Box Pressed (5 x 52) This was my second time smoking an Onyx Reserve. First time trying out the Mini Belicoso size. I thought it was mild to medium in body, the draw was just ok, and it burned uneven at times during the smoke. The taste was smooth with a rich aroma for the first inch, then lost it the rest of the way down. Worth trying but not a favorite.

I agree with you coronawu. I had a box of these and they are definately not a favorite. The burn was usually bad on these, the draw could have been better, and the taste was not enjoyable (and no, it wasn't a problem with my humidity). I couldn't give these out any quicker.

On a side note, I do feel the #2 Belicoso was much more enjoyable, but I still wouldn't buy it again.

I've had about 10 of the Onyx reserve, and it was pretty much split down the middle. Half were very good, and half were just horrible.

Even after being aged some weren't very good, yet some were outstanding.

I have had good luck for the most part. There were a few at times that didn't burn good,gave a bad taste, but except for those few I liked the flavor and seem to maintain a good flavor all the way to the band.
Just ordered another box of 20.


A good cigar can mellow out a bad day!

Box Pressed (5 x 52) This was my second time trying the Onyx Reserve Mini Belicoso. It was pretty consistent with the first one I tried, except this one burned more even. I thought it was mild to medium in body, and had just an ok draw to it from start to finish. The taste was flavorful and rich at first then faded away and became a little bland. Worth trying but not a favorite.

Not a favorite, huh?

Nope

It's not a bad cigar. Not a great one either. I had a few and smoked them while doing yard work. I just can't get over the smell. Worst smelling cigar ever.
