"A complex and enjoyable cigar"
I had many of these so far and they always astonish me with their complexity and quality. The body is medium and flavors are cream, caramel, chocolate, leather, cedar, and spices. Every puff seems to bring something new. Outstanding.

"Standing ovation"
I’m not rich, not even close but we all deserve to treat ourselves. This is that cigar. VSG is amazing as well but the ESG is a lot more complex. Very smooth, little pepper on the finish. One of the greatest I have ever smoked.

"Money Talks!!!"
About as fine as it gets. Med-full strength, but it s so smooth, you don t care. Just wish I could hit the lottery to make this my daily smoke. Even the box is a work of art.

"Awesome!!"
These are great smooth cigars. Not as strong as the VSG's but very good. Defineatly worth the price. You will not be dissappointed.

"Worth every penny!"
I had a friend hook me up with one of these. Within minutes, I could tell it was special. I since have bought a box and have enjoyed 3 so far. Wow, great draw, smoke and burn. Flavor is medium with deep aromas and lots of spice. nicely packed and hold a very long white ash. consitant burn and flavors throughout. Smoke this all the way to the end
it is that enjoyable. Yes, there is some $ here but it does not disappoint. Cognac or Scotch is the perfect companion! Just Do It!!!!

"Second Review - This is the one"
I have to review this cigar again. After smoking this one a while ago, i smoked and tried many cigars in hopes of finding something as good for cheaper. I found quite a few good stogies along the way and have collected quite a few. Tonight i lit up this 23 yr salute for only the 2nd time and there is no denying this cigar is perfect in every way. Flavor, Burn, Construction, the smoke is just magical. This is the one. If you have the means to try one or many, please do. I've rated a few cigars in the low 90's but this one is 100 - perfect accross the board.

"Did not disappoint"
High price cigars have a tendancy to disappoint, but this one did not. Smoked it down as far as it would go. Excellent aroma and flavor - seemed like medium body to me. The wrapper had a sheen to it which told me it had been well aged, although very fragile so be careful with these. Gave one to a friend and when we were done we wanted another. Wish i could afford to buy more!
