Draw is great nine times out of 10 well constructed not too harsh and remains good until the finish. Excellent value!

very good but delivered a little dry from jr. even with the humidity pack in the bag. im sure its more difficult to humidify a building than something you can pick up in your hands but i've gotten a few shipments that were a little dry from jr. like the maduro a little better. you can light from the included cedar which is kind of cool.

Always loved this stick. Turned my buddies onto them 20 years ago and it's still my go-to cigar. Pretty consistent with a nice even burn; mild to medium with that cocoa/coffee taste you hear about on other reviews. Price has creeped up over the years which is a disappointment but better than paying $7-$8 a 'gar for others in this category.

This is fine smoke. Even burn nice flavor easy draw. Just what you want when you buy a low priced smoke. JR Cigars hasn't missed the mark with this one...

These cigars are far superior to the big name brand cigars that I've been smoking at twice the price! Everything has been consistent draw flavor and oh so smooth. For the price these are the best!

I haven't had this cigar in many years. It's gotten a little pricey and I've been smoking smaller rings of late. I wasn't sure if I'd still like this cigar but man I love it. Bought the box on sale and couldn't be happier

Ok set your expectations correctly and this isn't bad. It rates low on the dog poo scale. The consistency of the Tobacco roll creates an inconsistent ash. The smoke is good and abundant and the taste can be a bit harsh at first and mellows toward the middle. Overall it's not bad it's also not a $8+ cigar and nor should it be.

This is a surprising cigar. I usually go for higher-end types but I got a box of these on one of the JR auctions. These compete with any expensive brand in terms of smoothness and flavor. They look great and taste great. Very very good cigar.

These are consistent well made cigars. They have an easy draw and produce a good amount of smoke. They have a tasty wrapper and are mild to medium to me. For under five bucks a stick you can't go wrong.

A great tasting cigar and a very affordable price! No issues with construction, burn, or draw. Great flavor. I would call this a medium body, not medium to full.

I purchased these on a free-fall auction for around 40% off of the discounted JR price. Probably wouldn’t pay full price for them though. Good draw, very mellow, didn’t need re-lit. Smoked ROTT.

These cigars are the best $4-5 dollar cigars on the market. Great taste and even burn. Flavor doesn't change all the way down to the nub. This cigar is on the medium side of medium-full strength.

Shipped from JR pretty dry. Not terrible harsh or acrid but not great tasting either. Maybe tobacco is a little young or they are inconsistent based on the excellent reviews here. Liked the maduro a lot. Better options out there even at this price.

So since my last review this cigar has found it's way from 67 to 85 dollars for a box. I will still say bang for buck it is still a very good cigar but there are now other options just as good if not better given this latest price point.... In my opinion the Rocky Patel seconds are one example. I also found that this latest box did not have the same consistency in flavor as the other half dozen boxes I've ordered.

Overall the best cigar out there - flavor taste consistency construction. If I could only buy one cigar for the rest of my life it would be this one. My only regret is they don't make it in maduro anymore.

Beautiful oily wrapper with a barnyard and cocoa aroma. Good construction and burn. Good consistency of flavors of a sweet tobacco and creamy coffee and cedar. Definitely a great perk for such a great cigar at a wallet friendly price.
