"Great cigar!"
A truly great tasting and well constructed cigar. I really looked forward to and enjoyed my Patagas #10s. They seem to smoke tigher than I remember from years ago, but not so tight as to require a poker or to make the smoke unpleasant, just tight enough to notice the harder requirement to draw. The burn, even with ardent "falsing", is not as good as it should be. Burn is uneven, but the ash is one of the finest gray-whites I have seen. The taste is excellent as is the construction and these attributes make the #10 close to being worth the price. For me, a retired Army type, justifying $5.00 for a cigar is too tough. I have smoked about everything except the really costly cigars and I think the #10 is a great cigar, worthy of the look/try. I thought the #10 was far superior to the box of CAO (M) Churchills I recently purchased but I will (as always) return to Punch as they continue to be the best cigar for the buck, in my humble opinion.

"Packed too tight"
Over half of these were packed too tightly to draw. I tried using a draw poker to open them up, but they soon closed up again. Don't waste your money.

"FANTASTIC!"
The Partagas #10 remains one of my favorite cigars of all time. Having been a cigar smoker long before the recent cigar boom (25 years), I am one who bases my favorites on first hand experience rather than wannabe HYPE.
The Partagas #10 Maduro is far more satisfying than the majority of SUPER PREMIUM cigars you will pay two to three times as much for, yet this cigar provides everything one would expect from a cigar costing far more.
Perfect white ash that can many times extend to half the length of the cigar before falling, a robust rich flavor that goes great with a cup of 5 star coffee or liquir, and a consistency that is hard to beat even with many other super premiums.
I wish they offered these in boxes of 25, but that is my only criticism.

"Tried my first Partagas, I'll be back."
I finally tried my first Partagas. They live up to the rep. Very nice looking cigar. Excellent taste,thick rich smoke. Holds a nice white ash. I'd rank this at or near the top of my list. Excellent draw and consistency.

"Excellent choice"
This is a very smooth cigar. The flavor is smooth, but not plain. The cigar burns very evenly, which suggests very good fermentation. The cigar has a very nice and shiny wrapper, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a very good smoke at a fair price.
