"Pleasant"

I'm ordering another bundle since this seems to be my everyday smoke. Nice tobacco taste with a little more character than some mild cigars. Good burn, easy draw and not harsh. Better than most inexpensive smokes.

"Very disappointing"

Bad burn, lots of crumbs in your mouth, no matter how you cut it. Very disappointed in this label.

"half and half"

first half reminded me of yummy hoyo de tradicion. The second half was harsh and bitter and nasty at times. So half great, half not so great.

"Not too bad..."

I won't break this stick down into thirds because the flavor stayed consistent for almost the entire stick: Straight forward traditional tobacco flavor with no real bitterness or acidity until the last quarter. This stick drew well and burned better than expected with minor burn issues self correcting pretty well. The only issue I had was some splitting of the wrapper. This is definitely no premium stick and I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a budget "go to", but it's better than several others in the "Famous 20 Under $20" and makes a decent dog walking smoke.

"Tasted like grass and hay"

received these in a sampler. Burn, apperance and draw were very good. However it went downhill after that. Taste was like stale, moldy hay. Too bad !

"Poor"

This cigar fell a part right after lighting it. I will be leaving these alone.

"Decent smoke"

I found these a smooth, serviceable smoke. While they won't be garnering 90 ratings in Cigar Aficianado, they're a good everyday cigar.

"Just something to smoke"

The description mentions drinking coffee with this one and I agree...since it has little flavor of its own. Burn and draw ok. Mine was just a little loose but finished even.

"Ok cheap cigar"

The appearance of the cigar was pretty good, it only had a couple medium veins running through it. The beginning of first third of this cigar had a very mild tobacco taste with spice on the finish and by in end of the first the spice intensified. The second third had ever more spice and had a few toasty notes. I was surprised when the third third started all I got was a peppery harshness. I even started to smoke it slower, but it made no difference. Overall, ok taste,but the burn and draw was almost perfect. If you looking for a cheap spicy cigar, this is it! Just watch out for the last third.
