"KOTR"
This was a great cigar, up until the halfway point. Smooth with a slight sweetness to the aftertaste, then once I hit halfway it turned bitter. First half was worth it though, will buy again.

"Worthy"
Re-visit to an old favorite. Some taste inconsistency, but very good impression overall. Rich flavor when right and burn fine. Definitely back in the rotation. Five star jaw breaking smoke. Recommended.

"The Things I've Read/Reviews"
Well, I don't know what to say! I bought a box of these smokes when they first came out, and they have a great appearance with a nice toothy wrapper, and an excellent burn, along with an excellent draw. I never had any of the difficulties that have been described here!!

"Beautiful but rough taste"
These are gorgeous, black, oily cigars. Well made and easy to smoke. My only complaint is that they taste kinda rough around the edges. Very full-bodied and robust, they need a few more months in the humidor to mellow and smooth out a little. After smoking a full box, I have not encountered the construction problems the other guys wrote about. If you can afford an extra $40 per box, buy Romeo y Julieta Reserve (Maduro) Robustos. If you can't, these are pretty good.

"Good cigar but a lot of work."
I left this cigar in my humidor for about 2 months before trying one. This is one strong cigar that tastes pretty good. It has a great draw and gives you a ton of smoke, which I really like. However, every cigar in the box burned crooked (extremely crooked) and wanted to go out about halfway through. Smoking these cigars proved to be a lot of work. If you don't mind working at the cigar, then I recommend it. But if you want a relaxing experience, smoke something else.

"A Cup of Espresso"
This is one big powerful smoke! It's certainly a beautifully made and asthetically marvelous piece of work. Like a big red wine, this is going to need some time to mature I think. I gave mine a couple months in the humidor before trying them, but I think they will need about 6 months to come of their own. At first this is a big somewhat bitter smoke, but with hints of a very full complex flavor underneath. However the bitterness almost overpowers the richness. A wrestling match ensued. Which one of us was going to win? I gave it about 15 minutes and it really started to soften and allow the full richness to come through. By halfway, it was really a great smoke, complex and full bodied and a real mouthful. The ash was long, firm, a bit rough and almost black, indicating the possible need for more aging. The burn was extremely uneven, even with touching up. I had runners a half inch deep which continued to the end. I would guess with 6 months or more in a humidor, this will be a more balanced smoke and better from beginning to end.
