Ordered 4 of these to try, on opening the order gave them the smell test and all 4 had a distinct smell of ammonia. I put them in the humidor for a day and thought I would try one, but the ammonia taste was there in the smoke, I had to do a burn purge 4 times to try and burn the ammonia off. It did burn well, nice and even and was not terrible but the ammonia has put me off. I will leave the other 3 for a few months but wont be ordering these again, im surprised nobody else has mentioned this in the reviews. Shame as they are a good price for a 40 min smoke.

Rich, velvety with earthy undertones. A very balanced and pleasant experience; delicate and yet punchy draw with a full bodied and refined character. Complicated flavours that carefully evolve throughout the cigar with a relaxing and distinctcly pleasurable palate.
For a relatively inexpensive cigar this was quite a lovely surprise as it felt equally as enjoyable and akin to a Cuban classic such as the Monte Cristo, with all the hallmarks of that same refinery one comes to expect from such a well known brand.
There was no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste. The draw was even and careful with a solid burn and eveness to the smoke. The cigar took around 1 hour to complete (with conversation and wine - and why would you rush such a decadence?) and was fulfilling throughout.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable cigar that still manages to reward with the same fullness and complexity we hope to experience from that moment of self indulgent pleasure.
This cigar shall remain on my wishlist.

Fantastic cigar. The flavour is exceptional from the start and only gets better. Smoke time vs price point makes this cigar worth it. If smoking solo it could easily go 90min. Therefore one to share with a fellow enthusiast. Will certainly get another for a special occasion.

A pretty midling cigar for me.
It was well made, but the draw and flavours were far too mild for my tastes.
Another bud light cigar in pilsner clothing which a lot of US-marketed cigars seem to be.
It did pick up in the final third to become somewhat of my expectations for the first and second, but sadly it was gone shortly after.
Not a bad cigar but dont expect a flavour bomb.

Very Good Cigar. Great for a quick morning or a evening night. Has a very light taste not to dark and bitter, seems to last all the way through until the very end it starts to get a bit bitter but thats fine with me. I would highly recommended

You wont be disappointed with this perfect example of a Montecristo. Very smooth, quintessential Cuban flavours - delivered in a smaller ring gauge which keeps it a mild to medium in my opinion. A classic. A go to. Will 100% be ordering more of these.
