"I agree it s not a 93"
There s just something a little harsh in this smoke. It overwhelms the other flavors I Iove in a cigar: cedar, spice, caramel, leather.

"Excellent consistent stick"
There are a lot of nutty reviews for this cigar. It seems most folks have smoked one or two and think they know the cigar. I have smoked 7 boxes of the "natural" and I can attest to their consistent quality construction, appearance, burn, draw, and very tasty flavor. It is my golf cigar because of its consistency. I don't want a stick that I have to fiddle with during a round, either cleaning up a bad burn, loosening a bad draw, or distracting me with a varying taste. I've experience two sticks that I can remember that didn't burn and draw perfectly. And despite what a few reviewers have said, they NEVER get harsh in the final stages. I smoke every one until I can't hold it any longer with two fingertips. If they are well cared for, they will deliver.

"Nice smoke, not a 90+"
The 90+ rating for this cigar is insane, that said the extremely negative ratings are insane as well. This is a very good mild-to-medium cigar of excellent construction and consistantly good though not all that exciting flavor. It is a good lower cost cigar to stock the humidor with and is well worth the premium over the no-name el-cheapos from Famous and others. I always keep a box or two around.

"Smokeable"
Not much to say about this one. Its smokeable. Nothing close to a 90+ rating. I'd give it a 85 at most. I've had some cheap churchills for a few bucks less with a lot more flavor and a way better finish than this. It was a rather boring tobacco flavor all the way down to the last 2" where it got so harsh and gross I finally put it out. Will not buy again. It also went out on me a few times and I am not horridly sparing with my puffs. After the halfway mark it needs to be puffed a little too often to make it stay lit.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa....hold on a minute"
I'm not saying this is a bad stick. I"m not saying that at all. What I am saying is that there is no way this is a 90+ rated stick. It's mild, the flavor profile is boring, and it is way over priced at 5.00 per cigar. This is a good value in the 2-3 dollar range. I'm genuinely puzzled by the rave reviews this is getting.

"Excellent stick"
Got a 5-pack of these a couple days ago, and just couldn't wait so I lit one up tonight. What a delicious cigar!! The wrapper was a little veiny, as another reviewer noted, but who cares?!! It smoked like a dream. Nice natural sweetness, even burn, and light (albeit maybe just a bit too light for the first half) draw. I'm not great at identifying particular tastes (i.e. cedar, pepper, etc.) but I know when a cigar literally makes my mouth water. And this one did. It burned cool, and tasted great. It seemed to be a rather loosely rolled cigar, and the way the ash fell off very easily with just a slight tap seems to confirm that, but it was a well constructed cigar nonetheless. I would imagine they'll be even better after they've spent some time in the humidor.

"My Favorite Cigar"
I have only been smoking cigars on a regular basis for about 6 months, this was one I tried first through a friend at a wedding. I loved it then and I love it still. Only the Romeo & Juliet reserva real is close to this. Very smooth, no after taste... Awesome
