LAST WORDS:

Abyr: Meh. It was okay, but that's it. And I shoulda smoked it earlier, cause I really wasn't looking forward to it.

badwhale: It wasn't an all out offensive shitty smoke, but really for it's price I was very disappointed. Sorry I recommended this one for the megareview, but hey, at least it hopefully will keep people from buying even a 5er.

buzz: I’ll admit that because I had already ready a half dozen reviews of this stick that I was ready to toss it out with a F grade before I even pulled it out of the humi. Honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I expected flavor-wise. The burn was nice and even, and the draw was perfect. It produced a great amount of smoke that had a semi-decent aroma. The appearance and construction of the stick were good. The prelight taste was very bad, but the 1st third was ok, followed by fair in the 2nd and then poor in the 3rd. I remember back to my days playing trumpet in a jazz band when in a set, we wanted our two best songs to be the first and the last – that way we woke the audience up with a tune that really got them excited about the show - then we would close with a song that they would remember. This stick was a great example of how not to perform a jazz gig. Was that too poetic? Probably...

cigarsarge: The price tag said $8.30...Not worth $1.30. Lots of tobacco in it. I unraveled it to see what was going on. It had a large stem in the middle with bunch of tobacco pressed around it. Avoid this one at all costs.

Cyris: Maybe mine was a fluke? An old stick in the box?

Daigz: I had a friend who recommended the Kinky line to me and I thought that this would be a good start. I now realize that he likes shitty cigars. The only thing this had going for it was that the pull was perfect.

Diesel Grinch: Some say it tasted like ass. I wouldn't know as I've never tasted ass before but I'm willing to take their word on it that this is what ass taste like.

dr. cox: ...

Eville: It started off promisingly, but turned to shit after the first third. The last third was unsmokeable so I put it out in the flowerpot and broke out the pipe.

logan37: This thing started off horrible. The metallic taste killed it for me. I fought through and the end of the stick was quite good. Even thought it ended on a high note, I won't be seeking these out. That metallic taste just killed it for me. Next time we need to smoke some Texas Jewboys.

Mangyrat: It just doesn’t have anything about it that stands out.

Mizicke5273: For the price these really aren't worth the time, though if they shaved a few $s off the price, then who knows. But as it is, the way the flavor just disappeared isn't good. To me the smokeability of this stick lies in the price tag, it's ok but I'm not gonna break the bank for em.

ndv21: Even for a newbie, the burn issues and the fact that the cigar almost goes out when ashed would prevent me from recommending this. Way overpriced too.

prophetic_joe: A cigar that asks too high a price tag for what it is. Not worth the dollars it asks and just an over all underwhelming cigar. I didn't throw up or feel the need to pitch it but it is really just a forgettable smoke.

Steele: After reading a couple articles I had expected much better, though I can say I have smoked worse.

Tdre977: I wanted to smoke the Willie with an open mind since others already expressed they didn’t like it, but I can see why they didn’t. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
