" I was a cuban virgin, because of THE embargo, I've had to limit myself to Caribbean based cigars. Thank you Topcubans for allowing me to experience what makes these cigars special. Power (for sure) Body (without a doubt) TEXTURE (seconded to none). Yep, good stick!! "

" Maybe had a bad one, great taste but very tight draw and couldn't enjoy it, very disappointed. Happens every now and them though, rough with the hand rolled smooth. "

" I would say a full body cigar not for a first timer. Excellent cigar to have in the humi will buy over and over again a must try for anyone. If you full body full flavored cigar try these you will not be disapointed. "

" What you expect from the brand. Strong with tastes of leather, spice and soil. Rich, dense smoke. Does take some experience as its strong taste could sour if you overheat it by using too much flame or too many repeated draws. By no means a simple smoke, but rewards your attention. "

" This is the cigar for aficionados - its strength is amazing. Along with the flavour and the almost near perfect draw every time. When you have finished - you are left satisfied and ready to go home! "

" Every additional day in the humidor these improve. A powerful and heady smoke with rich coffee and chocolate flavors. An effortless draw and sublime aroma. They get better daily, but I can't seem to wait. "

" Excellent smoke. I poured myself a drink, plopped into the hammock strung between two fruit trees in my back yard, lit up this stogie and enjoyed a nice California summer afternoon. This was my first time with the Bolivar Corona, and what a treat. As Richard says, the boldness of its woody and spicy notes is marvelously kept in check throughout the entire smoke. A perfect balance. Does it get any better than this? Maybe if I were resting in a hammock in Tuscany! "

" A gorgoeus Robusto with a soft easy draw. The fullness is well disguised and the finish is long, getting better with each cigar. #1 by Afficianado Mag and certainly an "any time of day smoke" for me! "

" This cigar is a really great smoke. It's got all the complexity, flavor, and balance that make it a substantial smoke without being a biter. Right there with the Monte #2, almost... But a real favorite still. It's got a bit different taste than the Monte or Cohiba, a nice difference "

" 4timer and chad44 are right with this one thank your note that was right .on. thank for the note, buck "

" As an experiment, smoked one of these from a box dated Dec 05 and one from a box dated 6/06 side by side,, both from Richard. The extra six months aging seemed to have the effect of smoothing out the harshness(greenness?) of the younger cigar. This isn't unusual and just emphasizes the need to age good havanas. By the way, chad44 is absolutely correct. "

" Richard was nice enough to give me a sample of this guy with a box of Cohibas, and it is one of the finest I've ever had. "

" After my first box I realized I rated these too low initially. 5.0 and climbing! Better than the D4. Gets my vote for best robusto for 2006! My favorite cigar. "

" This was a most pleasent surprise smoke. I bought them when they were on special and was very impressed. Nice dark wrapper, great draw and wonder flavor. I think I need to get some more! "

" I just got a box of these and my first impression is usually my best one so here goes.. The construction is near classic quality - beautiful wrapper, effortless draw, great burn. The favor on this cigar is unique and unlike any I've ever had. Antique wood and deep earth - like you would find in older cabernets. The blend is as smooth as the Siglio 6 and so is the finnish, a novice would have no problems with this one. Better than the Cohiba rubusto and Vegas Famoso. Wouldn't be surprised if this was an award winner. This is just a great effort by Bolivar and made a beautiful summer's night even better. Thanks for turning me on to the free stick Richard. "

" If you like the Belicosos from Cabinet, you will love the Royal Corona. My last set from Richard were SCO-LE00! They reminded me of the way Dunhill's humidor smelled when I was a boy. "

" To say this robusto is perfect just doesn't do it justice...I can't find the words to describe the joy derived from experiencing a 5 year old Bolivar R.C., all I can do is say thank you for the outstanding box, THANKS!! get them before they're all gone! "

" If you enjoy your smoke with food, this cigar absolutely cannot be beat. By itself, it's hard to say which one I'd choose between the Jaun Lopez Seleccion No. 2, But I would Highly recommend this Robusto to any serious aficianado. My favorite Bolivar. "

Danny

" An epiphany! I only knew in advance this would be full flavored...but it's so much more. Perfect, lush draw, with mouthfuls of rich cedar and dark-roasted coffee bean flavors, to name only a couple...very complex tobacco flavors (to my palate), with a finish that is unparalled in any robusto I've smoked. ABSOLUTELY the best robusto I've smoked, (sorry, Cohiba) I can truly call it a finger burner, because that's exactly what I did, with zero harshness from beginning to the (Very) end. I couldn't be more pleased, Richard, thank you!!! "

" A very good robosto, my everyday cigar. I smoked over a box to date and have been lucky not to expierence above rating problems. Medium body smoke with excellent taste that lingers on your palate. Highly recommended "

" Sounds like some folks got a few bad apples. Luckily, my experience has been better. Nice wrapper, lit well and burned evenly to the end. Great draw! Smoked it down to an inch and it never got harsh. Great full-flavored smoke (but no bite) with notes of coffee, undergrowth, leather, and more. All in all a great smoke. Good price, too. "
