"Not a bad smoke."
A good smoke for the price. They are a little too loosely rolled and get hot at the end. The same cigar with maduro wrapper is much better constructed and has a great taste.

"Worst cigar I've ever smoked"
Burns unevenly, tastes bad (although it's slightly better after sitting for several months), draws hot. A complete waste of money.

"I expected more because of other reviews"
I just smoked my first Roly. I bought it because of the rave reviews I read on line. The cigar started out milder than I expected. The flavor was OK but nothing exceptional, as I smoked it the strength improved from mild to medium and the flavor remained consistant. The burn was NOT GOOD. I had to keep relighting as in spots one side would burn faster than the other. I have had worse cigars but the best I can say for this one is it is mediocre, and we all know we don't smoke cigars for mediocre. We are chasing the wonderful taste we occasionally find- but for a better price.

"The "First" of Seconds"
Hey it's a 2nd, but it's damn well the best of seconds available and a great value too.

"All is good except they are darn ugly!"
Another great deal, but they look ugly. Other than the looks, burn, draw and taste are good. Excellent deal if you don't care about looks.

"Great Cigar at incredible price"
This cigar was a big surprise. I expected less taste and burn quality from the look of the wrapper. It has a good burn, great draw and (what matters most to me) an excellent taste! I'll order more of these.

"some good some not so much"
Flavor is good enough, burn is inconsistant, some tend to zip down one side, ash will hold for an inch or so, construction is not especially good. As with any cigar much better after some time in the humidor. They are worth the low price,okay as a daily puff.

"Surprising start and a good finish."
Very happy about this purchase! They are good out of the bundle. I will let these mellow out a bit in my humidor, but over all a very good smoke!

"Some Good, Some Bad"
I just order some more Roly#2 when they were on sale for $17.00 a bundle. I still think I got a great deal! I have tried #2, #4, torpedos and I think they make some good cigars but........ The bundle maduros that I got were rolled really loose and had a REALLY LIGHT draw so I have to go slowly with them so not to get an uneven burn, not a big problem for me. And the flavor with the maduros is weak. I have had them before and their flavor was good but with these, I don't know. I have already given a review for Roly's before and stated that I liked the maduros better than naturals, but not now. I also got a bundle of naturals and they are really good. Good construction, even burn, and a nice flavor. As for the torpedos, they also had a loose feel to them and light draw! Good flavor but at the end would get really harsh. I still would buy Roly's again and I hope this brand isn't starting that slide downhill.
