Smoked my first Extreme a couple of days ago. I'm a newbie, still trying out various sticks for a good go-to smoke. Have to say Extreme is not it. I have smoked CAO golds, and CAO Criollo's, also have a Brazilla in humidor to try. Was impressed with the Gold and the Criollo.
I enjoy more of a medium body smoke, and the Extreme is more on the full body side. I made the mistake of smoking it on an empty stomach, which did not help. First time I have had a smoke that made me queazy (Probably the taint to my review).
On the plus side, the extreme had an enjoyable flavor I would say was nutty, maybe somewhat "woodsy" in taste. It had excellent smoke quantity and quality, and was not un-pleasant to smell. The cigar had excellent ash retention, and burned evenly to the last draw.
If I was into stronger smokes, I would not pass this smoke up. But if you are more of a mild to medium smoker, you might find this one on the strong side.
