"Fine smoke"
Excellent construction, suberb even burn. Definitely on the stronger side.
Found this at the bottom of my humidor, so I m guessing ir had at least a year on it. No relights, no corrections needed
Though some negative reviews mentioned construction and draw issues , i experienced neither in the 3 or 4, i enjoyed.
An excellent smoke compared to sticks priced way higher
Not enough specials on Onyx!

"Proceed with Caution"
The first one I ever smoked was accompanied by about a keg of coffee on a late weekend night drive across the prairie. Between the caffeine and nicotine, it s no surprise I was speeding and got pulled over. They were expecting to find a DUI. I got a warning ticket, but I shouldn t have been driving as amped as I was. Wonderful punchy cigar, very deep leathery overtones. But definitely not a starter cigar. Rewarding for any demanding palate.

"Cold weather performance"
Must of the cigars in the market can t withstand cold weather. Some get cracked or unwrapped. This cigars, Onyx, is well constructed and can withstand extreme cold weather without getting down. Is surprisingly excellent.

"Excellent, but I prefer the Belicoso"
Draw was waaay too tight in the beginning, but after some massaging the stick loosened up becoming almost spongy by the midpoint.
The last third was the best flavor-wise, but unfortunately it was too shortly lived.
The whole burn time was about 45 minutes.
88 points [flavor-wise, 85 points for the first half, and 90 points for the last third].

"Tasty!"
A pretty tasty cigar for the price. Spicy, peppery flavors.
I was annoyed at how tightly rolled one of the cigars was but a slight bite on the head and I was good to go.

"A little over rated"
Appearance looked good, firm yet spongy to the squeeze.
Handsome looking cigar. Elegant black gold and white banner. good burn easy drag.
It started out smooth and gradually gave its true blend. It released a gal/tar bitter taste throughout.
I think this cigar will appeal to many pallets, but not mine. I?ll stay with my PDR 1878 reserva Dominicana Capa Habana.

"Too tight"
The #4 is one of my favorites. However this one has too tight of a draw. the tobacco flavor isn't that great and its missing the cocoa and nut flavor that make me love the #4. Pass this one up for now. Its not that great.
