Smoked one of these that I plucked from a boxpass. Decent taste and decent burn, but it left a harsh aftertaste. I could not tell much difference between this and a regular Monte, so what is supposed to be the difference? I don't see me buying any of these.

The Series V isn't as strong and robust as I had hoped, but I have really enjoyed the few that I've had.

I thought the robusto I had was OK, but not something I'd search out.

I had the short torp version at the HFF2 an thought that it was much better than the regular line, spicier and fuller bodied. Much preffered ovee the regular line.
