I have a box of the #5. Your review of the 1st cigar (the better one) is in-line with what i’ve experienced with my box (I’m about half way through it). These really are great tasting cigars – creamy, carmel flavors, a bit of coffee and natural sweetnes – I thoroughly enjoy them.

I had one (Toro shaped) tonight and found this cigar to be one of the best Medium bodied cigars as far as flavour. NO BURN ISSUES at all! paid a little inflated price, but was well worth it!

Thanks doc8466,

I definitely agree on the band. It’s a work of art.

Yeah, I think this is the most different read I’ve ever gotten on the same cigar from the same place, under identical smoking circumstances. So I’m absolutely going to have to buy a few more and smoke them just to figure it out. On the plus side, it gives me a reason to do a follow up weekend video on the cigar somewhere down the road.

Great review Brian, thanks.

That band is really a piece of art. Very European Ren. I like it.

I have found that I sometimes get vastly different flavors and aromas than a majority of reviews find on some smokes, but I have yet to find differences like this in 2 cigars I smoke. I wouldn’t have thought that storage and/or shipping/travel could have such profound effects on a cigar’s aromas and flavors, but if we correctly assume that the cigars were made equally and you smoked them in similar circumstances with water each time, what else is there?
If it were me, I’d be ordering up a 5-er just to get to the bottom of this mystery.
