"75-80 is about right for this stick"
I enjoyed this stick, but less than I expected. I think the rating of 75 to 80 is about right for these.

Perdomo Alabao Toro
"Very Good!"
Another winner from Perdomo. Great flavor, with good construction that causes a great draw and burn. For the price, it is one of the best smoking option around.

"This nOOB not happy"
Even though I am just a beginner, I found the first one inch pretty smooth, but in-distinctive. That sour aftertaste (you know it already) started building up on my tongue after that. While "just OK" there are better smokes in this price range.

"I was impressed"
I happen to like most of the Perdomo line and this was no exception. Draw was perfect, burn was okay, flavors...very nice. If you can get them for a bargain, don't hesitate.

"Enjoyed this one"
I am new to smoking cigars, having been at it for only a month or two. I have difficulty pulling ot the nuanced flavors of the ones that I have tried, but am getting a bit better at it.
I was able to get a box of the Alabao Toro for a reasonable price, and did so due to the criollo wrapper, which I have enjoyed in the past. Although the experience was quite different from those that I have tried (Kristoff, CAO), I did enjoy this stick.
The burn was a bit eratic, but did not fall apart until the last third, it having canoed to about a half inch differational. At that point, I simply let it go. I was not able to pick out a specific flavor until about the second third, when the cedar became very evident. I then noticed a charred flavor in the final third. Still, this was a very smooth smoke, and I was surprised that it stayed that way until the last inch or two, at which point it bacame to hot to tolerate. I used the cutter, possibly having too large a cut. Perhaps a punch would be the way to go here.
No problems with appearance: oily, with the characteristic criollo appearance. Just a few blemishes with noticable veins. And the stick was not as solid as most I have had - seemed very mushy toward the end. Still, I am glad that I have the box. These wuld be good in rotation with some other daily favorites.

"Silky smooth wrapper, even burn, great flavor!"
I received this in a "best of" Perdomo sampler and am very impressed with it. The wrapper is silky smooth, the burn was perfect, draw was firm which is the way i like it, and the flavor was phenominal. Tastes of nuts, cedar, chocolate, all blend nicely. I really enjoy Perdomo cigars, but i think this one is the tops!

Perdomo Alabao Robusto 5 Pack
"Not unpleasant"
I have smoked one box of the Robusto and feel that they are a more mild, well constructed cigar.
I expected more flavor but this cigar has its place on days when my taste buds want something simple and not too strong ... nice cigar for those times.

"Quite Tasty"
I have ordered a couple of 5 packs in the robusto size, and after a few weeks in the humidor, I have found these to be quite good. They burn well, and have a nice spicy flavor (not pepper, but more akin to nutmeg and/or cinnamon). I don't quite understand the other reviews, but if they keep the prices down for me, so much the better. While these are not in the same category as a Perdomo Reserve Champagne, I actually prefer them to the Perdomo Reserve Criollo.

"Good Smoke"
Overall a good cigar. It is a bit pricey for a house blend, but I enjoyed the smoke. I got those at auction for a good price and I will buy again when I can get a good deal.
