"...very nice..."
I received a few of these in a sampler pack and hesitated in trying it from past bad experience with flavour infused cigars. This cigar looked like a cigar, not a loose bundle of scraps like some others. The exterior was uniform in texture and colour and had a ragged foot. The wrapper was satin and the cigar felt firm. The aroma and pre-light draw were very nice - a hint of sweetness. The flavour was mild sweet coffee/chocolate - tasted like a cigar first - flavour second which was nice. The burn was even, tons of smoke, leaving a firm white ash. The taste was consistent to the nub - no bitterness at all. I usually smoke medium/full flavour cigars - this was a pleasant departure, though, the price point exceeds what I normally smoke.

"Great, but apparently too strong for me."
I love the smaller versions of these. The tin cigarillos and petit corona size have been regulars for me for a few years now. So, I tried these and I guess they are just way too heavy for me. I have not been able to get through a single one of the robustos. They make me really sick like some kind of little kid trying my first cigar or something, heh. They taste superb, just as I would expect from the Tabak line, but I guess it s just too heavy a smoke for me.

"Yuck!"
Was not impressed - regardless of the high ratings...The taste was that of some cheap flavored cigar...Left a nasty aftertaste after each draw...Caused a funky cocoa odor in my humidor...Came in a 5 pack sampler - I tossed the other 4 in the trash.

"My favorite..... so far!"
Just started smoking cigars seriously about two months ago. Have tried about 20 different cigars from mild to full. Tabak Especial burns great, tastes great from start to finish, draws very easy and keeps it shape throughout the smoking. I love this cigar!

"Best out there..."
Most flavored cigars are mediocre at best. This cigar is a big exception. I'm crazy about the flavor of this one. It's simply is delicious and satisfying,

"Delightful!"
I got my first one in a sampler, since then I've purchased more and will continue to do so. These are always in my Humidor.

This stick was a real treat. Right off the bat, the smoke smelled great lighting it. The draw was super smooth, and wide open. With tastes of chocolate, coffee, and toasted marshmallow, all you need is to stick it between a couple graham crackers. The ragged foot is a bit odd at first look, but it really makes sense with the feathery smoke given off. The burn was even and slow. On an interesting side note, this is the first cigar I ve smoked and actually felt a buzz off of. If you like Drew Estate, coffee, or chocolate, don t miss out on this one. Just amazing!
