"A big boy"
A solid, powerful cigar. One of the few cigars that left me feeling its power a few hours after (can be a good or bad thing). Decent construction, good draw. Nice flavors. Not overly complex, but a solid, economical maddie. Good thick flavors of braised beef, high cacao chocolate, and cola. Not sophisticated, but a really decent, honest maddie. I will buy again for sure.

"A New Favorite"
Smoked 3 of these over the last couple of weeks and they seem to just get better with each one. Beautiful, oily dark wrapper. Tons of thick, aromatic smoke with an easy draw. Rich flavors of dark semi-sweet chocolate, espresso, cream and a touch of cedar. For a medium bodied maduro it presents a lot of rich, dense flavor without being too overwhelmingly strong. Has just a touch of sweetness which makes you want to smoke it right down to the nub. A superb value and will be a regular in my humi for sure.

"Another good Series A"
The last of the Series A for review by me. These are just a great value in a great tasting smoke. Always enjoyable, the Apocalypse the only one of the bunch I wouldn't buy again due to the burn problems.

"Bang for the Buck"
This is one of the very few cigars that I have smoked where I feel I underpaid at $2.10 a stick (for a box of 20 on CB). The characteristics are very impressive. Curb appeal, straight burn, good draw with copious smoke, and a refined cocoa taste. One of the few maduros I will smoke to nub each and every time. A guilty, but rock solid 9+ in my book.

"Excellent Value, O.k. Flavor"
Very nice price via C-Bid. Burn and draw was very good, however, there was some tunnelling experienced. The the chocolate flavor was not as strong as I would have liked, but not bad at all.

"Wow, EXTREME deal."
I was pleasantly pleased by this box of cigars. Over the past two years or so I have become quite the cigar smoker, however the cost has turned me off at times. This was by far the best deal I have ever received since the taste and draw of these cigars are amazing. I feel like a thief for what I paid for these.

"Got to have time"
You got to have time for this smoke the Apostle, at least a hour and a half, because it will take you that long to fully enjoy the experience. It is well constructed and burns evenly without hte need for a touch up. It is like a cup of mocha (chocolate/coffee/cream) that is well balance with depth. This a very very good smoke at an affordable price point.

"A consistent, enjoyable cigar."
Nice dark wrapper, excellent construction with a good burn and draw. Nice mild to medium-bodied cigar, producing lots of smoke with chocolate and molasses undertones. I have smoked a box of these and the burn and taste is very consistent. They do get better after a couple months of rest in the humidor. My only complaint about this cigar is the flavor is two dimensional, not bland but not offering any intriguing floral or spice notes either.

"holy moly"
Wow. $4 for one of the most delicious cigars I've had the pleasure of smoking in a LONG time. The burn is slow, letting me enjoy every second of the cigar's rich, toasty flavor. It won't knock me on my butt, but I'll be damned if it doesn't cure that day-long hunger for a cigar. After finishing over a box of these things, I've yet to find something about it that I don't like.
