Free Cigars for everybody

[Drake]

i smoked mine last night. the construction was sub par. there were a couple spots that swelled out a bit. the wrapper cracked in three places as i burned it. i used my disposable v-cutter on it and its draw was like that of a Cuban; a little loose. The flavor was ok. The wrapper had an exellent creamy taste as most Connecticut naturals do. But, the filler had somewhat of a harshness to it, similar to a helix, but not as bad. The harshness went away at the half way point. The last inch got a little sour. I couldn’t smoke the end of it. Overall, on the CA scaled, I give it 80.

I smoked mine tonight - Even burn , wrapper split near the cap - nice draw - decent smoke . I liked it but I probably wouldn't buy a box , maybe try a 5 pack or a sampler to see what else they have . Never harsh , just a mild tobacco taste with good flavor , no bitterness . It's definitely better then the Free Cuba torpedo I had the other day . I have no idea what these cost but I'd say they're worth about $3 -$4 each .

Sorry to take so long getting to smoke this thing.

Robusto Vintage Maduro

Nice stick. The foot was a tad lose looking, but other than that it was a nice looking cigar. Fired it up. Lots of smoke, easy draw, burned cool. I liked it. It was a mild/medium, leaning mild smoke but it had a bit of spice to it. I find most mild smokes bland and tasteless, but this had a nice taste to it. A bit of an uneven burn when it started off, but it got under control. No splitting.

I would smoke one again. My normal choice is something on the full side, but this was pretty good.

I had another one this morning. Aged for a month in the humi- much better this time around.

Hey, I have not received samples yet. Is it just me? Is it because I already ordered before the free offer? What gives?

I smoked my free sample over the weekend.

I had the maduro.
Not a bad little stick.
I kind of expected it to be more novelty than anything else, but it was quite flavorful.
The draw was pretty tight though... (I like my cigars like my Nicaraguan hookers)

I'd definitely try another if I could get them locally.... Might be tempted to buy a fiver...

I got my order today (not free but I was delighted nonetheless) and want to say big thank you to Shakespeare. Even though it took a while to get here, that wasn't their fault, it was the post office/shipping to the north. They shipped I believe the day after I placed the order. It was great not to pay any customs fees, as the company that shipped the package had a name that, combined with the plain packaging, made it seem like I was ordering something dirty..like anal beads. Customs never touched it and I didn't pay a cent to pick it up. The punch cutter that was included is pretty neat too. I'll post a review when I smoke one.
