    Default My Sherpa Diablos are here! My Sherpa Diablos are here!

    Every once and a while a cigar catches my attention. I have seen the Sherpa name around on the internet and I know it's a Hansotia / Torano endeavor.

    Funny, no one around here carries them. But I was able to get a 5 pack off of Cigar-Bid.

    Anyone tried these yet? I'm letting them rest up a bit in the hunidor before I smoke one.

    Of course they're an "inexpensive" cigar. My experience has taught me that they're usually crap. But every now and then you get a surprise.

    Opinions?

    For the money, one of the best smokes (IMO) you'll find. I can't believe they're priced where they are. As BKCloud says, the Sherpa Mystic is a very nice smoke!!! I think you'll be surprised.

    I can't speak for any other Sherpas, but the Mystics in my opinion are a medium to mild smoke,...... very creamy

    I have tried the Mystic Dos Capas, Diablo and "orange". I have found them to be mild in strength but with good flavor. Not my favorite but a good cigar for the price.

    I like these. They are a bit mild so makes for a great breakfast cigar for the 3-6 a day guys like myself. I think you'll be surprised as well.

    Tommy, the other Sherpa in ur humi is a Diablo (I peeked).

    I remember them having some good flavor, a few notes that I couldn't identify at the time. I really didn't care for the others that they have. A good yard-gar no doubt.

    Default OK...just got my Sherpa Toros...

    I forgot about that auction on Cigar Bid. I came home to day to find a package had come from CB and I had no idea what it was!

    They smell like Indian Tabac Cameroon Gorillas (pre-light that is). I'll set these aside for a bit before I try them.
