"A decent cigar."
I bought a box of these on a special and I don't think they are outstanding but they are pretty good with a medium flavor. I think this size has more diminsion then the larger robusto size which I thought had zero flavor. I would buy these again and they have a good mild flavor without any harshness and have a fantasic draw. Lots of smoke and a good mild but medium flavor.

"Stinky stinky"
I don't know what's goin' on here...this is the second cigar I've had in the past month that has left me stinky-fied This cigar has a "dirty" taste to it and I kept getting hit with odors that I found sort of offensive. Overall, the burn was decent but I had a bad canoe at about the halfway point. Torched it, and it corrected itself well. Got this one at half-price. For that, it was worth the money. At regular price I'd say nah.

"Pretty good."
Bought a couple of these on clearance at my local - and was plesantly suprised. I like full bodied gars - this one is not - but the mild-medium toasty flavor caught my buds. The few that I've had started pretty slow, but grow to a good tasting smoke. Would never be my daily, but a good change for the money.

"Beauty is only wrapper deep."
Great looking wrapper and pre-light aroma create great expectations which are short lived. The RA Brioso is a good middle of the road cigar offering a woodsy, charry/toasty, medium bodied and unmemorable flavor. Better smokes for the $$$.

"has it's place"
worth a try for a couple bucks as it's an even smoke, it does burn tight with a little hard draw, than holds an ash does need relights into last third' a good long drive cigar, with coffee, or golf course cigar with beer.....

"it was ok"
I bought one of those Ramon vs Sancho packs. Nice way to try different cigars. The price was right but don't know if I'll have again. Medium draw, nice burn. Smooth and creamy medium flavor. Overall not bad, but there are a lot better in this price range.

"Surprisingly Good"
Got this stick at the Vegas Big Smoke in November, let it sit for 6 months before trying it. Frankly, it reminded me of an Opus X -- not nearly as good, but a similar style. For the money, seems like a contender to me.

"Not the Ramones"
A medium smoke. Ash was bright orange and burnt my tongue, so I turned it around and smoked it from the other end. This cigar had a good draw and consistant flavor of strong decaf instant coffee, with a green tea undertone. A real "fortune cookie" this one. Great with Chinese food.

"Wasn't impressed"
Wasn't impressed with the cigar, it's not what I remembered it tasting like during the '90s. This has a burnt coffee taste that lingered on the palate well after the smoke. Not one I would try again.
