"THE BEST"

The BEST cigar I've ever smoked. I got it in a sampler pak of 30 different cigars and it was still delicious, smooth, well burning, consistent thru the whole smoke, no bitter taste at the end. Very cool on the tongue because of its length and ring size. To me this is the perfect cigar.

Excalibur 1066 Merlin

"Very Flavorfull"

I tried the Merlin because I was curious to try a Hoyo de Monterey with a Cameroon wrapper. (I really enjoy the flavor of the regular Hoyos' with a natural wrapper) The wrappers are almost golden colored for cameroons, not dark and chocolatey like a Partagas. The feel of them is amazing, and if you look at them in morning sunlight, you can see the hairs on the leaf standing up, and intact.Very appealing. The draw was perfect for a cigar of this ring gauge. (I usually prefer coronas, for burn and draw.) The cigar stayed pefectly lit, and the flavor was smooth, medium bodied and balanced. Not at all sharp or bitter. This is a good alternative to Fuente. I enjoy Fuentes' but the wrappers are way too thin, and they are prone to shattering with slight provocation. Maduros are too thick skinned, which makes them always problematic to keep lit, as well as being bitter. This is a really good flavor for the price, and as far as all of the problems the other reviewers had with the Maduros, don't but them. Buy these beauties with a Cameroon wrapper instead. 4 out of 5.

"Good cigar if you unplug them"

I just finished a box of these 1066 cigars and while I enjoyed their aroma and flavor I found them to have several problems. To get them to draw correctly I had to unplug every one of them and they also had a tendency to split eventhough I had aged them for over three months in the humidor. I will probably buy them again but believe that on a scale of 1 to 10 they only deserve an 8 rating.

Excalibur 1066 Merlin

"Good Smoke"

Beautiful Wrapper and extraodinary white ash. If you like Excaliburs - you might appreciate this smoke. It just doesn't quite have the flavor and after taste of the regular Excaliburs. I want to like it because it looks so good - but I would buy an Epicure before this one.

Excalibur 1066 Merlin

"Overall, the same as all Hoyo de Monterrey cigars"

This line, not just the Merlin, is better constructed than the other Hoyo and Excalibur lines; but the tobacco is the same tasteless garbage at an unjustifiably inflated price.

Excalibur Cameroon Lancelot

"Best Cigar for The Money"

The Lancelot is quite simply, the best cigar there is for the money. Having been smoking Cubans recently, I took a Lancelot out of the humidor and half way through I couldn't help wondering why am I bothering on much more expensive cigars when this one is superior. Rich, coffee and expresso flavors perfectly balanced. There are some great cigars out there and this one is one of the best and it doesn't financially cripple you to buy a box.

Excalibur Cameroon Lancelot

"Simply the best."

I like to try different cigars whenever I get a chance. I've smoked a few of the Hoyo dark sumatra's, and for the most part, I was not dissapointed. I am a maduro smoker, but I have recently developed a taste for cameroon. There was a box of Lancelot's in the same place that they usually keep the dark sumatra's, so I thought I might try one. This cigar look so well made, and smelled so good, I decided to save this one for a special occaision, so I picked the day we would first launch a missle into Bagdad. This cigar made a very tense situation a bit more bareable. After I found out exactly just who the missles were aimed at, I kicked back and enjoyed my cigar. This cigar may be among the finest in the world. Simply the best. God bless America!

Excalibur Cameroon Lancelot

"Brilliant!!!!!!!!!"

I have been smoking cigars for over 30 years and the first Premium cigar I smoked was the Excalibur #1 back in 76 or 77. It was excellent and it drew me into premium cigars. I tryed all different types after that to experience the wealth of the cigar world. I later had another in the early 80's and I must have gotten a hold of the odd bad one but I never returned to them untill recently. I, for a long time had been smoking mostly cubans untill I started to become dissatisfied with inconsitancy issues. Some of my all time favorites like The Cuban Hoyo Double Corona were not up to par. I returned to Dominican-Hondorun and Nicaragauian Cigars. One of the first I went back to was The #1 Excalibur. Utterly Fantastic and far superior to its Cuban Namesake currently; Belive me. Naturally when the 1066 hit the street I had to try the Lancelot. Brilliant!!! Tastes like or better then A Cuban Hoyo Double Corona in a great year! I don't have to explain the difference in price at between $70-75/box verses $290 (the price I would pay in Spain for The Hoyo Double-Corona. Everyone who smokes these is smoking the Best there is. I will always be in the search for a superior cigar at some future time, But for now, THIS IS IT! A solid 10

Excalibur Cameroon Lancelot

"One Of The Best"

Delicious! One of the best cigars out there, including Cubans. This bold, complex, mildly spicy and creamy smoke has absolutely no bitter aftertaste contrary to its almost desserty goodness. For such a large cigar, the Lancelot is well constructed with a surprisingly easy draw, too. A sexy Cameroon. I am impressed!
