Helix X652
"Excellent"
I have been smoking the Helix X652 Connecticut for several years. However, I wanted to try a Maduro wrapped cigar for the first time. I figured that, since Helix is mild to medium in the Connecticut, their Maduro would be a bit milder than some of the other full-bodied cigars out there. was right. The Maduro is very mild. But the flavor is awesome! 10X more interesting and flavorful than the Connecticut. There s a molasses-like sweetness. Almost like dark coffee with a little cream and a bit of sugar. Draw is superb. The smoke is plentiful. Ash is respectable, not perfect. I just ordered a box.

"Delightful Smoke"
Just purchase a box. I bought a 5 pack of these to try, as a friend had given me a Helix 550 a while back and I really enjoyed it . This is a mild, but far from bland, cigar. Great draw, lots of smooth smoke, and a respectable ash. I smoke them right down to the nub. Definitely one of the best everyday cigars you’ll try. These don’t cost a fortune and they’re worth every penny.

"Better than Macanudo"
I just smoked the first of a 5 pack I ordered. I like a Connecticut Dominican with some interest and flavor ala Ashton or Griffins . I find Macanudo to be mild, but a bit tasteless. The Helix is inexpensive and tasty. Very mild. Incredible amount of smoke and slow burn for such a great draw. Ash is even and long. Excellent overall.

"Mild as can be"
Bought a box looking for something mild that could be shared with a group on a bachelor weekend some of whom are not regular cigar smokers . The cigars were even milder than I expected, and lack any complexity. They get somewhat harsh tasting toward the end of the burn. I set the remaining sticks aside in my humidor to age for a couple years, but they did not improve any. I will say that they are nice looking, and the draw is consistently good, but I would buy something else.

"Reat stick for the price"
I m relatively new to cigar smoking so take my review for what it s worth. I got 2 of these as part of best of mild cigars sampler # 13 . I really enjoyed this smoke. Draw and burn were great. Perfectly symmetrical burn the whole way to a 1.5 nub. I started this thing out with about 2 solid inches of white round ash. Draw was a little tight, but I like a tight draw. Construction and consistency are solid. Taste was uneventful, neither impressive or offensive. No after taste to speak of. A little spicy in the middle. I fully intend to buy some 5 packs of the other helix sticks. I d like to try the 550 Maduro and the 652 natural and Maduro.

"Does not taste good"
Construction was good but taste mostly like smoking hay. I did not like the taste at all.

"Don t waste your money"
Taste is OK but construction is terrible. Packed way too tight. I tried a 5 pack and 3 had severe draw issues.

"Not Bad"
A mild cigar that has a good taste of tobacco. Nothing special but none the less not bad for an easy smoke. Draw, burn and construction was good and had no issues.

"Nice cigar"
I was looking for a mild cigar to add to the humidor full of medium strength cigars. After the intial light up, the cigar burned a little harsh and peppery, but after a minute or two it smoothed out nicely with a smooth tasty easy draw. Good smoke, good draw, good ash, good burn. Held up nicely. I enjoyed it all the way to the end.A very good, smooth inexpensive cigar for a daily visit. I recommend it.

"very good"
These cigars are very good for the price. I ordered a box for a fishing trip and they were worth every penny. Every cigar was perfect.
