COMMENTS: One of my favorite cigars. A medium to full-bodied cigar some might find it a little bit harsh. The cigar has a nice peppery aftertaste that really sneaks up the sinuses. But the best part of this cigar is the price, at $5.25 the cigar is a great buy. If you like strong cigars, the Don Thomas Clasico is a must smoke. If you hang out with light to medium cigars, you might want to pass.
