Been a fan of these for quite some time. I have been smoking far fewer the past few months as I've started to run into a bit of inconsistency.
Omar Ortez are great when you find the darker, oiliest sticks. These will give you a lot of flavor and are very satisfying. I'm tempted to call them med-full, but not at all 'strong'. Little spice, but unique mouthful of rich, almost slightly sweetened chocolatey coffee...I don't know...reminds me a bit of Godiva Coffee for some reason.
Unfortunately, I've also run into some that are much more 'dry' to the touch. The overwhelming taste that comes to my mind when smoking these is water. Now, I like water a lot, but it isn't the taste signature I seek out in cigars. As a very general rule, I've had much better luck with the robusto size than the toros or belis.
So now I always look for Omar Ortez in B&M's so I can put my eyes on them (and yes, sometimes touch them) before I buy them. When they are on, they are tremendous value. When they are off, they won't cause me to toss them, but they aren't very satisfying either.
