"well worth my time"
This cigar burned evenly and producd hints of pepper, cocoa, nutmeg,cinammonand cloves. The smoke was sweet and not overpowering. Two boxes at auction was a STEAL! Don't pass this one up.!

"Not good"
Taste like a turd. Very tarry taste. Uneven burn. Goes out. I got a free humidor with my box so it's not all lost! My dollar Fuentes are better. Save your money. I even tried to aged them that didnt work. This is the worst cigar in my all of my box's

"Very Sweet and mellow smoke"
I've smoked a lot of premiums and this one is in the running for the top spot in my humidor!. Very sweet and creamy. For a medium-full flavored smoke, this one is smooth all the way to the "nub". I have to thank my "better half" for getting me these as a gift. She will be sorry - I WANT MORE!

"Wonderful"
Absolutely wonderful. A great well made cigar. This cigar is FULL of flavor but not over powering. A perfect cigar for any time of day. You can certainly pay more, but doubt you will get more than this Belicoso delivers.

"Believe the hype..."
An excellent cigar!!! Combines the best of many worlds, a very difficult feat for most. I find them identical to the Partagas and to my taste better! But please don't pay any mind to the Amateurs that speak of draw and burn problems. It's amazing how it does not occur to them that it might be too dry or wet. They describe the symptoms but don't realize the ailment.

"Dramatic Drop in Quality"
I've included Olar Fuerte in my humidor for about two years because they've always been a good value, but not recently. The past two boxes (June and Sept, '05) were packed waaaay tooooo tight -- almost impossible draw -- and the flavor is gone. Dont' know if they changed suppliers, but this is NOT the cigar I've enjoyed in the past. Will try a 5-pack in a couple months, but otherwise I'm moving on.

"Disappointed at first; but....."
My initial experience with these cigars was one of disappointment. The first few had burn problems - they were difficult to keep lit. After a few weeks in my humidor, however, the problem seemed to resolve itself. They are a good cigar at a good price (got 2 boxes for the price of one) and I would order them again.
