"Draw was way too tight"
Did not enjoy this cigar at all. The flavor was actually not bad, but the draw was ridiculously tight. Even with a reamer I could barely pull through this cigar. It barely produces any smoke, and having to work so hard on the draw made it bitter at the end. I have smoked 4 of a 5 pack that I ordered. I will smoke the last one, but I will not order again.

"Extraordinary body, best wrapper"
Quite possibly the best cigar I have ever smoked. Second third was up from mere terrific on the first third; complex flavors never stopped...smooth and full bodied don’t always go together this well. Third 1/3 was good until the end. Magnificent!

"A smooth creme bold taste! I tip my hat!"
I went to my local "cigarologist" looking for a box of Carlos Torano Signature series and they were out. The sales person directed me over to the Maximo tubos and the rest is history! I had one that night and was blown away. A VERY different smell of creme and hints of spice with a bold taste. Top Notch!

"Great cigar for the money equal to a Cohiba"
I finally found a cigar that's equals a Cohiba Black an it's affordable as an everyday smoke. Darn good cigar.

"Better than ever"
I stopped buying these sticks a couple years ago. I was getting too many plugs and horrible burns. I have bought two boxes in the last four months and looks like General has upped the quality control. Only one tight draw and a couple bad burners. The flavor is still exquisite.

"Great Cigar- "but""
This particular Partagas Black was my first and my down right favorite until about 4 months ago I started getting Maximo's that were very hard to draw. I became disenchanted with this size and went to the Classico for after work and the Bravo during the day when I only have about 45 minutes. Bottom Line Partagas Black, best smoke ever

"BOLD - FULL BODY"
A strong bold cigar - rich flavor but still very smooth - not for beginners --- Worth Trying

"Funky taste & smell"
I'm a fan of Partagas in general, but I didn't really like this style. The taste and smell reminded me of sweaty b.o., as if the roller hadn't washed up before work. I finished most of it, but won't buy it again.
