"YES!!!"
Very good cigar!! I got the Churchill. And it’s fantastic. Strong cigar. Burned terrific!!! Taste is very good. Took a good 1-1/2 HR to get through and all worth it!!! Kinda cigar you really can relax with. The price is incredible for a cigar of this quality!!!

"Crap"
I have bought a boat load of the 6x60 of this label. I always brag on them. They were not available so I got the Churchills. I have tried to smoke about 8 so far. Three of the eight have been decent. They are so tight that you can’t get smoke out of them. I cut one in half and struggled to draw through each half. Total CRAP!

"Strong but humidified correctly= great!"
I ordered a box and humidified them most of the time at 72. After a few of these I wasnt crazy about them but when they were humidified consistently well at 72-73% for a few months, I started to develop a taste for these and the flavor was unbelievable. They turned out to be one of the best cigars on my list. Very strong but delicious.

"Mediocre"
I was curious about this cigar after seeing it promoted in Famous Cigar's catalog, and I surfed some other sites for reviews, hoping to find a diamond in the rough for the price. This cigar has a hard draw, harsh flavor and uneven burn. For the money buy the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend maduro instead.

"Look better than they taste"
These are ok, but that's it. I was a little disappointed in the taste of these cigars. Probably will opt for other choices at this point.

"Superb"
These sticks possess all of the richness and sweet flavor of a Maduro balanced with the mildness of a Connecticut. Truly a great cigar at a very reasonable price. I recomend a low humidity setting of 60-65 percent to avoid bitterness.

"A mystery to me ..."
It is truly a mystery to me how these cigars could be rated only one point lower than a Padron 3000.
After going through a box of these, I can't think of a single reason to ever buy any more. The taste is lousy, the burn and draw inconsistent .. It was very common to have them canoe - badly.
I'll stick with the Regular or Limited Edition La Floriditas ... they're worth the money, but these, so-called "fuerte" ( I say 'harsh' would be a better descrition) just aren't up to the task.

"Stunning!"
I was mysteriously drawn to these without ever reading a review or tasting one. I won them on auction. I tasted a stick immediately upon receipt and was knocked out by the intensity of warmth and earthiness. I then put them to sleep for 3-4 weeks and they are now just beautiful cigars. They are constructed perfectly. The burn is perfect. No canoes. The taste starts out with a little kick of spice and then the myriad of flavors coat your taste buds. I stick with the Churchill because it's a good 90 minute experience. If you're looking for a full body, full flavored experience, buy these...baby them..and smoke 'em up and then have buyer's remorse that you didn't buy 2 boxes instead of one.
