    There wasn’t much doubt what was going to happen when I took the band off on this one. It also had a tear in the cap before I cut it. It had good flavor & stayed together & smoked good.

    Three weeks rest hasn't helped these one bit. Maybe this fall they'll be better.

    Had this one last night, I can’t say that the Ave Maria have been overly impressive. Hopefully a long stint in the humidor helps them out.

    These are not for the faint of heart or the casual cigar smoker. IMO.

    Good flavor but it did give me a bit of a buzz. If a fella got too carried away smoking it too fast I could definitely see them parking a fella firmly on their arse.


    I got my money’s worth out of this one. Lol

    Having this one this morning, it’s a less than average cigar in my opinion.

    If you like that one... try the mint one... my buddy likes them... The only problem is they be a little expensive, someone on CB always likes them a little more...

    That one is a mint, I still have a Red Robusto in the humidor. I thought they were ok after initially buying them but about 3 months in the humidor really brought out the mint & chocolate in this one.

    I agree on the price & it is tough to get them at a decent price on CB.
