"Too inconsistent!"
I think these are pretty good when they're good, but not worth the money when they're bad. Unfortunately they are bad too often. I lit one up just a couple of days ago, and fought the draw all the way through , which ruins even a great cigar. They may be worth a chance from time to time, but I HATE looking forward to a nice cigar and being let down like that.

"A Great Surprise!!"
I got one of these in a sampler pack and let it sit in the humi for a couple of months. Lit up one evening and to my surprise it was fantastic...well constructed, even burn and stayed lit throughout...this has become one of my favorites. Folks rave about the Maxx but I find this to be the superior one in the Alec Bradley line.

"Good Riddance"
I bought the 7x50's a year ago and disliked them right out of the box. After a month of resting in my humidor I tried one and still bad. Six mo. no difference. Smoked the last one last night and the same result: tight draw, horribly uneven burn, sour taste. Pre-light aroma remarkably akin to horse dung.

"Tight"
I had to throw out 6 of a box of ten because I couldn't get a draw. I purchased these last summer when famous had them for cheap. They were tight to begin with and even after a year of aging they did not improve. The four I did smoke were not good sour taste, burned bad and were just harsh. I smoked one right away and smoked the other three this week.

"A nice surprise!"
I tend to shy away from darker full bodied cigars, but these were great. A lot of flavor, but not overly strong. After a box I find the construction to be consistantly good, the draw is even and they burn well. A good value too. I wish they came in boxes of 25, though that is a small complaint.

"Gary K. knows his stuff"
"This cigar is like smoking a delicious piece of chocolate cake."
To all the nitpickin Know-it-alls: Korb recomended it, I tried it, and its a dandy.(ordered some twice so far)
All Cigars are the ultimate argicultural product folks, some are hand made- some machine made but,no two are alike. A lot of hard work in the jungle heat goes into them and the people that make them work damn hard. So for better or worse I enjoy every cigar I smoke for "What it's worth" (There are always a few duds!) But isn't that the beauty of it all about CIGARS?,
It's like sleepin' with a different woman evey night- some are incredible, and some are not, but either way your'e not alone and enjoying yourself,.......aren't you?

"Nice flavor...but"
This cigar has a very nice flavor. As a matter of fact it's one of my favorites because of the flavor. However, even if the cigar is lit evenly, it still tends to run. Furthermore, the draw is a little tight. If the draw was smoother, and the burn even, this would be a top notch cigar.
