"Full and smooth"

A really good cigar out of the box. Put a year on them when the oils come out of the wrapper, and it’s incredibly smooth with all the richness.

"Would not recommend this cigar"

Tasted good but that is about it. It burned very poorly and turned soft all the way and was a chore to puff on.

"Just O.K."

Thought I was buying a more flavorful smoke. Turns out it was rather bland. No complexity at the start, middle, or finish.

"Very nice cigar taste wonderful"

Very smooth and strong without the bite. Has a very smooth draw and taste marvelous.

"A let down"

I don t know if it s my palate or if the 5-pack I got from the Monster is just too old [as it has been the case with other recent purchases], but this was disappointing. Showed hints of molasses at the foot and on the cold draw, but then the smoke started harsh, with dark, almost charred tobacco flavors. Got more smooth on the second third but was still one-dimensional and lacking in flavor; was at its most engaging during the last third. Ash was a little flaky too. On the upside, the full-bodied tobacco paired really nicely with the Lagavulin scotch. Fortunately Famous will let me return the remaining sticks for a credit.

"Decent"

Decent. Nothing over the top!y I would probably buy again for the right price.

"Deep Perfection"

As close to perfect as it gets. My absolute favorite cigar.

"Most Improved Award"

If there were an award for most improved over time this would be it!Terrible fresh outa the wrapper, but in the humi at 72% for 4-6 months - one of the best ever - Great construction, burn %26 packed with tobacco. Like a great bourbon, just gets better with age.Let em sit, then you can thank me later.

"All is well that ends well"

Let these rest a bit and you ll enjoy a 90+ treat of smooth rich smoke with a knockout finish.

"Disappointing"

I'm sorry, but no way was this full-bodied. It was pretty but weak and almost tasteless. This was not the Joya De Nicaragua I remember.
