Good review. I smoked a lot of these when I was first starting out as they were included in a lot of samplers. But I haven't had one in quite some time. I might have to remedy that.

One thing I forgot to mention about this cigar line. They also come in a lonsdale size, which SHOULD be my favorite, since I love lonsdales. But for some reason, the lonsdales aren't that great. And they need a lot more humidor time. I recently contemplated throwing a box of lonsdales away. No joke. Luckily I gave them one last chance, smoked one, and decided to keep them.

That cigar was about 3 yrs old.

Smoking another one of these toros now. I believe these are the only (non-belicoso) cigar I still smoke with a RG higher than 50.

The wrapper on this one isn't visually perfect, but it doesn't affect the flavor at all. These are also a very slow burning cigar. Total burn time from light to 1" was 1 hr, 25 min. So with a length of 6.5", it took an hour and a half to burn 5.5".

A couple of minor burn corrections.

My friends...the price-to-value ratio on these cigars is off the charts. Especially if you score them on C-Bid. For an everyday smoke, these are top tier.

Ditto. Been quite a bit since I smoked one.

Have to revisit.
