"Good Cigar for the Money"
I ordered these just because the wrapper was dark and the price was right for a 5 pack. While the burn wasn't the best, the flavor was excellent. The construction was more than average, the appearance was homily as a hedge fence. No draw issues at all.

"Defiantly Robusto Maduro!!"
Bought these in pack of 5.The taste if you like a strong maduro flavor.These are your choice .The only problem I had was the burn was inconsistent( not even around the cigar).

"Meh."
Got one of these in a sampler pack. Flavor was harsh at first, but mellowed out into a decent flavor. Very inconsistent burn, kept canoeing and going out on me despite what I tried. Last quarter got extremely harsh, despite purging it a few times. Pretty mediocre smoke overall.

"disappointed"
Not very pleasing and one dimensional.
Threw the first two away and smoked a Doubloon instead which are much better.

"Good taste, bad burn"
The biggest problem I had with this cigar was the burn. I used up all the butane in my lighter (granted it was a little less than half full, but still) trying to get this thing to burn even and stay lit. The wrapper and binder did not want to stay lit, but the filler would burn so deep into the cigar that it would go out. About half way through the cigar, it canoed very badly, and at that point I was out of butane, which was a shame because the flavor was nice. Very mellow tobacco flavor with a hint of roasted coffee (not brewed coffee, but fresh grounds). I'm going to give them some more time in the humidor and see if that helps any.

"A Great Store Brand"
I was pleasantly surprised by this cigar. I generally don't buy store brands because of bad experiences, this one was different. A sweet, nutty, slightly spicy flavor. Mellow comes to mind, but it still managed to be very flavorful. I will definitely be buying again. Don't take my word for it try one for yourself. I personally scored this cigar A 94, not bad for A store brand.

"Toro Size a better result"
They buncher and roller did a much better job on this Toro when compared to the Robusto. The burn was good, ash was a medium gray. It is not a complex cigar at all, but has a slight sweet and pepper note to it.

"Not a Premium"
This is a nice looking cigar, the wrapper being dark red in color. To me it had almost a minty prelight smell. The burn was all over the place and had to be touched up a few times. It felt soft behind the burn line and the ash flowered. Maybe ok for a yard cigar but have your lighter handy.

"Not bad, not great."
As stated: not a bad cigar, but far from the best. I got a few with a sampler I picked up. The cigar is very well constructed. Nothing fancy, but well constructed. I found the draw to be a bit weak, but the burn to be very even. Sweet taste that has a berry finish, which isn't my favorite, but may be a good change of pace for others.
