Default Re: Cigar.com Brand Cigars?

The brazilian ones are decent. Here is my review from a while ago.

Cigar.com Brazilian Label Robusto (5x50)

Prelight: The cigar had a nice, tight-but-spongy construction with a beautiful dark wrapper that was luscious and shiny. The prelight draw was extremely spicy and had a smooth, delicate pull.

First 1/3: Right out of the gate, the cigar was very spicy, but the flavor quickly mellowed and got fairly sweet with subtle hints of chocolate.

Second 1/3: Into the second third, the stick began losing its sweetness but the chocolaty tones started to really pick up, and the smoke got thick and extra creamy.

Final 1/3: The chocolate flavor intensified during the final third and the spice came roaring back.

Overall: The more I smoked, the more I liked this little beauty, especially as the draw opened up and rich creamy smoke literally forced itself into my mouth. For ~$2/stick, I'd say the Brazilian Label is a real winner. It provides a solid, Brazilian-flavor that lasts a little more than an hour and is comparable to (or better than) many higher-priced Brazilian sticks.

Verdit: Try this cigar!
