"Great if---"
If you like your cigars hard to the touch, not much smoke 'cause the draw is tuff, one that tunnels and than canoes these are for you. If you want to quit smoking cigars by all means buy these and try to smoke a few. That's how bad they are. Don't know how old the other reviews are but these are really that bad.

"Great Smoke"
The construction on this cigar is better than most I have recently had. Decent taste. Creamy but can get harsh toward the end. Great everyday smoke. I enjoyed it

"Nice price"
I did not like the MADURO at first. It burned right up the side, so had to keep burning it off. Lots of waist. But the flavor grew on me. By the third stick, I was hooked and have bought several since then and will continue to. I suppose it depends on who is doing the rolling because some bundles are good, but only just. Others run right up the side, and I don t need to tell any of you how frustrating that is. Regardless, the Maduro is worth every cent. I just now ordered naturals which I rarely buy in any cigar so I m looking forward to that. For the most part, Schitzos have become my daily dash, without the outlay of cash.

"Definitely Smokes Like A Boutique Brand"
Had my first of these from a local tonight. NOW, it's on to buying my first bundle. My experience with cut-filler sticks is that they tend to be consistent, both in flavor, draw and burn, throughout.
I didn't find marked change every third. What I got was a nice bouquet of creaminess, peppery spice and enough other nuances there to make me smile. I'm a big fan of Drew Estate like NR, LP, Muwat, HE, etc. So, I really enjoyed the value in this cigar.
NO burn issues, effortless draw, and clouds of smoke the whole time. I would've taken it down to the nub if it hadn't gotten so cold outside!
Definitely worth the exploration. My only gripe is that they don t offer them in smaller vitolas.

"Worth twice the price"
This cigar is a cuban sandwich , which means it incorporates both short and long filler. I am pleasantly surprised with this cigar. It is better than expected.
The wrapper appears to be high quality - clean, smooth, evenly colored. These cigars smell rich. The roll looks a bit uneven, and it feels spongy. Some of the cigar bands are loose and slide off very easily.
Cutting the cigar is effortless. The first inch of burn was a bit uneven, but the ash is very light gray and holds well. The taste started out sweet for most of the first 1/3, with some indistinguishable flavors.
The taste changed somewhat randomly in the 2/3. It became bitter and varnishy, then turned into a musky, throaty, woodsy flavor. Some of the short filler tobacco fell out of the head. It was not much, only about a thimble-full.
Towards the end of the 2/3 into the final 3/3, the cigar again changed, this time into a creamy musky flavor. The burn for the entire 2/3-3/3 was very even and did not require touch-ups. The ash was very light gray and the wrapper ash had very little cracking.
These cigars live up to their name, Schizo ... they re all over the place. I m going to buy a mazo of these and age them. I have a very strong feeling that they are going to sing loudly in about 6 months.

"Decent Gar for the Money"
In the land of lower cost cigars the Schizo represents quite well. Had to make 1 burn correction about a quarter of the way in but nothing major. Very well made in appearance/construction for a stick at this price point with consistent flavor. Burned a tad hotter than some but that could have been this particular cigar. Excellent draw. I would for sure purchase one of these again.
