This honestly surprised me a lot, with amazing construction a good even burn and good amount of flavorful smoke. The construction is very good with no soft spots straight seams all the way down the Wrapper and a good cap. This is honestly quite better than that of some more expensive cigars. In fact the only complaint I have is that the band didn't come off cleanly but tore which is a shame as it was rather attractive. The smoke is smooth with a combination woody and sweet flavors on the draw, and a hint of oak smoke on the finish. The ash is medium to dark grey and holds for around a third of the cigars length. All round a good cigar whether you are an aficionado or a newbie,and very good value for money too.

I bought these because I wanted to try something different to my usual Cuban & Nicaraguan cigars. They had fair to good reviews as well, so on the order they went. I wasn't expecting too much in the way of taste or quality, probably based on price I suppose. Well, was I wrong on both accounts! It was a little veiny near the foot which gave it an uneven burn to start with but soon evened out & developed a tight fine ash which refused to fall off until past 2 inches! Nice strong spice notes throughout the cigar which linger on the pallet after you've finished. These would be great with a strong coffee & 20-30 mins to spare. Definatly buying again, at this price you can't go wrong!

Had 4 of these in the summer. A beautiful tasting cigar, each one lasted me about 90 minutes. Will definitely buy more.

For £5.49 I wasn't expecting much, but the reviews seemed good and so I thought if nothing else it was going to be a pleasant cigar. Unfortunately it didn't start out great, the cap was horribly askew and it seemed far too firm. Lighting was a challenge and it took me nearly five matches to get a solid burn going and many more touching up where the wrapper was burning uneven through the smoke. Draw was hard, as initially suspected it was tighter packed than it needed to be and this made smoking it too much of an effort. It went out several times before I had even reached the halfway mark and after the third relight I eventually consigned it to its fate.
Flavour wise it was a nice cigar, sweet with a lingering flavour that clung to my palate between draws but it was not enough to warrant how difficult it proved to be to smoke.
I have another Rojo Red, the Figurado and if this is an improvement I'll definitely revisit the line. But first impressions left a lot wanting and it was ultimately unsatisfying and £5.49 I feel I could have spent better.
