I've tried several of the lower-priced Madura cigars on offer at P & C. These are my favorite ones.

Great sticks for the price

The batch I received does have as easy a draw as the Factory Smokes Maduro and Factory Throwouts 99 Sweet which I had bought at the same time, but other than that it is a nice cigar.

Good everyday smoke. Construction and burn is decent

I'm no cigar expert by any stretch, but I really enjoy these. They're a good price, the flavor is good and they burn nice and even. I'd be the kind of guy that would enjoy wine in a box. Good taste at a good value! Nice to have these when you're not made of money!

Excellent cigar for such a great deal. I wanted some cheap sticks to fill my humidor and was very pleased and surprised when they turned out so well.

Like the price and taste. It holds the ash pretty well, not requiring frequent relegating. However there are a few that were dry causing wrapper cracking effecting the draw.

The Dark Sharks are a bit different depending on how they are smoked. At times I tend to puff quite often which leads these to burn a bit hot. Bitterness can come through quite heavily for the first half and a lack of any flavor in the second half when this is the case. Smoking them slowly is required to get a good flavor from these.
When smoked slowly they have a great mixture of a few different tastes melding to the point I am unable to discern what the different tastes are but comes through as a wonderful flavor for the first half. In the second half any bitterness disappears and a pleasant, mellow flavor including hints of cocoa and probably coffee appear. Towards the end a bit of spice shows up keeping these cigars from being dull.
Occasionally they will burn a bit unevenly but mostly due to drawing too often. Normally the uneven burns are small and will fix themselves.
After smoking about half the bundle the consistency from cigar to cigar is spot on.
Dark Sharks may not be premium maduro cigars but they do reach out and get closer to that point than I thought they would, especially for the price. I have tried a couple other budget maduro cigar brands which don't reach the overall quality and flavor of the Dark Sharks. It's likely going to be difficult to beat these for the price.
Overall for the price Dark Sharks are 4 stars. 3 stars at best if they have the bitterness but 4.5 stars when they don't. There are some other budget cigars I plan on trying but I expect I'll be ordering more Dark Sharks again.

The draw was very good. Mostly burned evenly. The flavor for me was stronger than what I'm used to. The rating is strictly a personal one Based on my tastes. Others could reasonably rate it s five star.

Only bought the Dark Shark Churchill because I couldn't get the gordo. The churchhills are long enough to cut in half since I don't have time for long breaks during the day.

Good smoke at an affordable price.

I'm fairly new to cigars, so I cannot offer a really "informed" opinion, but I CAN say that I really like these. The smoke is full and rich, and the flavor is smooth, without any nasty aftertaste.
I am inexperienced, but I found no problems with the quality of the product.
I am happily awaiting my second order of these.

I love these oily Maduro wrapped delights.

These are OK. They’re fine to pass out at the BBQ party or to take with you camping but they’re not a good value smoke to sit down and enjoy every day. There are much better options on this website for every day smokes with a favorable price point. They do burn even but you have to keep an eye on the ash because it doesn’t hold at all. Once these are gone I won’t be ordering again.

A really good cigar for an excellent price. Flavorful but not harsh.

I've been purchasing these for years. Rarely do I have any composition problems.In my opinion they are a good everyday cigar with a good bang for your buck!

Yes I bought dark sharks before and I still enjoy every smoke, they are a good smooth anytime cigar. They burn nice right up to where they are to short to hold on to.

These are my go-to daily cigars and punch above their weight for flavor and draw.

A great, mild smoke, if you’re looking for flavor and satisfaction, and you do t care about an impressive cigar band.

This is a great every day smoke. Clean uniformed even ash. No sharp or biting draw. Smoky sweet aroma. Chocolaty notes. I truly enjoy the experience. I highly recommend Dark shark to every body who enjoys a good every day smoke.....

Great cigar for price. very smooth and not a big buzz when you smoke it.

These are great cigars for the price. They aren't complex in any way, and they may be a bit one noted, but it's a good note, unlike anything else I've tried in this price range.

Nice and flavorful but not overpowering. Ashes neatly packed to almost two inches before falling off.

A wonderful cigar for working in the yard, or going for a walk. Decent flavor and strength. I have bought these in the past and will continue to do so in the future. As always P&C service is outstanding!
5 out of 5
Taste is pretty good especially for the price, even slow burn with a firm ash, stays lit. Although this smoke won’t compete with a high $ smoke, it makes for a very relaxing every day smoke!

I bought these for an after dinner smoke. They go nicely with some sipping bourbon. Would recommend to anyone wanting an economical cigar.
4 out of 5
For a cheap cigar, this was not a bad purchase. Here are my tasting notes: 1st 3rd (bitter pepper, with a dark nut finish), 2nd 3rd (the pepper left transitioning into a bitter espresso with cream, cabinet spice, and occasional orange zest), last 3rd (went back to a bitter pepper and occasionally had a mint cooling sensation on the finish. I am taking one star off because there were construction issues since the wrapper began unraveling. Thankfully, the ash did not tunnel. It was not a razor sharp burn but it did not need any touch ups. As a budget smoker, I found these to be very satisfactory and do recommend them as a cheap option.

Lights and draws well, nice and moist out of the package, fill up your humidor for 30 bucks and they last a long time. Has a spicy note, seems medium on nicotine, I bought them as a filler and pleased with how they smoke.

An interesting dark maduro well worth purchasing !!

This is an excellent cigar. It really holds an ash which indicates to me it is well constructed.

Dark shark is an excellent cigar for the price. I’ll absolutely do another bundle. I love cigars, but my guests only like them. The average smoker would never guess that these are less than 5 bucks per stick.

Well constructed, consistent flavor, medium bodied. An enjoyable smoke all around.

I gave these to my son as a Christmas gift and he says they are very good cigars. He was surprised when I told him the low price. He said they are as good or better than cigars he has paid $5 to $6 apiece for. I can tell you that they have a very nice aroma.

Dark Shark comes in Robusto 5 X 50R as well as the Churcchill style sold on this site. The Dark Shark is an oily maduro wrapped power house. It is rich and full flavored however, my first smoke tasted harsh and acidic early on, changing to a complex full flavor. I've smoked five of the robusto style thus far, liking how they make me feel as well as enjoying the taste. Cigar snobs may not give this one a first look however, don't be fooled by the price; it's a high quality premium hand made.

I was happy with the price and now with the smoke, it fits my budget and my taste.
