Going to the owner and getting 2 boxes. Please add yourself to the list and tell me know how much you want, to make sure I get a sufficient amount when I go.

House Blend List:
1. Silencei2 - 5ver
2. slcraiders - 5ver
3. Bassfever - 5ver
4. Heftysmokes - 5ver
5. logan37 - 5ver

$6.95 before tax. Maybe $8 after tax? Will get more details when I meet with owner this weekend.

I'll probably get 3 boxes........one box for me to age. So, if you guys want more, I can always get them later on. I definitely want to give Cigar Palace as much business as possible regarding their House Blend, cuz it's truely a great value considering what we are comparing it to.

Are they anything like these?

An interesting story on the owner of tnt cigars:

What a douche!:smiley36:

I guess I can see why the guy's pissed. If his wife is 23, how long could they have possibly been married? Than being the case, what fuggen judge would award her $475,000.00?

That just plain ain't right.

Hmmm. Never had the TNT one. Does it really taste like a PAM 64? I'd be curious to know, cuz the prices are insanely cheaper!

I have some of the TNT's but haven't smoked them yet. Sometime I'll have to try the TNT v. Cigar Palace v. Padron 64. I might try that on my spring break.

I have tried the TNT. they arent bad for the price. I am hoping these are going to be much better.

Was curious if any of you guys tried the cigars yet.

What do you think and is it what others have suggested?

Smoked one a couple of weekends ago. Honestly, I found very little resemblence to the 1964 torpedo- construction, appearance and especially taste. It was not a bad smoke, but not in the same league as the Padron. The one I had was also somewhat plugged and I had to work very hard to get any volume in smoke. I will try another in a few months to see if my opinion changes because after all, it is not good to judge most cigars based on just a single experience.

I finally got around to smoking one last night and was impressed with the construction of this cigar. It had a nice draw, burned well and had a nice ash (no tightness/plug issues as slc mentioned).

However, as far as flavor/complexity, there was really no comparison for me to the 64.
Overall a nice smoke, just nothing I'd really go out of the way for.

I sent a few out to some other members who I trust to review these; hopefully they can give us some reviews a little more in-depth and inclusive than mine.

Hefty dropped one of these in my lap to try, thanks again brother! :smiley20:

The smoke overall was not that bad, but I had one hell of a time keeping this thing burning, well, at least the wrapper. It tunneled pretty severely and had to be corrected several times. The smoke didn't feel over humidified or soft at all.....especially since I dry boxed it since it arrived.

The flavor is not comparable to the Padron, though I guess it may "remind" some of a Padron . There is little depth or complexity to the flavor....pretty straight up and singular throughout the smoke, imho.

I dunno, I don't think I would pay the asking price for these, they are too expensive for a daily rotation smoke for me, and not complex or interesting enough to be anything else.

Interesting. Seems like everyone had a different experience with this cigar. I may have to smoke a couple more and see if I had the same experience as I had before.

Thanks for the opinions guys!

Sorry it has not come up to all the hype I gave it.

Hefty sent me one of these to try (thank you sir!:smiley20:). My first impression was it doesn't taste anything at all like a PAM (gee, no surprise:smiley36: ), BUT I have to say, it was a pretty good cigar.

Unlike ashauler, I had no problem at all keeping it lit. I had to run some errands so I lit it up in the car. I had to go to Home Cheapo and I was in the store for about ten minutes and when I got back to my car, it was still burning which isn't usually the case. This cigar burned nice and evenly for the whole time I was smoking it and for me, the draw was indeed similar to a higher end cigar like and Opus X/Davidoff/Padron 1926 as opposed to the regular ole run of the mill domestic cigar.

I thought the construction and burn were top notch but like I said, the flavor of the wrapper was nothing like a high end Padron and it just plain didn't do much for me.

I have to say though that if I smoked these more regularly, I could probably develop a liking for them because to me, burn and draw are important and so many mid-priced domestics just plain suck in these areas but again, this cigar was much better than average. The draw was nice and firm, just the way I like it.

I would maybe pay $5.00 for these but not much more than that, definitely not $10.00.

Good assesments. Here is a quick shot of the two products side by side:

well I must say they are better than the TNT brand. I think Cat hit it right on the head. If they were a tad bid cheaper I could have a new everyday smoke. You said cigar palace carries these?
