"Delightful"

Like the size, feel,with nice puffs of smoke. You’ll be handing a friend a cigar you can be proud of. Tasty!

"TERRIBLE CONSTRUCTION. TERRIBLE TASTE."

I bought two boxes because CA gave these a 95 rating, there were two 5-star reviews, and I thoroughly enjoy the 1989 5-5/8x54. What terrible cigars these are! 15 of the first box were under-filled, harsh, and bitter. I only smoked half of the second box, 6 of 9 were under-filled, harsh, and bitter as well. I can t smoke any more of these! What do the good ones taste like? A NASTY taste, not harsh and bitter, just NASTY.

"A must have in your Humidor"

A jewel of a cigar that is a steal at it s price point. This is without a doubt, my favorite cigar when matched up with a Pinot or a Merlot. I could name about another 6 or so wines this puppy would match up to also. The flavors of anise, dark berries, subtle spice and dark chocolate just come through solidly and open up a good red wine. The burn is very good, draw is good and consistent from cigar to cigar. I ve gone through 2 boxes so far and each box has been identical in performance. There are three brands I always keep in my humidors. Padron, Melanio V and L atelier La Mission 1959...

"outstanding"

Excellent complex flavors. I find this particular size to be the best. Burn, construction, consistency and draw all are exactly what one desires in a cigar. Definitely box worthy.
