Very tightly rolled, and hard to keep lit. Once you do get it to burn, the taste ain't bad. Hard to enjoy a cigar you when its so hard to draw. Like sucking a really thick milkshake thru a skinny straw. Don't think I will puchase these again. less

To start off, I'm no connoisseur of cigars; I tend to focus on the cheaper end of things to begin with, excepting the occasional CAO or Macanudo when I'm in the mood. As such, I'll admit my main reason for purchasing these to begin with was the fact it was a Maduro wrapper at a low price. Once tried, however, it proved far better than expected. It's a harsh smoke; not going to lie and claim otherwise. If you like your smokes mild, avoid it like the plague. The flavor, however, is impeccable. Rich, thick, albeit not always very multifaceted. It burns at a decent speed, and I've never had one go out on me, albeit I tend to puff more regularly than most. I also tend to suffer from my cigars unraveling or canoeing, and I've never had one of these things do either. The only real criticisms I can mention are the rather harsh flavor (Which I personally prefer) and a somewhat difficult draw. This thing certainly isn't the greatest cigar ever made, but if you're in the mood for a maduro of this size, and don't want a bleeding wallet, this thing is your best friend. Highly recommended. Though, to my (limited) experience, this does not always continue to other cigars by the same company. less
