Michael, thanks for the comment, but I didn’t write this cigar off. As you read, I said it was actually quite decent. I just said it wasn’t Cigar Of The Year material. There were many other cigars that I think should have rated much higher.

I have recently smoked handful of this superb cigar. The Smokers Den in Clearwater FL has the robusto for $4! I am a huge fan of this cigar and have added it to my every day rotation. I do want to point out that there have been many sub par reviews of this cigar all over the net. Most of these reviews are written on the first smoke and usually complain about construction. I don’t think one can accurately say that a cigar isn’t worth the hype unless you have smoked more than 3. If you’re one of the unlucky ones who have written this cigar off after 1 stick, do yourself a favor and buy 2 more. I promise that you will be back for more!

I really want to pick up some of these… see if they really do stack up to the Padrons, or the EO Cubaos or Don Pepin Garcia Blue Labels. Good price, but is it really the “best?”

@ CM – I’m with you there: not even a top 5.

I really can’t see how this cigar topped the Padron 80th. That doesn’t even make sense. Is it a good cigar… sure. It’s a good cigar, but I don’t think it’s even a top 5 cigar. Just my opinion.

I still haven’t tried one. I’ll have to wait until my next scheduled road trip to see if I can find a couple.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely a decent smoke, I just don’t think it’s Best of 2008 smoke. And the price point is a big winner. With tax, mine yesterday came to $5.30. That’s a helluva price for a good cigar nowadays. Still isn’t Best of 2008 though. That’s just my opinion, though, and you know what they say about those.

I remember smoking it before that ranking came out, thinking it was decent. I gave it a second chance after I saw that it was ranked #1, perhaps paying a little bit more attention. I was actually mildly impressed with it, given the price. But still…it seems pretty high on the ranking considering others that fell before it.

Oh well, still a good go-to smoke.

I dig this cigar. I have a box, making each cigar under $6. This could easily be an everyday cigar when I want a change from my Oliva G. I’ll bring these along with me when people who aren’t regular cigar smokers would like to have one. They’re always well liked.
