I have bought Empresario for decades. Always an excellent value. No complaints. I will probably switch to a longer cigar than I chose, but I will stick with Empresario as a main cigar.

I smoked many Empresarios several year ago. they were my favoritefor both taste and price. I stopped for several years due to health concerns, but now am enjoying cigars again. I just got re-aquainted with Empresario. it is shorter and with Connecticut leaf wrapper. It is still an excellent mild cigar and a great value.

Ever went to a random bush, broke off a few leaves, and started chewing them? This is how the Empresario tastes in its first third. The second third adds a slight woody overtone, while the last third adds a slight creamy peppery tone, but the fresh leaf flavor dominates throughout the cigar. I believe the tobacco is fermented only enough to eliminate the green color, but not enough to actually make it taste good. Construction is pretty good overall. The wrapper is well applied, does not unravel or crack, and is thick enough to not be extremely fragile, as is the case with other Thompson branded cigars. I have seen a few Empresarios where a small piece of wrapper leaf was applied to repair a small tear. This attention to detail is definitely a nice touch, and much preferable to shipping the cigar with small imperfections. The construction is also unbelievably inconsistent. Most of the sticks I received have had a decent draw. A few were packed so tight, that the draw was almost impossible, resulting in very little smoke output, and even worse flavor. These smokes are only good to pair with a drink that benefits from the added bitterness. If the drink overpowers the fresh leaf flavor, but not the bitterness, it can make the experience enjoyable. However, these sticks, I would argue, are priced about four times higher than what they are worth.

I bought the "Dominican Madness" sampler and this stick came with it. Outside of some minor flaws, it's good. It's has an earthy taste, a smooth body, with a small touch of bitterness that disapates quickly. Overall, it's a good daily smoker at a good deal.

Not a bad cheap smoke. Maybe I should bump it up to 4 stars for being a decent smoke at an affordable price.

Got 5 of these on the auction site. First one was quite bland. After a couple of weeks in the humidifier the flavor is greatly improved. This is a mild cigar with some good flavor, but not a lot. Overall this is a good everyday cigar.

An affordable connecticut with flavor. If you're in to a mild everyday cigar, then Empresario may be the one.

I smoke every day. This is the best cigar for the money I have ever smoked. Flavor sometimes inconsistent, but never had to throw one away.

It doesn't taste bad for a cheap cigar. I don't care for the combination filler. Nearly every wrapper had issues from cracks to flaking problems. No other cigar in my humidor has had those problems then or since. These cigars are not terrible by any means, but there is a lot better out there for just a few pennies more per stick.
