The cigars burn true, showing a medium to full-bodied brew of toasted nut and caramel notes, undertones of cedar, and some spice on a sweet finish. This is a must-try cigar for the serious aficionado!
I've had two from the box I got from a Monster deal at Famous. Out freaking standing IMNSHO. Nicely boxed and surrounded by tobacco, bound by a black ribbon and a nice intro card. Great presentation, but the cigars were even better.

I haven't tried this particular one, but Kristoff's are one of my favorite cigars.
Glad you enjoyed them.

Nice review, thanks! I love the Maduro and I've been thinking of trying some of their other blends.

Yeah, if I could get them for that price, $109.00 for the box of 20 instead of the regular $139.00, I'd buy them again.

I agree with the toasted nut and caramel notes, but didn't pick up any undertones of cedar, but did get the spice on the sweet finish. Very tasty!

I smoked one of the Criollo's about a month ago and it was a pretty decent stick. I wouldn't mind trying the Maduro.
