Absolutely Disgusting

Please, I'd rather die than smoke one of these again. At no point was this a pleasant smoke: nasty taste, uneven burn, poor construction. Don't waste your money here, go buy a coke instead.

Disgusting

Tastes like smoking leaves from the forest. Horrid cigar. Cow Dung for a filler?

Good taste, poor construction.

This cigar is pretty consistent when it comes to construction. Most had a hard draw, all split while smoking and when the band was removed every one had wrapper damage from the glue. The taste was pretty good and enjoyable with coffee in the morning. If you buy any, use a Fletchman Tool® to clear the plug then smoke them to the band and toss.

mild

nice mild smoke... if you don't like that pepper and spice taste, this is one to try.

One horrible cigar!

Won these at auction for 60 cents a stick, and overpayed by about 60 cents a stick. I only smoked one, which from the prelight smell I knew was going to be a mistake, and I was right. It's my own fault for trying to find a real "bargain". I can't even in good conscience return these for fear they'll be resold to some other poor soul. I'll do my part to protect others and throw these in the trash. (I may give them some time in the humidor, but I haven't really decided that - don't want to poison my humidor for any future storage.)
Based on my exhaustive research (enduring part of one of these cigars) I can say these would make a great smoking cessation product. I'm fairly certain if you were to smoke one of these a day for a few days you would never want another cigar.
For those of you who gave these positive reviews, you must've got lucky and got some from a different crop.
If you want a good value cigar, stay away from these and order the Flor de Oliva bundles instead. They are so far superior to these they really shouldn't be mentioned in the same posting.
