“Tinder Box® La Reserva
I was wondering if anybody else has had any experiences with these.
I got a free three pack with my purchase from them, and decided to try one last night. The one I had was the #6 Maduro. It was very firm, and even though it was firm it drew very nicely with just a snip. It burnt razor sharp, I was very impressed with the burn and draw. The ash was nice and firm, and hung on for over an inch before I ashed it, I was getting up to do some laundry and didn’t want it ashing in the clean closes before I got back to the ashtray.
It is listed as mild, and I would have to agree, and I think it would be best served to smoke this earlier in the day. There was plenty of smoke, from this little mite though, very similar the CAO Brizilia Piranha I had a wile back.
I smoked this one to under an inch, just to see what it had, and if it’d turn bitter, it remained true to flavor the entire way, and never turned bitter. It did get a bit hot towards the end however, but never bitter.
The $2 something that they work out to be after the discount.”

"This is a Tinderbox brand but will be very surprising to any doubters that it can compete with other premium sticks.
To look at it, this is a great looking cigar. Mildly toothy, the dark maduro wrapper had a slightly oiled sheen that looked delicious. It was firm but not too firm when squeezed. The cap was well done too.
I clipped this cigar and took a pre-light draw that was just right. Not too tight; not too loose. It tasted spicy. It lit perfectly. From then on, it was a great straight-forward medium-bodied smoke.
This is a classic maduro cigar that produced an incredible amount of smoke and filled my palate with flavors of earth, leather, and spice. It's not complex, but much like a Padron, was smooth and consistent.
It burned great the whole way to the nub and was a shame to let go. This is a surprisingly great stick."
