These have been recommended to me by a couple of people. Reading the reviews most people think they are a good cheap cigar, but a couple of people complained that the quality has dropped, and a couple of others mentioned them being sweetened. Are they sweet? Their details say both no and yes.
I doubt I'd care for a sweet cigar. I intended on the Robustos, but want to make sure I won't be stuck with 20 cigars I won't like.

They do have a sweetened cap but the sweetness on the cap fades pretty quick. I personally think these are great and they are cheap.

The tip is indeed dipped in something sweet. I noticed it immediately since I tend to lick the tips before cutting or punching to help reduce the chances of a split cap. As Vincent said, it's just the outside that's dipped, so it goes away quickly.

I bought a bundle of the Corojo torpedos and have smoked 5-10 of them and like them, but I like most cigars with corojo wrappers.
I haven't noticed a sweetened cap on the Corojos. I think I would have noticed, but I'll pay close attention next time I fire one up.
They are pretty good for a cheap cigar.
