hello guys.. i have just bought a box of these (quixote 4.5x50)
now i have had them before, and remembered liking them..I looked at how affordable a box was, and decided to get them for a good everyday cigar (i usually have one in the mid afternoon on my smoke break)
I am continuously suprised of how smoothe these cigars are.. The construction is the best ive seen for a cigar at these prices. I have become pretty picky about my cigars too, which is why im suprised on how good these cigars are and how ive drawn a liking to them as my pallette escalates.
any comments? positive or negative?

I picked one of these up a while back and fell in love with it. I had to pick a box up for the coolidor. Age will nothing but make these things that much better. I'm going for a year but have already broke the box open a couple times. Great cigar for the price.

They have the Quixote size in my shop presently. I may have to try one in one of my upcoming visits, and if I like it enough I'll buy the rest of the opened box. I'll post in here after I have one.
My local cigar shop was actually discontinuing selling these and I grabbed the last two (wooden, I think) boxes in a churchill size, too tired to go look at name (Barcellona maybe?). Two boxes for the price of one and these are very nice, smooth smokes. I have been giving a lot to my dad as I see him as he enjoys the churchill format and I am spoiled by CC's. These make a good golfing smoke too. The larger format (Dominican?) Bolivars are similarly smooth as well.

Well I had one tonight, and I lied I didn't pick up the Quixote like I said I was going to because my shop got a box of Escuderos in. I found the smoke to be very smooth and it burned very well until I got close to then end of the smoke. I think when I tapped some ash off it wasn't quite ready to come off, so it took a bit too much off. Some tunnelling started shortly after, and I decided to let it go out with about two inches left. I found the flavor profile to be chocolate/sweet, probably from the maduro. It's a bit stronger than the Mx2, but I think I like it better, for pretty much half the price. I have a few more of these sitting in my humidor, and I await the day they meet the flame, because for the price this is one damn good smoke. I just might have this be my first box purchase. Oh and to keep my word I will go and try a Quixote as well to see if it is any better or worse than the Escudero. Overall a very pleasing smoke for the price.
I have only had the Quixote and think it is a good size for this cigar, for me. I guess I know what I'm going to have tonight

I have to agree with everyone else's opinion on this cigar. Its a great smoke for the price. Very smooth, easy draw... nice flavors. This is an easy recommendation to make!

Good call BigRons. I picked up a Sancho Panza sampler at a shop last week with the Double Maduro, Natural, and X Fuerte. At 6 bucks for the three, this was a steal. The Fuerte was a solid smoke, but the double maduro is something I would definetly consider buying a box of at the low price. Haven't smoked the natural yet, but am expecting it to be solid as well. Thanks for the suggestion BigRons.
your very welcome! looks like im down to 2 sticks, so im going to have to load up again... Im trying to consider what size to buy this time (or maybe jus stick witht he shorty quixote's)
