"Good Cigar!"
I have enjoyed this cigar with Sam Adams Boston Lager and with Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey. Its flavor holds up very well to both. Its appearance is good. Well constructed, a bit tighter packed than the Cuban Blend, and a bit stronger. The smoke gets a little hot when drawing too much, but that s with most any cigar. It s one to sit back and spend time enjoying it over an hour or so, while relaxing. Burn was consistent and even. As said earlier, the draw was a tight enough to not burn too fast, not not so tight that you could get any smoke from it. It had a slight burn on the back of the tongue, but the after-taste is good and the overall smell of the smoke it nice! I ll definitely get them again!

"Too harsh!"
I got this as a sampler! I love the natural Edge and rate it as one of my favorites, but this maduro, to me, fell short. Too acrid and harsh!

"My Go To Cigar"
I always make sure to have a stock of these Maduros in my humidor. Mild coffee and sweet chocolate flavors in the first third, taste gets stronger and more spicy/peppery as you go. Never had burn issues and the draw is perfect for me. I dont think it's traditional but I love these with a nice red wine (prefably a late harvest Zin). The sweetness of the wine and the flavors of the cigar are delicious.
