Since you already bought them, why not smoke a few of them and form your own opinion? It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, just if you enjoy them.

Pretty good smokes, Eli. Lots of flavor.

I pretty much agree with TanithT's review.

I think it was the ERH Club, and hopefully LckyLindy can confirm or deny. If it was the Club then it is well named, because it definitely delivered a beatdown. Nice toothy dark maduro wrapper, pleasantly strong pre-light aroma of well cured tobacco.

To make this cigar, somebody basically rolled Chuck Norris into a tobacco leaf. When I lit his feet on fire, he came out the other end and punched me repeatedly in the mouth. After the shock and numbness wore off, he decided we could be buddies and offered me a nice shot of triple espresso.

Wow. This cigar is quite a powerhouse, smoothing out about midway through with some intense but tasty coffee and bitter chocolate flavors with just a touch of cream. If you like a strong stick with plenty of Vitamin N, this one should be a favorite. But for the love of Ghu, don't inhale, or else you will probably die.

Thanks LckyLindy! That was quite a smoke. Unless it was actually an assassination conspiracy. :-)

Kind of like drinking a triple espresso with a side of Everclear while hitting yourself repeatedly on the tongue with a chocolate covered brick. It leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth, and it feels so good when you finally stop. :-)

I like em. Good, inexpensive stick. Not sure which ones I have had. That had a green/white/red/gold band. I was pleasantly surprised.

I've always loved these. The funny thing is they are not as strong as the original release! If you like a strong woodsy flavor (not cedar, more like oak) and enough nicotine to make your lips numb, these will do nicely for you.

Great stick! Has become widely overlooked, that includes me!

A really good stick, even excellent if you let them age a year or more.
