Humidor My Samplers

A very smooth but rich smoke. No bitterness, all taste. It has a strong flavor but no sting to it. Very nice! Deck plant is brittle, and the band is glued to the deck. If you want to remove the band you will damage the wrapping, which I find a negative feature because I like to save the band from all cigars I've smoked. Otherwise it's a nice looking cigar, which smokes well. Also train is mediocre and the cigar burns really easilly, straight. The price is cheapish for such a big cigar and offers excellent price-performance ratio. Full recommendations!

Superb price/quality ratio! Very rich smoke with close to earth flavors. A bit loosely rolled, so smoke comes really easy. Train is not perfect, my cigar burned a bit off after first half. Very easy to light up. Last half builds up some bitter tastes, but not as bad as most of the cigars in same price category so still a positive feedback. Large cap makes cutting very easy. So far the best quality&price ratio I've seen so I highly recommend this cigar if you look a low-priced but still a high quality cigar. Just take the laft half with caution, the cigar build up bitter taste after first half quite fast.

One of the best cigars price/performance wise. Cheap, but good looking and really smooth cigar. The taste intensifies while you smoke it and get more and more rich until the end. Burns straight and the train is just right. The tase and quality competes chest-to-chest against cigars that are 3-5 times more expensive! A real find, buy them and try them!

A good, bit spicy aroma. Burns well and even. Excellent cigar for it's price.

A good low-price Dominican. First a bit too bitter but settles fast. Smokes nice but burns a bit uneven. Very good price/performance quality.

Quality exceeds the price. A very cheap but quite high quality cigar. The taste has more flavors than I expected, but of course not as much as some of the best cigars. Builds up bitter taste on the last third, so end smoking in time. Excellent combustion behavior, the train is easy and it burns straight. I recommend.

A basic Nicaragua cigar. Nothing too bad or good about the taste. Train / Burn is also good. Burns straight and is easy to smoke (and cut). The taste has nothing special compared to the medium of other Nicaragua cigars from same price class. It has a deep, spicy flavor without bitterness. A good, affordable cigar. Recommended for every-day smoker, if you look for premium just go for a step higher cost class.

Excellent cigar. Very nice, deep flavor. The train and smoke is brilliant. Hard to believe this cigar doesnt cost more. Highly recommended, even for a daily smoker!

Very good quality and taste. A bit shorter burn-time compared to normal robusto, this is sometimes a good thing when you cant spend that much time burning the cigar. Only one minus: The band is glued to deck leaf so if you take off the band you might peel of some of the leaf... Overall, this cigar is a keeper in my humidor!

A bargain cigar but good quality. I enjoyed the taste and the cigar had no problems with burn. Recommended.

REVIEW EDIT 8.8.2012: I dont change the review yet, but I just want to write this out. The latest batch of these cigars I received have some CRITICAL train & burn issues. I havent been able to make these cigars burn straight at all. If I put them down for 10 seconds they go out. I need to be burning them constantly. And when I say CRITICAL train & burn issues I mean it's the worst case I've ever seen. Consider WARNED! The original review is below: First the problems: Deck plant was very brittle, it broke before I even cut the cigar. Deck plant mostly peeled off before the cigar was burned 1/3... Then the good things: The taste is exactly what I love. A bit sweet, charred chocolade... Who doesnt like chocolade taste, right? After burning the cigar I've left with a really nice sweet flavor in my mouth. So, the taste was great! Also it was very easy to smoke, maybe the easiest smoking cigar I've tasted. There was a bit of problems with the burning, though. The cigar didnt want to burn straight and this went pretty bad at the last third. Excellent cigar in it's price group. Even though it had serious deck issues and it didnt burn perfectly straight I give it a great quality score; one of the best price/quality ratio cigars I've burned!

Very high quality cigar, but low price. Smooth and enjoyable smoke. Train is just right and the cigar burns correctly. Highly recommended!

Excellent price/performance ratio. Good looks, including a nice band. Very enjoyable taste up until half way, then it starts to build up bitterness and last third isnt too good anymore. But that's how it goes with all the cheapish cigars. Recommended!

Superb quality. Very smooth taste. Well wrapped and price/taste ratio is really good. Not a very big cigar but the taste really makes it all up against bigger same priced cigars. Great!
