Good medium-bodied maduro for the price. Tight draw sometimes and a pretty simple flavor, but otherwise a great everyday choice.

One thing that strikes smokers when enjoying Elites is its affordability. The good construction, adequate draw, and steady burn clearly match the rather cheap price of the stick. As far as the smoke goes, there are interesting notes of wood in the beginning, hints of cream in the middles, and finishes out with a spicy flavor. There is nothing very special about the Elites, but it's not bad, either. Smoking these pups is like meeting with an old friend that you've been seeing for a long time. He won't do anything new, but at least you'll get what you bargained for.

When talk is about the only thing you can make in an awkward social situation, have one of these cigars ready. It’s a conversation piece all by itself—with its excellent construction, ample smoke, and super-smooth flavors of wood, black pepper, and a hint of cream. Not too complex, but not simplistic. If this won’t work, well, nothing will.
