Per your request Jwrussell,
I just recived a few weeks ago from JR a sampler of 10 Robustos. I'll post my thoughts on each as I smoke my way through the package. Each cigar ran me around $3, so it is a nice deal. If you wanna get ahold of the same deal try buying some alturnatives and they will probably show up when you are taken to your cart.

I actualy enjoyed it alot. Wrap was a nice natural light color made it so I was not worried about it nocking me down. I found that it cut just fine, no problem with it coming undone at all. The pinch was firm with a smooth draw. Lit up great with a simple BIC lighter, I had it lit a little uneven but after 2 big draws it evened out just fine. Had to let it rest a little bit after starting it and then smoked it slow to keep it cool (I can't stand a hot smoke) never had a problem with it going out on me. Flavor was good a nice pepper with a small bite, rather consistant through the entire thing. Didn't leave any aftertaste and rarely had to clens the pallet.
I'd say for what I payed it was a good smoke, but I need to smoke some more cigars before I judge it at its normal price ($5ish I think). If you like a simple cigar and get a chance to pick one up cheep I'd say go for it, I would pick another one up if I had any cash and saw it cheep.
