"Not bad considering."

This was the last cigar I smoked from the Famous-15 cigar sampler, meaning it was resting in my humidor for well over a month's time. Honestly, I didn't expect much from the appearance and that tacky band, but looks were deceiving. The smoke was creamy and the draw was nice. I had no trouble with the burn; it was nice an even. The finish was a bit rough, but I can't complain too much for the price. I doubt I'd buy anymore of these though I wouldn't hesitate to smoke another either.

"Milder than Hyde Park"

A true milder cigar. Compared it to Macanudo Hyde Park and CuAvana. This cigar is the mildest of the the three. Typical sweet Honduran Connecticutt aroma. Even burn. Not a lot of flavor, but some. Would buy a box for a good morning smoke.

"Great Smoke"

This is one nice cigar. More consistant than a Mac. My wife will even sit down and burn one of these with me.

"Surprisingly nice cigar, very subtle, creamy"

... is nicely constructed, smooth tan, almost biege wrapper with a very mild pre light aroma. But it lights easily and evenly and immediately develops a mild, sandy slightly spicey flavor, not complex, but quite pleasant. The first third smoked evenly, growing steadily richer, until the middle third was thick, creamy and rich, almost like a french vanilla ice cream, only without the sweetness and still dry. The last third developed the slightest buzz, but not enough to prevent immediately lighting another!

"worth the try"

i tried this smoke not because of the reviews i have read about, but the aroma i could detect from a friend of mine lighting one up. i understand everyone has different views and likes in their smoke but i do have to say, i enjoyed this smoke beginning to end. i didn't buy this cigar, it was gifted to me but i would sure as hell buy a box if i had the chance. a mild cigar with very good smoke. it had a good even burn with a rich looking ash that held strong through wind that wipped around the picnic table at work. a good solid cigar for everyday smoking.

"Not worth the money"

A lot of hype surrounded this brand upon its release a couple of years ago. Had little to no flavor then and still lacks any depth now. It's like smoking a cotton ball !

"Harsh"

I got 5 of these free with a box of tubular maduros, the maduros or good but theses naturals have a very unpleasant flavor and are quite harsh.

"Disappointed"

Cigar had nice appearance and aroma. Really nice draw. The trouble started when I lit the cigar. Could not keep it from tunneling. Could not keep it lit, either. Was in my humidor for two weeks at optimum humidity. May have just been the occasional dud, but wont chance it when there are so many other great smokes.

"The Helix Line"

I have had the pleasure of trying several lines of Helix. My favorites are the 652 Natural. I have smoked at least 3 boxes and each and every one has been a pleasure. The Helix XP for a Maduro has outstanding burn, consistency and flavor. It does not smoke as a Full Bodied cigar as most. For a shorter smoke the Cylinders and Tubos are simply "Outstanding". Helix has become my evening with coffee outside on the deck "special".

"Great draw, even burn and wonderful finish!"

Very nice smooth, flavor. Very good draw and an even burn. Beautiful white ash and no harsh aftertaste in the last 2"!!
