From the information I was able to find on this stick... These sticks are packaged in unique wooden boxes. These are certain to satisfy the lover of fuller-bodied cigars, these “puros” are handmade in Nicaragua with ultra rich Nicaraguan wrapper, binder and long filler tobaccos.

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Size: 5X54 (Robusto Grande)
Price: Box of 60 for $ 160 / $ 2.67 a stick OH YEAH!!

This stick was dark chocolate brown in appearance with moderate veins. Pre-draw flavor was caramel, right up front and hit me right away. Had an excellent draw and it burned evenly all the way to the end.

1st Third: Detected caramel and a sweet woodsy taste, very enjoyable.

2nd Third: At about the half way point the caramel is still present with a hint of leather and milk chocolate. I'm digging this stick!!

3rd Third: The final third stayed consistent with caramel and leather. Might have found me a new "go to" stick.

This stick was full bodied in flavor, but mild to medium in strength. Can only imagine these will be awesome with a little time on them. Would I buy this stick? HELL YES!! Seeing how I picked up a box, looking forward to enjoying more of these. Will be putting these into my regular rotation. :tu

Thanks for the Review, Mac!
I had one Omar Ortez natty thanks to RevSmoke and it was a solid stick!

[Kreth]

Nice review, Mac. They look yummy, but are they supposed to be an Edge knockoff?

Not sure Jeff...the Original Natty I had a few months back didn't have a band. Must be something new they are doing. Gotta love those marketing folks. :r

Well whatever it is, they look damn tasty! Do these come in 5vers?

[RevSmoke]

Doggone it, another one to try.

As MJ said, I have had some of the natural Omar Ortez cigars, in the robusto and torpedo size. Usually an excellent Nicaraguan stick, fairly full-bodied, with some spice and earthiness to them.

As these are not black wrappered maduros, I may have to try some out.

Thanks for the review.

Excellent review Mac. :tu

[cobra03]

Nice review Mac. These are a great under rated cigar. I love the natural. Going to get my hands on some maddies today. There was a point when i was getting 5ers of the nats for $10-15 on c-bid with boxes of 60 going for around $100. The price has since gone up a bit.

[RevSmoke]

Atlantic has 5ers for $15.95 here http://www.atlanticcigar.com/omoror.html

[NeverEnoughStick]

Thanks for the Review Mac! These are some killer sticks!

[elderboy02]

I had one of these today. I received it in Jan of 2009. It was a great stick. I might have to pick up a couple more :dr

[cobra03]

After reading this i had to try one. Just finished torching a maduro torpedo O.O.O. All i can say is its a great smoke and at the $3.50 i paid for it , it was a steal. I will be getting some more as soon as i can. :ss Oh and thanks Mac as if i wasnt blowing enough money with the wedding coming up fast.

Where'd you get them for $3.50? At that price I'd smoke a few :ss

[Mad Max]

These are great sticks! I can get them for $3.74 incl.Tax in my local supermarket. I'll be buying a box so I can get them for $2.13 a stick!

[longknocker]

Thanks A Lot, Mac! Another Cigar I have To Try!:r Great Review, Brother!:tu

[bigdix]

Thanks for the review, Mac. Another I'll have to try, you self-proclaimed maddie-whore! :)

[macpappy]

Went to a small cigar event at the local B&M tonight. They had a rep there pushing Montecristos put was handing out the Ormar Ortez Maduro Robusto Grande. I was totally surprised at how good this "freebie" cigar was. Mine has a very easy draw (V-cut), the burn was even all the way down to the last inch and the flavor was good and throughout. I expected it to get harsh and maybe a little bitter at the end but it wasn't. We were also treated to a Scotch Tasting. It paired well with the Talisker 18 year Old and with the Laugvalin (The Distiller's Edition).

For what looks to be a fairly inexpensive cigar, this is definitely a smoker.

[tenbaseg]

Maduro - check
Nicaraguan - check
Affordable - check
Positive review - check

Must try!

[Blak Smyth]

I think these are the best cheap sticks I have tried so far thanks @Kelmac07 for turning me onto them!

[LigaPrivadaT84]

Where can these be purchased?

[chaase321]

JR has them right now
http://www.jrcigars.com/jr/index.cfm/hurl/evt=itemlist/catid=350/OMAR%20ORTEZ%20HONDURAN%20MADURO.html

They look really good and not expensive, I may have to stop at JR's (since they are right here in DC) and pick up a 5'er

[irratebass]

Seen these at a local B&M at lunch they wanted almost $7 for them, I had to pass. :td

Yah they are like $5 each at a local place by me!

[kelmac07]

$ 5-7 a stick is a steep mark up. :bh :bh For $ 150-160...grab a box of 60. :D

i actually had one of the maddys 2 nights ago. great solid stick and the price is right!!

[dave]

Back in 06 burned a lot of these. When they were relatively unknown I was picking them up at Norfolk VA B&M's for under $2.35. As they became more and more common, I felt the quality start to slide. I've only had 2-3 the last couple years, but they have had thin, cracked wrappers, tight draws and a bitterness that I don't recall experiencing years ago.

[RevSmoke]

Hey, have any of you had the OO Puro Maduro? It is a 6X54 and a complete Mexican Puro.

[chaase321]

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/html/spec_deals_d.asp?emailsrc=true

Only a 10 pack, but thought I would post this for those of you on the fence

That's a great price for a 10 pack. When I got the JR special, it was $2.15 per stick but I had to buy a box of 60.

Just revisited one of these after they've been sitting for 17 months and the caramel flavor has really come to the forefront. :dr :dr :dr

Hey Mac,

These have really caught my eye. Somebody earlier on asked you if they compare to the Edge. What do you say? Similar? A knock off? I'm on the fence about trying them and was thinking about ordering a 5-er from CI.

Thanks!
Nick

[Newbie_nick]

Oh wait...CI seems to only have the natural wrapper. Do you know where I could buy the maddies?

[Blak Smyth]

These are such great sticks, I worry the prices will increase as Omar Ortez becomes more popular. These are great though, I pay almost $5 as singles at a b&m an still think its worth it. I am working on splitting a box early next year.

[emopunker2004]

I too enjoy these. Newbie nick, check cigarsatyourprice dot com for the maddies.

[Steve]

I have seen these at my B&M, think I'll pick up a couple. Thanks for the review

[Ismith75]

One of my go to's...these taste like bbq to me.

[Newbie_nick]

I too enjoy these. Newbie nick, check cigarsatyourprice dot com for the maddies.

Checked there, and they only have the naturals or the puro maddies.
