"Must-try cigar"
This is a majestic cigar, one worth investing 2 hours on. I couldn't wait when they got to the door and lit one up. It ran and did the canoe thing and I was very disappointed. The rest in the humidor did these sticks justice. Every one I have had since was a pleasurable experience. If you are a fan of full flavor then give these a try. Just give them some seasoning time.

"a disappointment"
I took the bait and bought a box of the EGO's. It didnt take long after the light up that the weakness of this cigar manifested. The burn was uneven and then the wrapper began to unfold! I ended up dishing it about half way. The flavor was good but the construction made this cigar a disappointment. After smoking two it appears the construction is a problem with the presidente line. I can only hope that the rest will be better

"Big & Easy"
The size is impressive, and a nice dark, oily wrapper looks great. From other reviews, I expected a full afternoon of smoking, but the easy draw burns thru it in about 1.5 hours. Medium to full flavor. Occasionally had to cut a run, but all in all a good smoke.

"MIXED REVIEW"
THE EGO STARTED OUT LIKE GANGBUSTERS. STOUT,SMOOTH AND VERY COMPLEX....WELL BALANCED. ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN IS WHEN IT TURNED ON ME. THE WRAPPER SPLIT AND UNWRAVELLED STARTED TO BURN UNEVEN AND THE TASTE WAS...WELL, FLAT. I'LL SMOKE A FEW MORE TO GIVE THEM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

"Still looking for my socks after this 9 out of 10"
I love this cigar, my favorite size and strength. Good draw despite some worm holes that caused the burn to run a little. This is definately a cigar that needs a full hour to smoke and can take a strong glass of burbon or scotch to accompany it. I want another box now!

"OUTSTANDING"
A truly exceptional smoke. I'm already back for another box. Very well constructed, great taste as well.

"Great aroma but really poor burn."
I bought the MAXX Ego in hopes of finding a cigar that is better than my usual smoke, a Punch After Dinner Maduro. the Ego is a great smelling cigar with an exceptional taste; however, it is nowhere near the cigar I envisioned. I moved to the Ego in hopes of finding a cigar superior to the Punch After Dinner Maduro but found that while the Ego smelled better than the Punch, the taste and burn were far inferior. For the price of a full bodied cigar I cannot recommend the Ego. The taste is good but not exceptional and the burn is substandard. Rough ash and an even worse burn make the Ego a surprising disappointment.

"TAKE YOUR TIME, YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE"
I have about a 1 hour drive from home to work. I fired up one of those broom sticks Ego's the other morning when I left the house. You almost need a trash can for an ashtray in your vehicle. That bad boy is quite a smoke. Not only is it a bold cigar, it will get you fired up shortly after lighting. The only problem I have it's not for a short commute. I was almost going to cry simply because I got to work and still had half the stick left. This is a cigar you want to enjoy over a long stretch. I plan on ordering more just to keep my neighbors in line. Thanks Famous for making this available.
