also had an edge corojo toro and a padron maduro 6000 yesterday

By the recommendation of a fellow BOTL, I had a Grand Habano Corojo #5. It is a very well priced smoke (in other words, CHEAP!). Not bad construction, burn was very even, taste was very nice (medium strength and body), tons of thick, rich smoke. I very much enjoyed it, and highly recommend it to others!!!

Here's a couple of sources, if you're interested...

Rocky's Cigars

Nick's Cigar Worl

Smoked a Punch Petit Coronation Tubo this AM. Full of that ISOM twang. :smiley37:

If you like the Flor de Allones, and you can find the Joya de Nicaragua Antano or the the La Flor Dominica Double Ligero Maduro Chisel - give those a try!!! I like them a tad better!!!

I love the Bolivar Fuerte Belicoso - but my local shop doesn't carry them :smiley19: I pick them up where I can. Those are a very nice smoke.

I've not tried the Mayora, Royal Jamaican or the Maria Manicini... I've heard the Royal Jamaican is pretty mild.

George,

I liked the Maria Mancini Magic Mountain Cigar but the Bolivar just was a dog rocket. Maybe I just got a bad one. Check my reviews for more info.

Diesel - the regular Bolivars just don't do it for me - but the FUERTE's - especially with some age on them... :smiley20:

Sorry guys, had to do it... It was a curiosity thing more than anything else....

I had one of the new Drew Estates Java "Waif". What a strange looking cigar!!! If you look down on it, it looks like a pox pressed cigar. When you pick it up and look at it sideways, it is wafer then.... Very strange...

And I should have known from the shape it was going to have draw problems... The flavor was OK - not like the robusto size (for some odd reason). Thankfully I only bought one (at $4.00!). I did buy a few of the robusto size and put them away for momma....

And I picked up a box of the Griffin's XXI today!!! I'm telling you - if you can find them latch on to them!!! This is an incredible smoke for roughly $8-9 each (in the 10 count box).

Returned to an old favorite - the Partagas Black Label Clasico. My lips are still oily with taste. Delightful. :smiley20:

Went to my new favorite-Indian Tabac Super Fuerte natural. yummy!. :smiley37: :smiley37:

George this was a Fuerte. Maybe it just wasn't aged right or maybe it was me.
