Review #24:  I bought a box of five of these in Dubai for kicks on the way back from a holiday. What attracted me was the fact it was a new brand, and they were cheap. Having a short transit time also didn't help. I have just smoked my first, and I am seriously contemplating throwing them out.
These cigars are not made well. The cap is precut, exposing it's terrible construction. The cut cap/wrapper was starting to unfurl. The unlit smell was nothing special.
As soon as I lit up, the smell of cigarettes. It soon developed a cigar-type smell, but it wasn't pleasant. Draw was lose, and the wrapper was lose, which made smoking it a real chore. The taste was nothing special, I got tired of it after bout 5 puffs. And I think it almost gave me a headache.
People say this is a beginners cigar, but having smoked one, I would not recommend one to any beginner. This cigar does not show what a real cigar has to offer.
Terrible.

Review #23: This is one of the first cigars I ever smoked, and I absolutely loved it! I can't want to smoke the Punch cigar I also have. I have to admit it was somewhat weak for the first 1/3, but the middle and last third have made me extremely happy! I have another cuban (punch) which I can't wait to smoke. The cigar went very well with whiskey and coke. - Submitted by moosemoose on August 21, 2007
Review #22: Got a few of these today from a friend for free as he brought them back from Cuba.
Okay, it's not exactly amazing but it's not as bad as some people say here IMHO. Let me explain.
One thing I found a bit strange is that it comes pre-cut and appearence wise it looked really bad, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
The pre-lit aroma was very nice. Once I lit it the aroma was okay but smelled better pre-lit.
The burn was good and never went out once. Ash was a light to medium gray.
The draw was a bit too loose and the smoke was coming out a bit too much for my tastes.
I noticed it had a very light earthy almost cedar like taste. Reminded me of a Romeo Y Juileta No. 2 except way less flavorful.
I drank a coke slushy that I bought at a 7-11 and funny enough it actually paired up nicely.
Halfway I noticed a very faint creamy texture on the palette. Towards the last 1/3 it lost all flavor and I ended up tossing it.
Overall not a bad smoke but not great either. I'd say try it for free if you can but I would definately not buy one of these. I can tell aging these won't make any difference.
Again, get em' for free if you can and try one, but don't buy it as you'll feel ripped off.

Review #21: I guess I agree with most of the reviews, nothing special. However you get what you pay for, which is this cigar's main advantage. Many suggest its a good every day cigar, but I prefer the segundos of popular brands than this one. - Submitted by Nicos on June 22, 2007
Review #20: I Have an occasional smoke here and there,(i've been smoking these latly) and ive smoked better cigars from cuba, but i think it's a fun, light, cheap(i live in a medium/high class town in israel and the cost here is 2-3$ per cigar here) cigar and its O.K. , also it has good smell.
complaints:1. It's loosely wrapped so you can fell the air coming in with every draw. 2. it has various annoying lighting problems. 3. the finish isn't very good. i think it's fine, y'know good enough for hanging out with friends and what not... - Submitted by 12yroldcigarsmoker on June 18, 2007
