This cigar is by far my favorite value cigar. It is very creamy and burns well. Occasionally I do have the wrapper come apart ever so slightly, nothing major.

Highly recommend as a value cigar.

Only smoked a few of these. My last one was so impressive that I purchased ten more today. What impressed me was the spiciness from the get go. The smallness of the package delied the complexity of the smoke.

This sounds like a nice value cigar. Could it give the ever popular Sancho Panza Double Maduro a run for its money flavor and value wise?

Kirk, I definitely think that the quality of the roll has an impact on the burn rate, and consistency of a cigar.

I think perfectos are probably more susceptible to burn problems than other cigars, but it doesn’t stop me from buying them.

Brian – I just picked up some of these the other week and I’m glad you guys did this review. Very surprised that it last as long as it did. Do you think that goes to how well the cigar is made? I guess my question is more does how the cigar is rolled have any impact on the burn rate of a cigar?

I think Jerry pointed out in a past review about the perfecto shape cigars not burning well straight. Do you find this problem as well?

Nice review. I love this cigar – last smoked a robusto size and found this to be a wonderful 45-50 minute smoke. I just picked up a few churchill sizes and am anxious to light one up.

Great smoke for only a couple bucks!!!

Jeremy, the was actually my first Serie G but it certainly won’t be my last. Great little smoke for just over half of an hour, if you’re looking for more I would go with the perfecto.
