Friend just picked me up an Edicion de Silvio

[JRas224]

at one of the local shops. Anybody tried these?

[nhcigarfan]

sure, is yours natural, maduro or cam?

[JRas224]

cameroon

[CoventryCat86]

I've smoked them and they are way over priced for what they are. They are a well constructed cigar but I think the taste is nothing to write home about.

If you're going to spend that much on a cigar, at least smoke Davidoffs....

[ggiese]

For the money - Davidoff can't be beat!!! Especially if you're gonna drop $25 for a cigar...

I've not tried the cameroon or maduro yet. The natural was nice, but very over priced.

If you REALLY want a treat for the same money - get one of the new Davidoff Diademas 100th Anny - now THERE's a cigar!!!

I've always been one of the few big perdomo fans but I have to agree with the two BOTL's above, these cigars are overprice, and bit mild. They really should be priced at about 1/2 msrp. The flavors are a little too subtle to command the current price. Also the packaging, even though I like it, has got to add some serious numbers to the price tag.


Edit - changed from "two jokers" to "two BOTL's" - got to show the elders some respect you know.

Why start now you old geezers.

Beside both have forgotten more about cigars than I'l ever know.

Good tasting cigar, way over priced. Also, I have had problems with the wrappers being too thin and splitting (no they weren't too dry).

In fact, the Edicion's were the last straw for me with Perdomo. Every other cigar I've tried that was made by him has been fucked up in one way or another (burn issues, split wrappers, plugged, etc.). Several of the B&M's in my area won't carry Perdomo because they say there are too many customer complaints about his gars.

No more Perdomos for this Rat.

gee...another overpriced cigar from perdomo....imagine my surprise!!.
