ETA more detail: I went to JR's website and they're Honduran overruns and seconds from Punch, HdM & HdM Excalibur, JR Ultimate, and El Rey Del Mundo.

I rate it as fair, but just a hair below above-average. Mellow, smooth smoke throughout with a good burn, not ultra-premium. Flavor wise, toward mild. Aroma off foot is pleasant but mild. Look and feel is very fine. So, while not a premium cigar, its not a true yardgar/mutt missle/dog rocket. It's a good everyday, good smooth smoke, basic, no flash. What I appreciated, and I readily familar with, it was absent the harsh (ammonia, cedar, hay, nutty, dirt, peat moss) taste of lesser grade tobacco.

It's a good solid smoke with no harsh flavors, lacked construction problems and void of any bad aftertaste.

So I'd recommend it over Flor de Oliva, but short of an Oliva G.
