What a horrible smoke. Picked up a box of these on special from cigar.com last week, expecting something at least as good as a Cinco Vegas. I was utterly disappointed. Not only are these gars funny smelling and unattractive, they have terrible draw and brittle wrappers. I expect “weekly special” cigars from JRCigars to come in this shape, but not cigars from cigar.com, which usually has far superior quality. I suspect it had been so long since someone ordered these crap gars that they just sat in cigar.com’s warehouse for years and years until they finally decided to dust them off. I sincerely wish I didn’t have 23 more of these to smoke. Avoid these at all costs.
[rate: 3.5]

After smoking five or six more of these, I’ve come to appreciate them a bit more. They are very good “drunk” gars. If I were to review them again today, I’d give them a 5.0. Still dismal, but not “horrible.”
These aren’t horrible…. BUT they’re loosely packed, and my box was pretty dried out. Thus they burn like a Xmas tree in July…The construction is good. The wrapper is paper thin. Flavors of pine and jalapenos and the finish is bitter. I’d rate these a solid 5, as Señor Dinero Bolsas did in his re-review.
