I really enjoyed the box I won from cA. A nice medium bodied cigar with hints of brown sugar and vanilla. The smoke was very creamy. Like you said, the construction was top notch and the wrappers were beautiful. I had the double coronas and I smoked a majority of the box on the golf course. I wish I had another box in the waiting., but they are a little expensive and I probably wouldn't buy a box, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a few singles.
I know I'm digging up the past with this post, but I tried one of these a couple weeks ago when I was in Philly. So, I checked here to see if anyone else had reviewed it. pmpimbura is spot on with his description.

I said those Exact words to the associate that gave it to me. He bragged all day about how flavorful these cigars were.
This cigar has an excellent appearance, nice wrapper, cap, elegant band..... But no Taste.
IMO you could inhale this cigar like a cigarette and not get a buzz.

This time I tried one that had been sitting in the bottom of the humidor for the last 4 months. The flavors were definitely more pronounced with this stick. The major flavors were EXACTLY as Idesign described creamy vanilla and brown sugar. Personally I found it far too sweet for my tastes. It reminds me vaguely of the excalibur royal sterling in that respect but a little less defined. Still not a winner in my book although the construction is excellent. If you are into sweet cigars this might fit the bill but sit on it for a while or you might as well just burn a 10 dollar bill and call it a day.

I've still have 5 from the box I won from cA. I ended up smoking damn near all of them playing golf. For some reason they just performed well on the golf course.
