"Treat It Right and It Treats You Right"
Bought this gem in the CT sampler pack (LOVE the tobacco we grow here). Construction was solid. The draw was super smooth. The light and burn was a tad finicky--bt nothing major. Plumes of creamy smoke. After the first 1/3 of the cigar, this baby takes off. Hazelnut notes, a great full body, and the nub has notes of amaretto. You MUST smoke it slowly. This is a tempermental cigar that will go bad if you're puffing on it every 10 seconds. Light it well, draw slow--and it's a great smoke.

"Best I've Had in Awhile!"
If you havent tried Lot 23, you need to get your hands on one now! Found it to be a mild to medium. Perfect burn, smooth, creamy, and better than most sticks twice the cost of these! and at $4 a stick can't argue that! I highly recommend these to anybody and I'm going to get a box right away!

"Solid value and a good overall smoke"
I'm generally pleased with both taste and texture. Don't see it being an everyday smoke, but a pleasant diversion for a solid 40 minutes. Price is right and despite the need to trim up the burn a couple of times, an easy smoke to like.

"A little inconsistent"
I tried this cigar twice in a sample pack. My impression was that it was creamy smooth with an herbal overtone. I loved it and bought a box. Unfortunately almost every cigar in the box had a problem: burned out early, uneven burn, tasted like crap,,,,, you name. Hope this was a one in a million problem.

"Did not dissapoint..."
I thought I try the Lot 23 from a sampler pack I bought. It looked like a nice well constructed short smoke. Out of the wrapper, it was firm and smelled good. Nice oily wrapper. First light was smooth and it drew perfectly. Lots of creamy smoke, cool and full of spice and earth. Flawless burn with a nice medium kick. I would consider a box of these, for the price I could imagine myself smoking a bunch of them.

"Pleased and surprised"
I received this cigar in a Perdomo medium flavor sample pack, and found it to be a fine smoke. The Connecticut shade wrapper, combined with Nicaragua filler creates a milder, but pleasing smoke for between meals. I did notice a buttery aftertaste, which was pleasing and surprising. Rich bellowing smoke adds to the overall experience, and there is an even, consistent burn, nice draw, and long gray ash.

"Mild smooth cigar - kind of boring"
I got two of these in a sampler. The burn and draw were good. Otherwise this was kind of a boring, mild smooth cigar. It did not have a lot of complex flavors.
