It is important to keep in mind that everyone's palate is different. The Cubao maduro is signifcantly more strong than the natural. It is of no surprise to me that many people who enjoy the natural are not as fond of the maduro....just as many people I know love mild to medium cigars that to me have little or no taste. I found the Cubao maduro to be packed full of flavor and spice; not just raw strength that you find with some of the new cigars on the market whose purpose is to exploit the current trend towards fuller bodied cigars. I rarely respond to any reviews I read on-line, but I would hate for people to neglect trying this cigar based on one review from someone whose palate is probably much different than their own.I think this is an incredible cigar on whole for those of us who enjoy cigars that are full of flavor and spice.

If he does not enjoy a cigar he has the balls to come out and say it even if some of the people in the industry who he likes to be friends with will not be happy with him. TRUTH brother of the leaf thats what we want to hear... even if the manufacturer sends you box after box of samples give us the stone cold brutal truth. Thats what we luv about the Great Torpedo.

It's disappointing to come across an anticipated cigar to be disappointed. As for aging, if it's uneventful now, it'll probably be uneventful later. Aging cigars mellows them out and sometime allows more of the subtle flavors to blossom. I'm no expert, but I'm learning from the tobacconist here. Like some say, "A bad cigar will always be a bad cigar." And based on your review of this cigar, I don't think it would be worth my time in trying to age it, Too bad on the cigar.

First, in the video I said I BOUGHT these from W.Curtis Drapers. They were not samples. Second, like with any review (unless we say otherwise) I smoked 4 of these for this review. Third, I have on good authority that you handle the Miami Cigar Co Twitter account so your comment seems a bit biased. But in case my sources are wrong, its cool to disagree but there is no need to call into question our review process just because you don't agree. Your comment could've ended after the second sentence. John – You obviously didn’t watch the review or didn’t pay attention to the review or any of our reviews.

I thought this was a great cigar, with rich flavors of cocoa and some spice. I'm wondering how many you smoked for the review? One, two three? Where did you get your samples? I've had a handful of these, and they've all been really nice. I completely disagree. I thought this was a great cigar, with rich flavors of cocoa and some spice.
