I have decided to write my first review, because I have the need to share this information with everybody.
This is for the Sinatra My Way, which is hyped up as the $300/box that is selling for much less. I bought a 5 pack off of c-bid a while back and they have been resting for a month or two, so I decided to break one out yesterday. As a preface, I was expecting a medium bodied cigar, and I understand that these are at best a mid-range cigar. Here goes the review...
I lit it and the first few puffs produced a nice ammount of smoke. The draw was perfect and the burn was even. The first inch had a slightly sweet taste, very pleasant. After the first inch, the sweetness went away, and I have only one word to describe the rest of the cigar.....BORING! That's it. Right up until I tossed it it had the same flavor, which was nothing special.
Ok, so maybe my first review was more of a venting session and an expression of my dissapointment, but I guess I'm learning not to believe everything I read.

I checked out those cigars too, and also did it MY WAY. Which is, I won't be smoking those again.

Yep you nailed it! Very boring cigar, at least for my tatse. I had the same experience. At first, nice, sweet, pleasant tasting but after that first 3 drags...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I know someone that LOVES them. But he is a big Macanoodles fan too. So tharrr ya go!

I agree...if the gar cost a quarter, it would be worth having around to pawn off on someone...but not enough taste to make it worth it.

Spence for your first review you did great the only thing to add is there not even worth a quarter a stick.

I had almost the exact same experience with the Maxim's De Paris. Just plain boring. I am learning to become leary of the big closeouts that c-bid always have. Don't be afraid to experiment but remember to trust your instincts. If a five pack is only selling for seven bucks on c-bid. There's got to be a reason. Just my two cents.

i do purchase the Maxim's de Paris. Great price. But very light and a bit boring but great to hand out at parties. the occasional smokers are impressed.

I gotta agree about the My Way's but I do like the Maxim's. For an everyday smoke at about $1.25 a stick they are hard to beat except for the Sila closeout at $.60 each. What do you think is that much better in the same price range?
