"Very nice!"

Not a mild cigar - a very peppery start but after the 1st inch or so you hit the sweet spot. I like em and will re-order

"Great Smoke! Punches way above its weight class!!!"

If you are like me, and are mainly a full bodied Maduro / Habano smoker who works in some CT Shade in your rotation for variety, this is a great addition to your rotation. It opens with a huge blast of pepper, which subsides an inch in to give off rich, woodsy medium to medium plus notes throughout the smoke. Perfect mix of a classic CT Shade flavor profile and a more robust smoking experience. When you factor in the fact that its produced by AJ Fernandez, and factor in its price point sub $5 stick ,its a no-brainer. If you are an airy, mild CT Shade smoker it may not be for you, but if you are like me, and like your CT Shade flavors but also like it in a meaty, rich, and full flavored package, look no further. It smokes as well as boutique cigars double and triple its price. Great smoke at a great price. Kudos Famous Smoke Shop for bringing this to the market!!!

"Spicy spicy spicy"

Got this stick in a bundle with another brand. First impressions of this cigar were pretty neutral, but that changed pretty quick. This lacked any real flavor to my palate. This stick did deliver on being a spicy smoke, a bit too much for my liking. I’ve got the rest set back to age and we will give it a try in a few months. At this point though I don’t think this one is for me.
