"Draw Issues"
Good construction, even burn, nice looking wrapper. A difficulty in getting most of these shows a lack of testing at the factory. With today?s capability in the business, this is unforgivable. They obviously just did not test any of their cigars for adequate flow. The toreadors? are just rolling these too tight. Shows a lack of experienced toreadors? in making this line of cigars. The flavor is, however, excellent throughout the cigar. Just wish I could have enjoyed them more.

"Delicious down to the nub!"
Pleasantly surprised by this cigar. Got it in a sampler pack, and was surprised by the great flavor, and consistency. I rarely smoke a cigar all the way to the nub, but this was the exception so far!

"Decent for the price"
Decent Maduro and definitely worth the price for 20. After seasoning them for about 3 months the flavor improved quite a bit. if you like maduros, it's worth it.

"Very Impressed"
I bought the Famous Lucky Sampler which included this cigar. I smoked half the cigars over a period of time and was not enjoying my purchase UNTIL this cigar. I really enjoyed the smooth, fresh flavor from the Castro. If you do some research about the brand, you'll find that this cigar is very high quality. I would recommend this cigar to anyone as it encompasses a full spectrum of flavor.

"not worth it"
I'll have to say that I don't get the fascination with APC and Rockey Patel. I am new to both, have tried both, and have been completely underwhelmed. Taste was one dimensional (harsh), draw was reminded me of trying to siphon gas from a car in 1972, and the wrapper started to peel off half way through. Not worth $3 per stick, let alone, $5 plus.

"AMAZING!"
Let me start off by saying that I don't care for maduro cigars. That being said, Amilcar Castro's reputation along with the very good reviews on the Famous site (and the awesome sale price) compelled me to take a shot on these. Seldom do impulse purchases turn out as well as this one did for me. This is a very good cigar. They look good, have a nice sweet pre-light, and a killer flavor profile. They start out a little stronger (medium strength) then I would have thought, but quickly settle down and provide a nice, slightly sweet flavor with hints of cocoa/chocolate and mild/medium spice. I nailed one right off the truck (had it lit before the UPS guy was back in his truck) and it was just about as good as the one I smoked after a week of humidor time.
Very smooth and flavorful smoke. Excellent construction with no burn issues to date. This is one of those cigars that you look forward to smoking. Highly recommend.

"This is a great "budget" smoke!"
My brother turned me on to these a few months ago. It has turned into a go to cigar. A really nice medium to full strength stick that has TONS of great flavors. There seems to be some inconsistencies in construction, I've had a few that had a hard draw, but for the price? You can't go wrong with these.

"Castro's are REALLY GOOD!"
I got these in a sampler and were really good. Bought the same sampler, and now I'm getting a box! Highly recommend!
