HydraGot several of these in a sampler pack. Flavors of salty nuts and sweet toffee or kettle corn with a bitter leather after taste. Bone dry smoke will require a drink. Also fairly harsh in the retrohale and on the back of the throat. Wrapper did start to split in places as I smoked it but binder kept everything working properly. Thick smoke it's an enjoyable cigar although a tad harsh for my liking.451

HydraI got one of these in a sampler I ordered last year. When I removed the band at the head of the cigar part of the wrapper came off with the band. Nonetheless the cigar burned and drew beautifully. Great flavor. Good stick. I would order this one again.451

HydraBlack Abyss Connecticut was a delightful surprise. It is a Very Smooth Mild to Medium bodied cigar - Excellent construction, Even Draw, plesant flavor and smoke, no bite or bitterness. It fits the description very well. Great for a novice and a plesant change for seasoned smokers. Highly Recommended..!551

HydraThis is a current favorite for me. I bought my first box site unseen and gave it away for a Christmas gift, it came with 5 free samples which I kept. Had I smoked one of the samples before gifting the box, I would have kept the box and gave away something else ,)
I have bought three more boxes since the Holidays...
to manbear 'burn fast and dry' : there is a thing called a 'humidor' you should get one, read the instructions and give new cigars a week to acclimate...

HydraFlavor was OK for the price but I would expect a 6X52 to burn longer than 15-20 minutes. I won't be buying again251

HydraGreat cigar. Part of the monthly cigar subscription. This connecticut smoked smooth and even from begining to end with perfect ash. A little spice and sweetness evident on the pallat at midway point and increases in intensity to the nub. Smoke this gem slow and you will enjoy the flavor nuances. Can be paired with anything.551

HydraFirst impression: Don't let the name fool you, the name Black Abyss leads to the assumption that these are bold smokes with deep earthy tastes of leather and mushroom tones - they are not. I personally found these to be very smooth great tasting smokes on the lighter side of EMS.
Appearance: great looking smoke with great color on the outer leaf, with very little signs of large stems or veins.
Aroma: fortunately, those that I received were quite fresh and the smell was fantastic - during burn was also pleasant and drew a couple of compliments.
Taste: as I stated earlier, with a name like black abyss I had expected a much bolder taste somewhat to that of a maduro. these were smooth nutty, light and very enjoyable with a glass of Hennessy pure white.
Construction: no canoeing, blockages, re-lights, or purging of filler. Construction was consistent leading to a smooth easy draw, and consistent burn on all ten smokes.
Bottom line: These are a smooth, great tasting after dinner smoke - try with your fav bourbon, cognac, or even a sweeter Grand Marnier. As long as you're not expecting a bold smoke - they won't disappoint. My only issue was that they were a little fast burning for me - I would have preferred they last a bit longer.451
