"Not a Baccarat"

I keep wishing this was a Baccarat. It's not. Smoked em all to the nub though. I might buy again. Taste is a little more nasty than a Baccarat. This is a good kind of nasty. It is a nice wrapper and construction is good if not better than Baccarat. Oh but I miss that Baccarat taste. Taste is the one area where Pai Gow falls a little short.

"Sweet, similar to Isla Del Sol"

Got a sampler with these in it. Kind of sweet but not too much. Flavor reminds me of the slightly sweeter Isla Del Sol by Drew Estate. I think these are less expensive. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy them but not bad.

"Sweet taste right from the wrapper. Nice construct"

Sweet taste right from the wrapper. Nice construction, easy draw, and even burn throughout the entire stick.

"Sweet, Quick, Powerful Draw"

I received this is the Ultimate Sampler. I tried it mainly because the label was somewhat enticing. The cigar smokes quick and easy, with a very powerful and easy draw. Flavor isn't bad, but it's subtle. It burned somewhat off, burning almost like ripples. Still a good, 30-45 minute cigar

"Good Daily Smoke"

I am new to the cigar world and I have tried a couple of the samplers but had a preference for the milder smoke. I ordered a bundle of the Pai Gow and loved them. Great morning smoke or in the evening with a Scotch.

"Modestly priced, but great quality"

A very good cigar that will not empty your wallet, but which delivers very good flavor and draw. Construction is good, burn is good, and the flavor remains consistent even towards the end. All of the cigars in the test flight have proven to be good. I'll be buying more of these!

"So-So at best....."

...but you could do worse at the price. My biggest complaint was a bit of throat burn by the second third. Draw, burn all fine. Flavor was OK!

"Ugh"

I got a couple of these in a Plasencia sampler and lit one up last night. I didn't realize it was a flavored cigar. The sweet flavoring hit me on about the second puff. By the time the thing was lit, I was gagging. I threw it down. Please don't put these in samplers, they are liable to taint the taste of the rest of the cigars.

"Worth the modest price"

I had seen some pretty high marks on the web about this cigar so when I saw this deal, I jumped on it and I have to say, I'm glad I did. I found it interesting that each size had a little different burn characteristic, the worst being the Robusto. I could not for the life of me keep an even burn on those. Aside from that, the sampler was a very pleasant experience. The sticks were all well-constructed...uniform firmness from head to foot, smooth wrapper with few veins. Prelight aroma very nice tobacco scent with what I thought was a hint of earth and leather and definitely some cedar or some similar evergreen. Every one of them shared a very nice and easy draw with a lot of creamy smoke. Speaking of smoke, very mellow with a touch of spice early on, a little less around 1/3 to 1/2 of the stick then a gentle resurgence toward the end. All through each stick I got a little taste of that evergreen now and again that grew more and more welcome the more I experienced it. I am very pleased with these cigars for the price. Great taste and construction and, for the most part, a very even burn. I think a box of them is in my near future!
