Just finishing my second from the box.  Stored at 62 degrees, 64%.
Very dark wrapper, almost oscuro.  Couple of prominent veins.  Punched it, draw is a touch loose.
A hefty smoke, it burns reasonably well.  Have to puff on it a bit towards the end.  It's pleasant, though certainly not complex.  Gets a bit charry towards the end.  Short finish.
A 7.5/10.  Definitely a change of pace, but not something I'd be actively reaching for a lot.

Had this when I first got into smoking and it kicked my @$$.  Been afraid to go back. 
:-) thanks Mash.

I've really enjoyed a bunch of these cigars.  They are pretty tasty.  I haven't felt the "punch" that I was expecting from these cigars though.  Many people tell me they are super strong and I just haven't experienced it yet.

It kicked my ass when I first started too.  Go back and revisit them if you like full bodied cigars.  You'll find they're not as powerful as they were when you were a newbie to cigars.  I love 'em now.

Thanks I think I will give them another shot now that I'm not such a novice.

Had the same experience, but don't be afraid.  They treat you better with a little nap, IMHO.

Just went out and had one on lunch. I've made a revisit to the Edge, Corojo & Maduro, and glad I did. Good cigar! I may lean toward the Corojo more, though the sweetness that comes of the maduro wrapper is nice.

I enjoy these smokes but agree that is not an every day smoke, for me any way. Thanks for the review!
