All I can say is this... wow. All of the reviews I read/salivated over were 100% accurate. Peppery start that settles into an amazingly smooth yet dynamic smoke. I'm still learning to identify flavors but I could definitely a nutty/cocoa base with what I'm guessing is a hint of woodiness. By far the best medium bodied smoke I've had so far in my relatively short time (2 years) as a cigar smoker. It was the first cigar I've nubbed in a long time. Thanks again Star for hooking me up with the sweet deal on a 5er. They were worth every penny.

I already ordered a box of the non-maduro Reserva SW from NHC a few days ago. I'm wondering how they're going to stand up against the Maduro version. If they're anywhere close I'll be more than happy.

I had my first regular SW the other day. It was an awesome stick. I'd really like to try the maduro. Sounds great.

The regular SW is a great cigar. Probably my second favorite brown label after the Cazadores. With a little down time they're incredible.

The maduro just didn't do it as much for me, but I'm in the minority on that.

The SW maduros are much, much better than the regular SW. If I had them I would smoke these every day.

Great smoke, one of my favorites. A little off topic but I thought these were released at only one location, now I am hearing 5 maybe more? Whats the deal?

Well when these 1st came out I was in contact with Jose @ Sabor cigars.( in FL.) I ordered a box, then ordered another. About 3 weeks went by and I called for a 3rd because I had split up the first 2. He said he was out but had 1 left from a person who held a box and never came to get it. He then sold me the 3rd a hour later. It was supposedly the last box less then a month after getting them.. So there is something fishy going on here with the above statement.

I agree, I think there was well over 200 boxes released... They are still available apparently, people are still buying them on different forums/

I just had my first Reserva SW the other day, not maduro, and it was one of the better smokes I have had. If the maduro is better than wow.
