I couldn't even finish the first one. Good reviews! wish I would have read them first. I don’t think I’ll smoke my other one. I couldn’t even finish the first one.

Your review was spot on about the taste, and the overall quality. the first 20 minutes or so was decent, then it went downhill. Mine lost its flavor, so it became a chore smoking it. I ended up ditching it because it was so bad, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND for anyone who remotely likes smoking cigar.

Unfortunately, all of the "legitimate" cigar shops in our new town have closed down and I was left on my own to find a cigar to suit my tastes. I went to a local "discount tobacco shop" and found a surprisingly nice walk-in humidor and a broad selection of brands. I had done a bit of online research and had decided to start in the mild to medium range. I asked one of the clerks if he had any recommendations and he said that he had a couple that he preferred and a couple that had been suggested to him. I chose a Gispert Robusto and a Macanudo Hyde Park from my list, a Rocky Patel Edge Toro Corojo (the clerk's favorite), and the Drew Estate Java Maduro as a wild card. I smoked the Patel first and found it unbelievably enjoyable smoke, even though it's listed as extra full bodied. The next was the Gispert, which was a nice smoke, although I found it a bit more "peppery" than I prefer. I tried the Drew tonight while stomping around the compound after dinner and enjoyed it a lot. I agree with everything said here. Very sweet (enough so that you really don't have to light it to enjoy it). It was a very nice smoke, chocolaty and smooth and as stated above, a nice variety from the foot to the crown. I may have a problem though, as I've yet to find a cigar that I wouldn't enjoy smoking again (especially the Edge, it may be my "go to" cigar) I look forward to exploring all the varieties available and looking to the commentors here for more insight.

I thought it was hilarious and could completely understand. Racist? Since when is homo a race? Race is the way you're born, not sexual preference. You only proved your immaturity and ignorance, not Dave's. Gus, you’re on the wrong web page if you get offended by that comment. I thought it was hilarious and could completely understand.

At first blush, I was kinda taken by the sweetness, most likely to do with brain sugar receptors. However, I so enjoy the tobacco taste, and the nuance it produces, the thrill of this stick was short-lived. Brian, your review is spot-on, thanks.

What a racist comment. But I guess that just shows how ignorant he is. What an a-hole. The world doesn't need idiots like that. Grow up, Dave.
