Yeah, I got some freebies a while back too. I think they were Robustos.
A buddy and I fired a couple up, and they were so-so. Not dog rockets, but not something I'd rush out and stock up on. I can't recall a single thing about the profile, so memorable they weren't. By the same token, neither of us pitched them in digust, so they must have at least resembled a tobacco product to some degree or another.
Vendors usually give out freebies either to introduce a brand/vitola, or to get rid of something they can't move. I strongly suspect in this case it's the latter.
Light one up and post what you think. I think I still have a few. I need to know if I should save them for friend, or foe.

I had a few maduros recently & thought it was a decent cigar. The link above is to an online review of the nattie. He didn't seem to care for the cigar. The review seemed overly dramatic to me (note that he hopes that the cigar doesn't make him sick "before" he lights it up).

I agree with Ashcan Bill. I got a free 5-pack of Equus Cameroons thrown in with an order from Atlantic Cigars about a year ago. I tried one & was thoroughly unimpressed.
Not bad-tasting, just nothing to send smoke signals home about.
I believe a good description would be "yawner".
I offered up the remaining 4 with some other cigars in a Thanksgiving Turkey giveaway here.

Like some others here, I've received them as freebies with my Atlantic orders.
My main complaint was that the wrapper always (almost always) came undone. As good or better than many house or bundle brands. The smoke was mild and a litttle bland but, not a throw-away although I would not purchase or pursue these.
