"The are absolutely excellent!"
Several long reviews are already on file so I won't go into super depth on these. Suffice it to say that these are absolutely excellent smokes. They remind me of the Nic 6000 (my favorite FSS House Cigar) but are creamier and sweeter (due to the Conn. wrapper no doubt). Without a doubt they are a "steal" at the listed price...and when they come up on the Monster they are totally without peer as a "best buy" cigar. They taste and smoke far better than most boxed cigars and represent a major coup for FSS over all other vendor's house smokes. Congrats to all at FSS and my thanks!

"Outstanding Cigar"
I got a bundle of these cigars a couple of days ago. I couldn't wait to try one out, so I broke my "30 days in the humidor" rule and went for it. The cigar looks great. It smells awfully good as well. After cutting off the cap, I was pleased to find a perfect draw (from my perspective, not tight but not too loose either). The pre-light draw had a slight sweetness to it. The cigar smelled great while I was toasting the foot. It had a very smooth, slightly sweet taste with a hint of nuts. It had a nice, long finish. The taste maintained throughout the first third of the cigar. The second third of the cigar got a little more complex/spicy yet maintained its "creaminess" and sweetness. The last third of the cigar remained very pleasant. It was, essentially, little different then the middle third of the cigar. It never got bitter or harsh. I smoked this cigar right down to the nub.
The construction and draw were flawless.
I rated the taste at 80 simply because I didn't quite think it was a 90. I would have rated it an 88 if the rating scale permitted.
The cigar is just to the mild side of medium with a great deal of taste (to my palate). Personally, I think this cigar is best enjoyed with a cup of joe or a light beer or wine.
I am very happy with this purchase. I am definitely buying more and would definitely recommend.
