Would've given it five stars, but too many of the robustos had overly tight rolls, enough to detract from the enjoyment of the smoke. Which is ironic, since a couple of years ago, I read that CAO had installed a machine to test-draw on each cigar rolled, and reject those that were too tight to draw easily. Flavor was uniformly excellent.

Love the selections of each brand. I prefer the Rock Patel's, as the CAO's are stronger but not necessarily more flavored.

The CAO assortment is very nice - I liked all three: light, medium and maduro wrapper. Rocky Patels are always great and this assortment was no different.

Your samplers have become too much of a surprise. Stop including small sizes & small rings in the mix. Nothing smaller than Robusto, & no smaller ring size that 48. It seems that you are economizing in a petty way. Also mixing "odd name brands" with very well known brands is a turn-off. This particular sampler was excellent & of the quality I've come to expect from Thompson Cigars.

Great on the golf course. It is great when a cigar doesn't have to be constantly relit. Smooth draw and they burned evenly. I'll order them again!

I only smoke 1 or 2 cigars a week and when I light up I don't want a cheap smoke. Rocky and CAO have become my favorite smokes. The flavor fits right into my mild to medium range.A great flavor to top off the end of the week.

I would love to review these cigars, but I can't. I shipped them to our men overseas. I picked these because I already know the quality, and I know they deserve the best.

Both Brands Were A Disappointment. The flavor was bad and from the moment it was light the intense heat was already drawing to the lips. It was like smoking AIR w/a bad taste.

I don't have the option of smoking in the house so all of my smoking is done either on my porch or in my car. Of course there's always the cigar shops but it's so inconvenient most of the time and my free time is very limited. So, with that said what about a sampler for the car smoker who doesn't have an hour in between destinations? Half hour smokes would be nice.

I tried Thompson Cigars a few years ago. The VSOP offering caught my eye, they were promoted as being made as a premium house brand and that you had obtained their remaining inventory, so I ordered 3 bundles. They were all brittle and so dry that the wrappers came off. I kept receiving your marketing and decided to give you another try. I thought the premium brands might be better. I should have known better, since you were still marketing the VSOP's. I first tried a CAO Italia and the wrapper, again, come completely off. I next tried a Brazilia...same thing. All of these cigars are dry, expired sticks that should not have been sold. PERIOD.[...]

Rocky Patel is hands down the winner here. Solid all the way through. Long lasting draw and unmatched flavor. Would highly recommend these cigars to anyone who has a clue.

I don't smoke often and only do it when I am hunting and fishing so my wife won't find out. So I prefer a good smoke for the limited times I can enjoy one.

great for an end of the week relaxing smoke with a good glass of wine or a micro-brew. every once in a while with the samplers one gets a hard draw that needs some help with a wire.
