"One of my Favorites"
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.

"Eh....."
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.

"Where have these babies been?"
I am always in search for that one great cigar for a good price. Tried a box and now I am hooked. Great taste, good draw and burned well down to the nub. I will always have these in my box. I can now rest.

"Disappointing is an Understatement"
Very Disappointed in this smoke. Had 2 of them after sitting in my humidor for a while. Both were extremely hard to draw. Not much flavor at all on the Cigar. Aroma was non-existent. Did not really find anything rewarding about the cigar except its unlit appearance. I would say pass on these duds.

"Good smoke for the price"
Good smoke for the price! Nice, smooth taste as you get down to the nitty gritty. Burn could be a little uneven, but for the price, it is a good value.

"great taste, not so great burn"
These cigars taste great but the first two that I lit up did not burn evenly. I had to fight with the burn the whole time which made it a little frustrating to smoke. Im hoping I just got a bad batch because I like the taste of these.

"Disappointing"
The SLR robusto in the maduro wrapper is billed as superior to its counterpart in the natural wrapper, which I love. So, I tried a 5-pack. Sweet looking, very well-made, draws well, stays lit, and all, but, after three cigars, I find it a big disappointment as a smoke, varying between bland and bitter. It has none of the spice, richness, and tasty smoothness of the SLR robusto in the natural wrapper.
