"Great cigar with lots of taste"

Great cigar with great taste, oily and rich. Love it.

"Maybe a bad batch?"

All of the cigars came unraveled half way through and were difficult to keep lit. Rough draw also. Very disapointed.

"These Won't Last"

I saw these on the mashup last weekend and ended up trying 5 because the price was right and the reviews were good. today I fired the first one up and I was pleasantly surprised. The size and shape were nice. Perfect construction with a deep mahogany color. Draw was also perfect and when I fired it up I got tons of blue smoke and a rich full sweet tobacco flavor that lasted all the way through. I've been lucky enough to smoke a couple Opus X and while not quite as good I have to say this is one of the better full body smokes I have had. These are not going to last in my humi so I'll be getting more of these beauties so I don't run out. It's a great smoke at a surprisingly good price.

"Perfect Smoke"

I really love these cigars. I first picked a couple up in a sample and thought wow, what a find. Ended up with a second sampler that had them, and again thought wow. I picked up a box and shared a few with the guys, the results were all the same, wow, what a great cigar! I will always keep a bunch of these guys in my humidor.

"Smooth-Rich-Powerful Smoke"

I truly enjoyed this cigar from beginning to end. It began with a smooth sweet smoke that may have brought fruit to mind...progressed into coffee-cream and a bit of cedar and ended as substantial but smooth-creamy powerful tabacco. I have a number of cigars that I am quite fond of but this one jumped somewhere in the top three...a few more might bring it to #1. I've heard a lot of smokers comment on it that it is too strong, strong it is but such a smooth, sweet smoke beginning to end, I would highly recommend this cigar to all but perhaps beginners or those who prefer mild-medium smokes.

"Good Cigar - but i'm with the "oh boya" guy"

Enjoyed this cigar although it was hard to keep lit and didnt have the greatest burn. Flavor was good - spicy full body and relatively strong tobacco. But 94 may be stretching it. Smoked a kristoff ligero maduro 2 days later and THAT is a 94 cigar to me. But everyone has different taste. This is a good smoke, no doubt, but i'm 5 and done.

"WOW"

I have smoked about 15 of these and every one is fantastic! I have never had an opus xx but it had better be really good to compete.

"My favor-rite cigar"

My favorite of all time. Very smooth for a full bodied cigar. I love everything about this cigar. Plus, it has alot of history to it.

"94 rate o boya,but i say 84-86 for this joya"

again, got this in the sampler,its a good cigar, burn-draw v good ,constr.-apperance good, but it lacked taste and aroma i think for a cigar rated this high, maybe i'll try it again sometime

"Excellent overall"

I became aware of this cigar from an article about the actor, Ron Perlman who is Clay on Sons of Anarchy show. He claimed this cigar to be the best in the world, so i ordered some up. Outstanding from A to Z. No bite, clean, great aroma, loved every bit of it. After going through my initial 5 pack, I ordered a box. Full-flavored bliss. I'm a believer and will judge all others by the Gran Consul benchmark in the future.
