Inconsistent, poorly rolled, disappointing  From the first to the last, sadly a bad choice. Some were rolled way too loosly, many had imperefections that would leak smoke and cut down on the draw...but the taste was good, This review was written by Ken of Scranton on June 12, 2008 Little too mild for me, ok for price though! given the price point I'd say these are decent sticks. I really don't care that much for them though as I like a stronger/fuller flavor, especially in a manduro. Draw on the one's I smoked were fine. Construction was fine. I just didn't find the taste and flavor to my liking. All in all, not a bad cigar, just not my cup of tea. This review was written by JNav89GT of Illinois on May 29, 2007 Horrible draw can't get no smoke. Taste..burn...very good but the draw is horrible and ruined my experience. This review was written by L. Adam of The Woodlands Texas on June 9, 2004 NOT GOOD These were not good. Will never order these or any bundle because of this. Thank God for the return policy. Antonio & Cleopatra at Walgreens are more of a premieum cigar than any of the 25 I order. I guess you get what you pay for. This review was written by Corey of Dallas on April 12, 2004 Poor /Inconsistent Will not purchase again. 60% of bundle had poor draw, inconsistent construction. Experienced constant tunneling and canoeing. Although it was not a bad tasting cigar by any means (when you could get it to smoke)I will not purchase again This review was written by Clem of Kentucky on March 6, 2004 Very Good Cigar This is a great tasting cigar. The affordable price is just icing on the cake. I tasted the Robusto in the shop and immediately bought a bundle of the Lonsdales. I love the earthy taste that also gives a slight sweetness after the first inch or so. I took my time with this one and it smoked for almost 2hrs. If the rest of the bundle is consistent I'll be restocking. When time permits I'll be smoking this in the morning. It was a nice mate to my Hawaiian blend coffee. This review was written by Keith Short of Pennsylvania on December 27, 2003 Great mild, smooth smoke! This is an excellent smoke. If you enjoy the A. Fuente Curly Head Deluxe, you will like this cigar. Good novice smoke or morning smoke for the pros. This review was written by P.C. of Kentucky on October 20, 2003 One Bad Apple I was searching for a good value in a daily Maduro smoke, and happened upon the Andros section of FSS. After reading the rave reviews comparing these sticks to smokes of twice the price, I decided to buy some Lonsdales. Unfortunately, my experinece was not the same as others. The first one I lit was almost impossible to draw, but what I could taste of it was quite good, just very thin due to the nearly impossible draw. I rolled the cigar between my fingers end to end, and felt what seemed like a wooden plug at one point. I proceeded to check the others, and about 1/3 were anywhere from soft to wooden at different points along the length. Most were inconsistant. I cut a few and drew them, and they were extremely inconsistant. I contemplated being one of the few stated to return this bundle, but it tasted so good that I decided to keep them anyway. I figured that maybe a larger ring would be less likely to plug, so I ordered some Churchills. Time will tell. I certainly hope I will share the experineces of others here in the future. This review was written by Cecil of Stockton, CA on July 8, 2003 Unbeatable quality for the price Great value, burn & taste better than others at twice the price. This review was written by Jack of Houston, TX on June 9, 2002 Excellent smoke, Price vs Performance For being a Maduro, Andros is not so strong. Very good taste, burns excellent, good construction. One of the best deals on what you got for what you pay. This review was written by Manuel Mercado-Saavedra of Quebradillas, Puerto Rico on March 27, 2001 Andros, long cigar? you had a special, buy 2 and get one free. Please let me know which Andros it was. It was GREAT... This review was written by James G. of San Antonio, Tx. on March 26, 2001 This Smoke is OK -Don't buy It-- I Want It. Hey Boss -- When I said it was a great smoke. IT WAS!! When we did't have it for 1 mo. WHY? Now it is just now OK (bad burn) It is a great smoke. This review was written by Jack Flanagan of Concord,MA on November 26, 2000 Started it for golf------Now it's my I first wrote a note about this stick when I bought the bundle to smoke on the golf course,and indicated it was a great "burner".After trying many other brands at a higher price I have now made it my "MAIN" smoke. Right now it's holding it's own with a good Port Wine.If draw, burn, an taste is important, then buy it! For the record I tried other sizes of this brand and can not give the same inputs. This review was written by JACK of Concord MA on March 10, 2000 If you play golf-smoke Andross Lonsdales The most inportant thing in golf is not to be upset by an outside agency. When you drop the Andross Lonsdale on the turf, it always comes back burning. This review was written by Jack Flanagan of Concord MA on October 19, 1999 Smooth, full palate of flavors, cheap if 2x price. At first, I thought I was taking a chance in ordering this bundle. I've been searching the high-end sticks to find the flavor and construction that could live up to the price tag, and was absolutely blown away by this unknown. My only fear is simply, will this be another Tamboril and be discontinued in the near future? I sincerely hope to be able to rely on a steady source for quite some time.
