I just had a MBIII robusto a few weeks ago. It's a good cigar, but there are others I like more in the same price range or even costing a bit less. Honestly I like the Serie O more, especially when considering the cost (as I'd rather have two of the Serie O for the same price as one MBIII). The MBIII scored an 88 on my scale. It was nutty w/a mild peppery finish. Midway thru it had a hint of mint & pepper (first time I ever tasted mint in a cigar). Had some burn issues too which upset me, but overall it was a smooth, complex cigar that was also lightly sweet at times.
