question "Onyx?", and I'll just smile and nod as I continue my pleasurable experience. I've yet to waste a single draw on this one. For those that had a less than satisfying experience with this cigar, I suggest trying it again. All brands have a klunker every now and then, but I have yet to have one with the Onyx brand.

"Great Everyday Smoke"
I bought a box of these a few weeks ago. I'm very satisfied and would recommend these cigars to anyone.
Excellent construction; it just feels good in your hand.
I will say that when I plugged them, the draw was a little tight. I tried cutting one with a guillotine and it made all the difference in the world.
Can't beat it for for the price.

"a winner"
Very nice cigar, draw was a bit tight but not unacceptably so. Burn and taste were excellent. Considering the price, Onyx is one of the better choices out there if you are a maduro fan. I will be buying more.

"Wonderful Taste-Wonderful Value!"
This has to be the best value in a premium cigar to date. Very good taste and very complex. Even burn with no bitterness at the end. It taste the same at the end as the beginning. You just can't beat this cigar at any price. Wonderful value for such a fine cigar. I always keep a box or two on hand!

"New #1 Smoke in my Humidor"
Possibly the best cigar I have ever smoked. Surprisingly smooth start with a tantalizing finish. Had to really drill it with my punch to get a decent draw, but with that accomplished what a beautiful smoking experience. My humidor will from now on will be graced with Onyx Reserve!

"MAJORITY RULES - VERY GOOD SMOKE"
Ouch.....It sure is hard to type with burnt fingers. I took my rubusto well past the label and enjoyed every last second. I'm not going to label the taste as woodsy,creamy,leathery etc. but it was a great smoking experience for me. Somewhere between medium and full with a nice after-taste. I was expecting this but was pleasantly suprised at the even burn and easy draw. It was a single buy experience and hopfully the box I order tonight won't let me down.

"good cigar"
Nice white ash. Medium to robust full flavors. No bite or bitterness. Good finish. Gets hard to draw when stale. One of the best when fresh out of the wrapper.
