Review #7: All of the boxes that i have in stock in my humidor are from REC OCT 01 productions. In my opinion these are the very best of this brand. Once lit the very decadent and most intoxicating flavors and aromas hit you like a brick. Very strong and well aged tobacco are the main run, then you are hit with a most intoxicating combination of oily italian espresso, mixed with dark fluffy swiss chocolate.
There is enven a dusting of carmel and honey in this intoxicating flavor and aroma. the quality from box to box is unbelievable. The one from the first box is identicle to the one from the 10th box. However the wrappers from box to box vary from a dark oily carmel-chocolate to an almost dark brown oily espresso bean color. the construction is nothing short of flawless, the wrappers some veins from time to time, but they never detract from the decadent and intoxicating flavors and aromas. I am still searching for more boxes from this production run, however have not had any luck as of late. When i purchased these. The boxes came from to different sources, the first 5 came from Switzerland and the second 5 came from HONGKONG.Even though they came from 2 sources and 2 countries i can not believe how exact and identicle they all are. The cubans are really becoming much better at quality every year. - Submitted by bigyesta on March 9, 2005
Review #6: generally, not the easiest of cigars to find as it is my understanding that they are manufactured to cater specifically to the middle east market. these cigars are of exceptional quality. the draw is good for a double corona. the second half of the cigar is a truly enjoyable experience. in terms of more common cigars of this size, it falls somewhere between the partagas lusitanias and the hoyo double in terms of presence and strength. if you have a chance to sample one i'd strongly advise you to seize the opportunity, if you both enjoy and have the patience for this size cigar. - Submitted by Jay K on February 17, 2005
Review #5: These cigars are truly masterpieces of cuban cigars. Box code REC OCT 01. What a truly classic vitole, the wrappers dark milky swiss chocolate, with out veins of imperfections. The aromas are classic cuban, and the flavors are unbelievable, warm cuban cedar, fresh chocolate, and espresso, even an extra hit of dark swiss chocolate. The flavors of strong very well aged tobacco are the mainstay. These are truly one of a kind, so i ordered 4 more boxes, cant wait to get them

Review #4:  Just got two boxes of March 04. Smoked one to see how they are. Smooth for the first 1/2 with some honey and chocolate, then spicy as it burned further. Some ammonia that will certainly disappear with age. Can't wait for 2007. - Submitted by WFZone on September 23, 2004
Review #3: Just had one of the new Mar 04 version. An exceptional cigar- perfect burn & draw. Strong & extremely spicy from start to finish without ever getting harsh. This one's a winner - Submitted by steve on July 26, 2004
