"Decent Smoke"
I got this one as a gift for buying a 10-pack of VdS PUROS. The PUROS are aging in my humi, will let you know in a couple of months how they score. This one is a simple good smoke, mild, burn very, very well, firm body, no harsh and very nice amounts of smoke. A mild Fonseca robusto may be a good comparison. Can't beat the price, ~$2 per stick including shipping.

"Nice surprise"
Nice, mellow smoke. Burned even, slightly uneven. Lasted 45 mins. Great value.
I ordered off their website.

"hmmmm"
A pretty cigar, with a beautifully shiny shade grown wrapper. The construction feels pretty solid. I had no problems with the draw. The flavor was mild & somewhat charry. I only smoked about a third (BTW I have smoked 2 or 3 of these w/pretty much the same result).

"Great for $2.00"
I have no idea what these taste like right out of the box, but after 6 months in the humidor, these are really enjoyable. Many sweet notes throughout this mild cigar. Draw was great and the burn was really decent. The last inch became pretty hot and therefore a little harsh, but I just put it out at about the 1" mark and called it a smoke. Overall, for the price, I really liked it. You probably need to age these since many have rated this down. I am not sure what all the fuss is about?!

"Very mild"
This was the second cigar from a sample of six. The first one was not that good, so I was hoping this robusto would be better...NOT! I am really glad that I didn't pay much for these sticks because so far they aren't worth the postage to have them shipped to your house. Came in a nice looking box though.

"Best Value"
I ordered from the site, they paid the postage.
I smoked the first one, from there I wenmt through the rest in about three days. This is a great smoke, I do not know where the sweetness and spiciness comes from but you need to jump on these before they are $9 per stick. A true value.

"what I expected"
A simple smoke, good construction but on two the draw was a little uneven. Left a paper-like taste in my mouth, I think I should have aged them longer.

"Complex cigar"
The cigar is wrapped with ceder and elegantly constructed. A little grassy beginning evolves into creamy richness and constant variation. The cigars get better with age and is an execellent value for money cigar, mild but tasty.
