"Good but not great"

I read the reviews and figured at the price was worth a try. It’s an average to below average smoke at a fairly decent price, something to have to pass to friends who are not serious cigar folks or for times when you are ok with a cheaper stick. These are the ones you hand out at the summer picnic to any and all takers who don’t know what a premium cigar is and are judging it against their last gas station smoke. Draw is ok, a bit uneven burn, canoeing is frequently seen. They tend to unravel a bit so reminiscent of a machine filled stick and that’s with a V cut. Flavor is a bit of a disappointment especially given initial aroma. Last 1/4 tends to turn bitter at times. At the price you get what you pay for more or less. There are other value labels that deliver more all around for the money.

"Not very good"

These cigars were very disappointing they are very loosely rolled , they draw easy but you cant get any smoke out of them. They will burn down the center of the cigar and not on the outside. Never saw a cigar that did this. Will not be buying anymore of these.

"Bring back the Madora in theses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Bring back the Madora in theses !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Super Great Cigar !!!"

BUY-EM and TRY-UM !!!!!!!!!!

"Could get a hernia trying to draw this one !"

I've never been so disappointed in a stick . Can't find a single good thing to say about this one and I have enjoyed other MAroma's immensely. Could be these are just wrapped too tight ? Whatever, it has been a total disappointment.I'll give other Maroma's a chance but will stay clear of this one.

"Wouldn't recommend."

The top of my drawbacks for this cigar is the poor/uneven burn. I have now smoked 11 out of the box and have experienced the same poor burn. The rest of the ratings draw, appearance, etc.. fell into the 80's.

"Wow! What a nice surprise!"

This is a great cigar. I love the flavor. A highly under-rated cigar. I hope FSS never stops carrying this cigar.

"Better options available"

I was convinced enough by all the favorable reviews to buy a box of these. What a mistake. These are on par with Garcia Vegas and other pre-sliced cigars you might buy at a drug store. The one cigar I tried had an uneven burn and a lousy taste. On the plus side the draw is good and the construction decent. Hopefully some time in my humidor will make these more smokable. I would say to avoid these and go with the Flor De Olivas, which are about the same price.

"One of the Best"

I have to agree with Anthony from texas. This is without a doubt, one of the best, most relaxing cigars that I have smoked in my 67 yrs. (he's got me by two yrs)..I still like the Robusto, but the lonsdale just smokes better!! I could go on and on, but cigar smokers that have already tried the Maroma line, already know. If you doubt this review, go buy any expensive lonsdale. Then beg, borrow or order a Maroma lonsdale. You be the judge. In the mean time, Anthony and I will be enjoying. By the way, please consider all negative reviews. Gives us more time. Enjoy!!

"Try something better...not very impressed"
