I'm smoking my second box of these cigars, and while they taste great, some of them are rolled so tightly that they're virtually useless as a smoke. Otherwise this cigar is a remarkable bargain.

I have been smoking cigars only a few months and have kept to those designated a mild --Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut, Ashton Magnum, etc. My brother gave me one of these Maxx Torpedoes and told me he thought I'd like it. I was a bit leery, but as soon as I lit it up, I knew this was a real gem. A fabulous smoke all the way down! It is smoothly rich and VERY enjoyable in all respects. I was back and forth doing various things while smoking the cigar and it never went out, the draw was perfect, cool in temperature but warm in satisfaction. Beyond the superior nature of its smoke-ability, it is aesthetically appealing -- beautifully crafted. I immediately bought a box for myself and a box for my brother.

 

Has earned a permanent spot in my humidor...

I for the life of me could not find anything wrong with this cigar. Everything was near perfect. The burn could even up a touch, but that was probably because I'm in and out of my main box twice a day. I'll admit, I do prefer the Maxx's over the Traditionals, but only because of the sizes. I like 58 ring gauges. I couldn't believe the quality given the price. The next time Famous sells them for $49.98 for a box of 25, I'm buying as much as my wallet will allow!

I really enjoy these smokes. I didn't know much about these but I do like Alec Bradleys's Tempus (who doesn't?). So I bought them "blind" on sale. I have not regretted that one bit. Extremely smooth smoke with an excellent flavor profile. Big flavor with a slight sweetness to them. There is nothing subtle about this cigar. The smoke starts off a little sweet and with a very good taste/flavor. By the end of the first inch, the cigar comes into its own and becomes an outstanding smoke. I haven't had one that hasn't smoked well. To me, they are medium in strength and on the full side in flavor. I bought these while on sale, but will happily buy at full price.

 

Just an amazing smoke

First of all, I am a big fan of Alec Bradley cigars. That being said, I knew I was in for a treat. It certainly didn't disapoint. Great burn. Nice construction and some damn fine flavor.
I ordered this through FSS on Thursday. They arrived on Friday. Saturday evening Im sitting back with a cupof coffee and the Maxx. Great way to spend a night with all the snow falling. FSS hasn't let me down in the year and a half I've been dealing with them. Thanks again FSS for a great smoke, Great service and an AWESOME price on these sticks.
