"Great Smoke!"
A really good smoke. Well constructed with a good taste. I purchased the same cigar with the natural wrapper and found they are a little too loosely rolled and get hot at the end.

"Proceed with causion"
First let me say, Im fairly new as a cigar smoker (less than 1 year), now I picked up a bundle of these and found them a little inconsistent. First they are not very attractive to look at, the burn is a little uneven at times. I've found that they do mellow out some after I put them in the humidor for 3 weeks. So as an amateur I would say, they are cheap and could be an ok smoke if your not looking for excellences. Would I purchase these again, (YES), if I plan to put them away for 3-6 weeks before smoking them. If your not will to do that don?t waste your time. They seem to be to unpredictable for the short hall. For the long haul a cheap investment but nothing special!

"Where's the tobacco?"
The price is right and the cigar fine except that at least half those I've smoked were noticably under-filled; they felt as if they were partially deflated. Not what I look for in a cigar, I'm afraid.

"Aims to Please"
This cigar is a working girl who lives in a trailer. She always goes home in the middle of the night, and I get to have breakfeast alone while peacefully reading the WSJ. She has taken some abuse in the reviews; so, when she offered her services, I accepted. She was cheap, and she always visits with wonderful gifts. How could this not be love? What a special girl she is!

"Better after mellowing in the Humidor"
Just as I expected after spending a couple weeks in the humidor the draw seemed to improve so I assume I did something wrong. Still great taste. I especailly like this with a nice strong cup of coffee. Worth well over the dollar a stick I paid

"A buck for a good cigar , no way! I was impressed!"
For less than a buck a stick I wasnt expecting much, but I bought them on the basis of other smokers reviews here. I tried one out of the box and I wasnt impressed. Two weeks in the humidor brought out this cigars easy draw and pretty big smoke. Half way down the cigar grabbed me and it will be a staple in my box, very good for golf outings and card games.

"Good taste Horrible Draw"
I grabbed a bundle of the Roly #2 to help fill the humidor. I had read pretty good things here about them.i fired up my first one and was really impressed with the taste not hot burning and smooth on the tonque. I must agree that they are very very soft though I expected these to be loosley wrapped and to burn like wildfire but just the oposite it was like trying to suck a bowling ball through a garden house trying to get a good mouthful of smoke. Maybe they were a touch wet from the recently regulated humidor. Overall I'm not sorry I grabbed them and I expect them to be pretty good for roughly a buck a stick.

"Happy with this bundle"
I bought the Roly Robustos (Maduro, 5" x 50, for $16 per 20 bundle) from Corona Cigar Co. just to help fill up my new humidor. Flavor was milder than i expected and it was a bit soft, but 1st one I tried burned perfectly with good draw. Flavor offered a bit of earth, and hint of nut. Was very pleased with purchase.

"Best I've had for the money"
I had smoked a couple bundles of the #2 and really liked the taste and aroma. Quite different than any brand I'd tried and I have tried many. Ihad not tried a puro indio yet so I went to my cigar store and bought one for 5 bucks. Although its construction and burn was better than Roly I was happy to find the taste was exactly the same and thats all I could hope for for 4 bucks less a cigar. Why buy an Indio when these are so good.
