"Terrible burn issues"

I have smoke about a box of these. Even after about 3-4 months of rest they needed several touchups throughout the smoke. Flavor was great if the burn issues was not an issue it would be a good stick.

"Great cigar for the money."

I bought a box of these immediately after they become #1 on Cigar Aficionado's list and another about 6-8 months later. The first box was fantastic and had the characteristics you would expect of a premium cigar. The second box was a different story; some didn't have the flavor I was expecting, many didn't burn evenly and the overall quality was lower. The Prensado's from the first box were excellent and they immediately became one of my favorite cigars. I'm guessing their popularity resulted in some corners being cut to meet demand.

"Completely underwhelmed."

The first Prensado Churchill was a gift from a friend. I chose a windy night next to the outdoor fireplace to give it a try. Unfortunately that wasn't ideal. Ordered some Churchills and Robustos to give it a second chance. After 30 days in my humidor, I gave it a second try last night. The burn was terrible. Just terrible. No flavor at all until halfway through.

"My faith in AB is Restored!"

AB has always been one of my favorite smokes. I was very upset with the AB Prensado Chuchill. I was contacted by AB and sent some replacement smokes. I smoked the Gran Toro and it was truly magnificent. Good bun all the wat to the nub. Wonderfully flavor that stayed good all the way. Thanks for the service Mike VP with AB

"Tremendous Disappointment!"

I first purchased a test flight on this brand and thought it was great and agreed that this was something very special. I purchased a box of Churchills to share with my buddies and after many efforts smoking this cigar I would not give it a 56 rating let alone the 96 it recieved from cigar afficiando. Terrible burn issues

"Great Smoke"

This cigar is one of the best I have smoked. The cigar itself is gorgeous to look at, and it has a very satisfying flavor. The only thing bad I have to say about this cigar is that I seem to have trouble with is keeping it lit and getting an even burn. I find myself having to re-light this cigar if I don't draw on it frequently. Other than that, this cigar is almost perfect, I would highly recommend this cigar to anyone who enjoys a cigar.

"Bad Burner"

I must be crazy but I have problems with the burn of this one. Cigar is beautiful and tastes good not great. I like the Prensado but I think it is far from being the best cigar out this year according to C.A.

"Rich full body cigar"

Powerful, rich full body cigar. With leather and espresso flavors. Beautiful construction with wrapper that is silky smooth. Pair it with single malt scotch and you will be in Nirvana!

"No wonder this cigar was Cigar Aficionado's #1!"

This cigar is one of the best that I've smoked in a long time. It is NO WONDER why Cigar Aficionado named this the #1 cigar for 2011! You can't go wrong with any Alec Bradley product in my opinion! Keep up the good work Alan and company!

"2 hour waste"

I bought these on sale a while back and aged them for 6 months to ensure they would ben a great smoke. Visually they are stunning . Sadly they are the worst waste of money spent yet. Tough draw and no flavor. Typically with a churchill July would expect things to develop slowly. Well they were bland all the way through. No wonder they were discounted. Take it from an avid cigar enthusiast, these are drek
