Manufacturer: Bravo Cigar
Wrapper: Conn.
Size: 7 " x 50
Look: Beautiful wrapper. Not very smooth looking, sorta vainey, but nice looking overall wrapper.

Draw: Draw was pretty tight, to be honest. This was my first time smoking this cigar, so I don't know it if is a consistent problem or not, but for me, it had a tight draw.
Taste: Very light and mild. Nutty/toasty type flavor. Sometimes wood type taste. Not fantastic by any means.
Strength: Mild
Price: $3.49 ea (or so, price may vary)
Rating: 3 out of 5... Not fantastic, but ok for a cheap stick.

Hampton Court (Macanudo)
Brand:Macanudo
kind: Maduro
Name:Hampton Court
Lengh:?
Price:4.99 (subject to be different since my were bought second hand)
I'm not sure if these cigars are aged or not, but for a mild smoke, they are really good. It kinda have a woody;nutty;creamy taste to the smoke and very pleasant on the palate. No real lingering after taste on the palate either.
The wrapper is nicely constructed and good looking. No flaws, or very few, if any, here.
This isn't a really memorable cigar if you've smoked med to full bodied ones, but it is still an excellent smoke for the experienced or beginner none the less. Would make for an excellent afternoon smoke...maybe even morning, if you want.
Verdict: Worth a gander if you have to pick one up. You could do worse for about $5 dollars.

C.A.O Gold Tenth Anniversary Review
C.A.O Gold Tenth Anniversary
Size: 6 1/2 x 52
Shape: Torpedo
Wrapper: Ecuador
Filler: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Thanks to the main site for the stats.
Price 6.99
Wrapper had no real flaws to it and is a nice Connecticut shade color to it. The wrapper was starting to come off a bit at the top, but it didn't ruin the cigar. The cigar was packed nice and tight. It cut pretty well. I toasted the foot and then lit. Here I had a small problem, an uneven light. Now I don't think it was the cigar as much as I just missed lit it. The ash burns a nice gray and holds for quite a while.
Flavor was a creamy sweet and spicy, which smelt great. The aftertaste was good and not gross. This was a great med. bodied cigar. The after smell left in my living room is nice as well.
This was my first cigar since I decided to stop smoking cigars and try the pipe, which I find more to my liking, but I felt like having one of these and I'm glad I did. I would smoke again in a heartbeat.
Note* I paired with with a shot of Crown Royal Special Reserve on the rocks.
