This cigar just feels right - firm well-packed and I like the box-pressed shape. Great taste from first puff to last stayed lit even when I thought I'd let it go out.

Very sorry to report but my absolute favorite cigar of all time (Flatheadl) have since dropped to the point that I may need to find a new cigar...not happy. Since last year when they reached #2 on Cigar Aficionado the rush on them spiked and the cigar has fallen. I get about 3 or 4 out of every box of 24 that have burn problems such as the center of the cigar has a hole like a chimney and it burns like a hot fire. I have complained to JR Cigar a few times and it was like talking to my cat...nothing!

My friend and I went to a cigar lounge and we both pick this one up as a single. We came straight out of humidor and sat there with our cigars. He clipped his end off I hole punched mine. I had a good draw his was a little off. We both had to relight in the 1st third and again in the 2nd third. We both like a bold cigar and this seemed to fit. Good construction. Both had a one side favoritism burn so played catch up from halfway through the first to halfway through the 2nd third. Spicy on the last third. My friend didn't get to his last third it died again. I got two puffs into last third and it went out also. Good construction no peeling cracks or stems poking out. Paid $8.50. Can't say I would by this again. Both enjoyed the 660 though. That's why we gave the 554 a try.

I forgot how good this one is. I got a 5-pack during a sale and I had to try one immediately. I bought them to put in my “good” humidor box where I save them for some special occasion but it will be hard to keep from dipping into there. For a medium to full-bodied cigar it is surprisingly smooth but still bold. I taste chocolate and spice in there but I haven’t identified the rest of the flavors yet. The ashes stay on for a very long time and it is well packed. It has a firm draw without being unpleasant. I know everyone’s taste is different but for me this is a delicacy of a smoke and is in my top 10 for sure. Maybe top five.

I adore the Flathead line. Personal fave is the 660, as it seems to last forever. The 770 is just s bit too big for my tastes. The 554 is an awesome, more subtle version of the 660. Still slow-burning and long lasting, but with a somewhat tighter and more focused taste and smoke output. All the regular Flatheads have a severe box press shape, which I have grown to love. They are perfect for a punch cut. High pleasure, and high value too. Rick Rodriguez has nailed it here!

Really been enjoying these. Got a 5 pack to try them out and they’ve become my newest favorite after looking for something cheaper than what I was smoking daily.
Wrapper is nice and oily the way I like it. Work great for a punch cut, which is very convenient for traveling since my punch is already on my keychain and a few of my lighters. Taste is outstanding with some really nice chocolate flavors throughout. Smoke is nice and thick and I actually really like the squareness of the box press as it holds well in the hand and gives nice good surface area to hold with my mouth so I can still use my hands while doing things around the yard/garage.
Haven’t pulled the trigger on a box yet, but will definitely do so when I deplete my stash a little.

A unique concept, unique shape, and unique flavor make this robusto a very special smoke. A mix of 3 different vintage tobaccos all covered by a dark premium Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper give this cigar a smooth yet spicy touch. A terrific medium to full body smoke for the cigar and car aficionado. Packaged in a box of 24.
