"Hooked for Two Years"
I've been consistently smoking these for over two years, but be forewarned--a) about two of every box have a terrible draw (tight/plug), and you can only cut so far; b) about two of every box seem to have a tunnel/uneven burn. However, I simply love the taste and aroma and have been willing to accept few bad sticks in each box. The other reviews do a good job describing the taste. Enjoy!

"Full flavor, sweet smoke, and a new favorite!"
This cigar was introduced to me by a friend who owned a local cigar shop and it was highly recommended. Taking his recommendation seriously, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this cigar. It took me a while to realize that the pleasant sweetness in the air was not a perfume of a lovely lady but the smoke from my cigar. You will enjoy it and others around you will comment you on your great taste in cigars.

"Great Full Bodied Smoke!"
I have been smoking this cigar for about 10 years. It has a hint of black pepper, very spicy and full-bodied. Great with bourbon, or just outside tailgating. Would recommend to anyone wanting a different full body smoke.

"Excellent Cigar"

"Will not buy again
Smoke 10 of them - was happy with none. Lousy aroma, taste and draw. Don't know what the fuss is about these cigars."

Why did you smoke 10 of them if they were lousy?
I found these cigars to be top notch myself...

"A Top 5 in my Humidor!"
If you like maduro's, starbucks coffee, micro (hoppy) brews, this is a cigar you would love. The draw is great 9.5 out of 10 times, aroma is awesome, and the taste, supurb! I have smoked alot of these. So far every friend I have passed one to has become sold on it. Nice Oily wrap. Burns a good 45 minutes, NICE.

"Pleasing to eye as well as taste."
Pleasure! Cosmetics and construction is the first pleasure. Followed by the ritual of cutting and toasting, building anticipation of what's to come. This stick never disappoints with it's full-bodied flavor and tantalizing aroma. In my top 10

"The best of the best"
Strong coffee or Brandy love this cigar. A truly great cigar. Mellow and strong. A great nose. A cigar that you wish would just keep going. The best construction I have seen. the maddy wrapper is superb. I love this cigar. If you like maduro, you will love this. One of the few cigars I would say is worth the price. Its hard to beat this cigar.............Bravo!

"Awesome"
Are you afraid to try a Maduro? Do yourself a favor and try this one. Really mild with incredible flavor. Probably the best Maduro I've had so far. Burned for a long, long time. Took a lot of hits because it tasted so good - it last 9 holes on a long course - couldn't believe it.
