"Definitely a winner"
The first one I smoked was a real bummer - looked and smelled great, but draw was plugged. Luckily I didn't have just one, because all the others - YES! Very tasty, beautiful to look at, and other than that first one, great burn and draw. I'll have these to share when I'm feeling like giving someone a treat.

"Very good cigar"
Very nice taste, easy draw and nice construction. Very good value for money. I think this will become my regalur in between smoke.

"The Toro is the best!"
I love the flavor of this brand--hazelnut with floral overtones. The finish sometimes gives the impression of a strong onion, or the sensation of horseradish. The filler tobacco is exceptional. The construction is not perfect--there is occasional tunneling or unevenness. This was worse with the Robusto--better with the Corona Extra, however these were too mild. The Toro seems to be the best of the brand, and I think they will improve with age.

"Love at first light!"
Got this in a sampler, and it was my favorite new discovery. The delicious, hazelnut and floral flavor started strong, but settled and lasted. The aroma was a big plus--for once, the wife didn't complain about the smell! The draw was near perfect, perhaps a bit easy. The burn was pretty darn uneven, but I greatly enjoyed the smoke, nonetheless. I'm going to try the Corona Extra--perhaps a slightly trimmer version will burn more evenly.

"Very Underrated Cigar"
Smoked one from the FSS 15-brand sampler. This is a cigar you can roll out of bed in the morning and smoke on an empty stomach and still get great flavor! The aroma and taste of nuts dominates. Didn't have any problems with the draw and it burned evenly. There will be a box making its way to my humidor soon.

"Nice Smooth Mild Cigar, Excellent Burn & Ash"
At first I thought these were a bit too mild for my preferences, however after smoking 3 of out the 5 pack I won at auction I've decided they are just right. As another reviewer noted, they grow on you. These cigars are rated as medium-bodied, but too me they are more on the mild smoking side. Excellent draw, excellent burn, firm ash, uniformly consistent construction, smooooooooth creamy smoke, good taste and good aftertaste. Will buy more, but will buy the box of 25 next time.

"Got a hernia drawing off this one"
This cigar looks nice...but after I got it lit, I felt like I just ran a 2 mile race to get a good draw. Real tight, horrible draw. Got a little better as I smoked it, but over all I would avoid this. If the draw would have been good, I would have reccomended it. It tasted good, but again, I was winded trying to get a good draw.

"a long lasting cigar"
I have only smoked one of these cigars.I got it in a sampler pack .In my opinion it dosnt have enough flavor.The flavor it has is very good but its not quiet enough.The construction is superb,the burn is even,the draw is perfect. Its a good tight cigar ,that will last for almost two hours .The price is very resonable , and if it had a little more flavor,I would switch over to this cigar in a minute.But like I said,I have only smoked one .
