"Good, Bad, Ugly"
I was about to write how inconsistent(taste) these cigars are, when they became even more so. I was going to rate them from mediocre to poor, but I lit one up and finished it, what a good finish. This was only 1 out of 5 that I have smoked out of the bundle, mind you. I have never found such an inconsistent brand of cigar. I will buy again, due to price and at my age any kind of variety is exciting, and variety you will get w/ these. Here are my 5 experiences so far in order 1st: Grassy 2nd burnt grass 3rd tasted like smoking dirt, 4th was earthy(tasty dirt) 5th was pleasant and finished very well. 15 to go. Wish me luck!

"Buy 'em low, let 'em sit"
I got these for $24.98 with free shipping through cigar monster.com. My humidor is filled with Perdomo, Padilla, Victor Sinclair, Alec Bradley and similar brands. The Value Line 400s aren't as good as those right off the truck, but let them sit for a few weeks and they hold their own. Let 'em sit for six months and you'll wonder why you spend more money on cigars.

"Good for the price"
These are great for the price , especially if you can get on sale. They are packed very hard and tight, The first one I smoked the wrapper cracked a bit when I held it to punch a draw hole with my 44 magnum bullet puncher. Hopefully some time in the humidor will moisten them up a bit. I think they are a bit too dry. Not stale, but could be a bit moister. The second one I had didn't crack, but that time I cut the end off with cutters instead of punching a hole. The taste is very spicy and they are strong. I only wish these bargain cigars came in larger 60 ring gauge sizes. I'll keep looking for them.

"Blew Me Away- Addictive"
The description said a "stunning mix." I was intrigued. There were no reviews. Thought I'd be the Guinea Pig. Glad I did. I sometimes liken cigars to Horseradish. They're both acquired tastes and usually the gourmond starts off mild and as they evolve, grow into the stronger stuff. I've moved onto the stronger stuff now. If this was a Horseradish, I'd want to put it on my prime rib and chew it until my eye's ached and lungs seized. I found this to be a truly stunning blend. Not harsh, but powerful. Gobs of cedar and pepper eye stinging, palate pleasing smoke. Can't ask for more. No Joke!

"Thee WORST seegar EVER!!!"
Do Not waste your time w/these duds. the draw is crazy hard. i got a headache from drawing sooo hard. It takes a septic tank vaccum truck to draw these cigars; which, is appropriate, because that is where they should end-up.

"This Cigar is a gem!!!"
The criollo wrapper really enhances the flavor! A great med. full flavored cigar that has notes of cream and spice! They feel very hard but smoke great!

"Has potential"
Well what you pay for is what you get I suppose. I guess I will start from the top then: First cigar I have had that actually burned out on me. I think part of it was the construction but I will get to that later. Over all burn was not that great though. Taste was fairly consistent for the first 4 inches or so, everything after that started to get a little more bitter every 5 minutes or so. Unless you have vacuum lungs you will not get that great of a draw. The whole thing was just wrapped too tight. Not even my punch really worked on it, and I ended up cutting it about 8 or 9 times and nothing really happened. The whole thing looked and felt really nice though. Round, fairly firm, near perfect on appearance I suppose. Not quite 100 but higher then 95. Taste was fairly nice, sweet tobacco is one of my favorites but after about 4 inches it started to get a little bitter. went down hill from there pretty much. Construction was actually very good, but WAYYY too tight. That was the only thing that brought this down so much. If it was a little less tight it probably could break a 90

"Great Value- Full flavor"
I hate to give a positive review cause everyone will buy these up. But for the money I have not ever had a better buy! Good full flavor in maduro and natural. Smoked two bundles so far. Very much like the Pepin Garcia stuff.

"awful"
Not the worst I've ever had, but I could see it in line. Terrible taste, burnt like tree bark and wouldn't stay lit(thought I would detach a retna trying to keep it lit) Would never buy again.
