This cigar is very nice. The draw is easy and I prefer to use a punch for these. The flavor was fantastic. Creamy all the way through with an increasing hint of sweetness the further down it goes. Go easy on these, smoke em slow, and you will find that it competes with many cigars even 3 times more expensive. Excellent construction and JR as usual ships their cigars out timely and with the proper humidity even upon arrival day. A must have for any humidor imho.

I was amazed at the quality of this cigar. Construction and burn are beautiful. Very close in flavor to the full price undercrown shade. This is now a staple in my humidor. Given the price point this is a must but for any price sensitive consumer

Very good smoke for a budget cigar. Construction is excellent with a decent wrapper. Flavor is mild and a nice ash. Easily worth more and compares favorably with higher priced labels.

Really like Drew Estate cigars, but these are a no.
Bad after taste to these cigars with not much flavor. Thought these would be a bargain everyday stick, but was wrong.

New to the cigar lifestyle, but seasoned just enough to know and recognize a really good bargain stick when I see one. Currently looking for a new bundle to fill my humidor, but until then, I'm very satisfied with these. Good draw, full of smoke and a nice 45 minute to an hour burn for me. Yes it's a mild smoke but I wouldn't say it has NO flavor. Retro-haling a few times adds to the sweet and creaminess of the notes with a slight spice. I'm game!

As an inexpensive alternative to more expensive cigars, this isn't too bad. I like the price, but the triple puff reignition, the butane corrections and the poor flavor makes this cigar a 3 star review. Poor construction, but priced to overlook it's failings. I'll buy more and use them for certain circumstances, like giving them to people that may not finish the cigar and for when I don't know if I'll be able to finish due to time restraints or emergencies arise that cause me to leave it to die in the ashtray. I have relit these cigars and they actually got better after returning later to finish it off.

This is my morning dog walk/ coffee walk smoke. Affordable, smooth, mild and tasty with a little spice and cream flavor. Stays lit even in high wind, durable, looks to be of high quality construction with solid ingredients. One of my go-to's as an everyday smoker

I smoke about 2 to 3 most days. Sometimes burns uneven but a good lighter fixes the issue. Nice cigar at the end of the day to enjoy with a glass of bourbon or beer, especially for the price. My go to.

Simply that. A great consistent gar, after one of your favorites. Balanced draw, flavor and burn. Can't beat that for the price either.

so far 3 have chipped wrappers, not a big deal but the taste to me is a little harsh. been letting em sit in a humidor i hope this helps. I thought theCT wrapper would be a bit mellower.

It seems I bought the last bundle of Factory Smokes. All categories have been listed as “sold out” for weeks now. I’ll stop smoking if I’m forced to buy cigars that cost 3x more.

Good smoke for the price. Smoke everyday can't afford $6/ day. So these are good with a cup of coffee.

These were my go to sticks but they are rolled way to loose and don't smoke like they use to. I've moved on.
