WraithThe first one which I lit right out of the package from J&R exploded. It split so badly that with only 1/4 of it smoked it became un-smokable. The second one smoked decently and when you can get this cigar to behave it has a good flavor. Since that second cigar more have ruptured and become un-smokable than not. Sometimes they'll burn down a quarter to half way and clog then split like a banana. The ruptures are bad enough to prevent the cigar from drawing properly -- that's a very bad rupture not just an ugly looking smoke. The majority of the whole box has been problematic. So in the end I paid more than twice per stick (because the majority of the cigars were unusable) than the advertised price. I would have done better to buy fewer higher quality cigars. I like cigars and have bought them exclusively from J&R for many years but I can't afford to toss a box of bad stogies I have to smoke them until they're gone. I'll never buy a Black Abyss cigar again. Looking at the other reviews my experience may be atypical and it's possible I got a box of duds but I won't take a chance on these ever again.151

WraithFor a mild cigar it has a robust flavor with an even consistent smoke. This cigar has become a standard in my humidor - along with a fantastic price - highly recommend it.551

WraithI like a mild cigar once in a while. This cigar fits the bill. Good construction and great flavor. It is different from typical DR Connecticut cigars. Not as sweet. This cigar is a keeper!551

WraithI am not a cigar snob. All I have to say is this is one the best smokes I have had year. Leathery wrapper and it leaves a creamy taste on your tongue. I will keep a box of these in my humidor. Try them and you want go wrong.551

WraithGot this after buying a box of black abyss. Good build with a smooth draw. Nice flavor and and aroma. Just lighter flavor than its darker brother. Well worth buying more. You won't be satisfied with one or dis pleased.451

WraithJust won a box in a JR Auction. Just smoked my first. Draw was perfect. Construction was outstanding. A good looking light colored cigar. Ash was nice and tight and the cigar was solid. Burned perfectly. Reminded me of a White Monte but a tad milder. This smoke was a solid medium bodied cigar . I'm not good with flavors but eaqually as tasty and similar to any Macanudo toro I've smoked. Will buy again but definitely stole them in this auction. Worth a spin!551

WraithI have been smoking Black Abyss cigars from JR's for several years. Although I prefer maduro wrappers in this stick the Connecticut are far superior. The Connecticut sticks are made in D.R., while the maduro are made in Nicaragua. Go figure, I gravitate to Nicaraguan cigars.451

WraithI’m usually nit really big on Connecticut cigars. But this one has me hooked. Great mild to medium earth and cedar with honey and a hint of vanilla. I like it so much I’m on box 3.451

WraithHave been buying these cigars for a number of years! Always a solid smoke! The Connecticut wrapped are the better choice! Made in the DR!451

WraithI usually lean towards the Nicaraguan cigars. I ordered the Hydra Belicoso on the daily buy. They sent the Wraith instead. Not disappointed. Great cigar. Mild to medium, hints of honey, pepper nice finish, good construction, consistent burn. Will buy again.451

WraithThese are nice, about Med. strength cool smokes, with a pleasant aroma & taste, lasting up to about 40 minutes- depending on how hard you like to toke!
I get the Abyss whenever they're on sale (@$50 or less per box/20). Are they worth $4.50-5 per stick, you can decide for yourself.451

WraithThese are pretty good cigars, and a good value if you get them on special. They are mild and moderately sweet, burn evenly and draw easily. The bands tend to stick to the wrapper, so be careful removing them. I wish that a smaller ring version of this was made, such as a Cuban corona or Lonsdale size, but no one seems to smoke anything smaller than 50 ring any more. I recommend punch cutting, and not allowing them to dry out too much, as the draw can get very loose if the cigar is opened up much.351

WraithI like these if you get them on special would not pay box prices.
That said it is an ok daily. Biggest issue I had is inconsistent burn, had to relight them multiple time to even out the burn.451

Toro smokers looking for a more mellow version of our enormously popular Black Abyss original will absolutely love the new Black Abyss Connecticut Wraith. This medium-bodied stick is Just about as smooth as a cigar can possibly be, while still delivering hearty flavors and tons of complexity. Upon lighting, the enthusiast can expect a plethora of well-balanced notes that include coffee, nuts cedar, leather, and honey. As a wonderful bonus, you will find yourself taking many breaks just to savor Wraith’s warm sweet aroma.
