This smoke was a suggestion from the tobacconist and recommended to me as a full bodied stick.

The construction was good, cut and light were just fine. The ash was white, tight, and snapped clean about 1 1/2 inches in. I will have to say that, imho, this is not a full bodied smoke, much more to medium or even mild side of medium. I could not detect much flavor except tobacco. The aroma was pleasant, but not anything special.......which pretty much describes the entire smoke. O.K., but not something I would go out of my way to buy again.

I am curious if anyone has experience with these. By the way the tobacconist talked about this stick, I wonder if I somehow got a bad example?? I can't really see trying 2-3 more of these without someone here relating a good experience with them, although I know its been said that you should smoke 3-5 before deciding :smiley20: or :smiley21: .

I'm guessing you're talking about the Oscuro here. I enjoy these and always have a few in my cooler. I think you're right though - they are closer to medium than full. They're pretty straighforward, consistent smokes, and the price is right.

Yes, my fault for not including in the original review, it was Oscuro. I was expecting more after the description the shop owner gave me. I agree, it was pretty straightforward and an O.K. smoke for the $$. I might get a couple more and let them sit abit, I smoked this one the same day I picked it up.

I enjoy the ERDM Robusto Larga the most but on a nice summer day with a cold beer the Suprema seems to fill the bill. I do not have a gifted palate, the rating system my friends and I use is on the burny, ashy, smoky, tobaccoy scale cigars are good or bad. These are on the good side for me.

The first one or 2 of these I smoked didn't leave much of an impression on me either. Now I find them enjoyable and a good perfomer in that price range. My hmidor always has a few of these inside.
