flor de cano?

[Drake]

anybody smoked those? i'm thinking about ordering some. they're fairly inexpensive.

[Drake]

well, i ordered some. it was $86 with shipping for a box of 25. so unless they are just awful cubans, then i'm sure they're worth it. i'll let you guys know what they're like.

[hex1848]

Not bad. I hope you enjoy them.

[Yeagermeister]

excellent! I hope you enjoy them, brother.


let me know how they are...i may pick up a box myself

regards,


matt

i got what i paid for.

[hex1848]

Doh! That sucks man. Keep them in your humidor for a while, they might need to age a couple of months. What was so bad about them?

[Drake]

yeah, that's what i was planning on. they're stamped sept 04. but they just taste very generic. nothing all that great about em. they don't taste bad, just not great. they don't burn very even and they're a little tight.

the other day, i smoked a macanudo gold label and it was the first time i ever noticed a 'fresh' taste. but not a good fresh. like it was too new. and these have that as well.

[cockyhoskins]

Let them sit for awhile. It can only help.

[Drake]

well, i smoked another one the other day. its been about a month. definitely a huge improvement. based on this one, they are worth what i paid. the other one i smoked was right when i got it. hadn't spend 1 minute in a humidor, so that could have had something to do with it. it burned very even, it was a little tight, but not bad enough to really complain about. probably gonna let em sit another month before i smoke another.

Very good advice. I've had a few cigars that were god awful when I first had them, but that got better after resting nicely for six months to a year. Don't send the verdict to the judge just yet on these.
