So these are on special all week at CI...never heard of them...says it's been rated 90 four times. Anyone know by who?

http://www.cigarsinternational.com/specials/weekly-special/?sourcekey=WSESP2

With free shipping it comes out to $1.75ea. for a 20ct box of Toros.

Below is StogieDads (Michael) review from 2015 May

Anyone else tried these? Any comparison to the 5 Vegas Gold?

I've been looking for a new cheap stick more in the medium range and by cheap I mean 2-3 bucks for a large robusto to a large toro size?

"Kind of floored by this cigar.  Expected it to be a cigar that Famous was pushing (got it free in an order), so I expected a cheapie.  Fired it up while grilling some steaks and from the start, this was a really nice medium-body smoke.  Started out toasty with some nuts, the middle got extremely creamy, and the last third there was a wonderful spice kick that I was not expecting.

Performance was perfect, straight as an arrow burn, thick smoke, firm ash.

Maybe I was just shocked because it was so much better than I expected.  But I thought this was a 4-star smoke all day.  Complex, tasty, and performed well.  Just floored."

Hadn't heard of them before but with A review like that and A price that cheap I don't see A down side.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Seems it is produced by the Augusto Reyes Family and has gotten some pretty good buzz and reviews when it first came out. I may give it whorl.

I've been burned on dirt cheap smokes too often. one bundle is just great so you stock up and when they come in they are crap. just my luck I guess.

They were Swisher Sweets foray into the Premium cigar market. They are from their Royal Gold venture.

For what it's worth I was pleasantly surprised by the new 5 Vegas Miami, it's a solid medium and gordos can be had $2 or less at the devil site...

Had to search what the "devil site" was.  

Y'all crack me up with some of the nicknames.
