"Great Consistency"
Most consistent cigar I have smoked over the last five years. Haven't had a bad one yet. This cigar is robustly satisfying and the price is right.

"Great old favorite"
Nice peppery full bodied smoke. Kinda like a good older bird dog; may not look like much, but damn that dog can hunt!

"Superb Value and Flavor"
I've smoked the Brevas Conservas on and off for many years and loved them for appearance, flavor and price. I received this Toro (aka Senator) in a GC sampler, and loved it from the first puff. Big "mouth" of rich, full flavored smoke. Easy, even burning. No hot burn or harshness to it. I don't even get the "pepper" others do. Just robust dominican ligero flavor inside that signature oily wrapper. I agree that this is not the "full flavor" some might be expecting. I consider Oliva O maduros to be FULL flavor. So Henry Clay's might not live up to your expectations. And the Brevas Conservas don't have the girth to deliver the heavier blast. But try a Toro 50x6. I believe you'll get the unique flavor and the fullness you're looking for, and at an excellent price.

"Pass the pepper!"
Henry Clays have been a favorite of mine for more than 10 years now. Beautiful, oily wrappers contain a hearty, peppery taste. The 'bang-for-buck' value is tremendous, and the rich history of this brand (once produced in Cuba) is worth looking into.

"Good Cigar with great taste"
I purchased one of these a couple of days ago, and WOW! It was a great smoke. I tasted great and never had a harsh taste. The burn was even and it was quite enjoyable. Will buy again.

"Great Cigar"
Tried my first one the other day. Wow. Thick smoke
Lingering taste. Lush. Smoke it slow. A cigar that will relax you. Not for those who like a mild smoke. Left me feeling like I smoked a cigar.
P.S. I liked the wrapper and construction

"Henry Clay cigars are my favorite!"
Henry Clay does it again. I have always enjoyed Breva Conservas and Breva Finas, but Toro is just as good or better. Lots of peppery flavor, with an outer wrapper that burns great, does not allow for an uneven burn. A little rough in looks sometimes, in that all are not exactly round or look the same. But looks for cigars, can be deceiving (like women).

"Tasty"
Stronger than I normally like, but really tasty, alittle peppery, nice finish.

"Yummy!"
A great tasting cigar...You almost want to lick the wrapper..Very peppery and bold...Occasional construction problems (Wrapper unraveling, canoeing (burning on one side))..Finish is somewhat consistent...gets a bit harsher at the end (which is expected of course with all cigars) but only enhances the peppery taste...I like 'em a lot!...If you've never tried one, purchase a single or two before buying an entire box..You really have to enjoy full-bodied cigars to enjoy this one.
