Seconds

What's a roly?? I ordered 2 bundles from JR just now. The Consuega Maduro No 9 and the Cohiba Robusto Knockoff. Neither got bad reviews, so hopefully they're somewhat decent smokes.

Go to Thompson's and search on Roly. Rolando Reyes seconds. I bought a bundle and didn't like them. Word is, Rolys ship wet - that is, with little or no aging. Others have said that they need to age in your humi. In my experience, if I don't like em young, I won't like em aged either.

The good news is that, at a buck a stick, buy a bundle and try them. You have little to lose.

After a little debate I figured what the hey, I'll try 'em. Any recommendations on a certain one?

I bought the Maduro Rothschilds. I liked 'em so much I bought a box of the real thing to try 'em out and didn't taste any difference. Obviously there's a construction difference, but I kinda like the rough, less than perfect look and feel on a daily garage smoke.

Smurf, I didn't find what you were talking about on mine (albeit I'm a Noob) and I enjoyed 'em straight off. That being said, who's to say this bundle I bought wasn't in the B&M for a year or more!!!

Leave it to say I'll be getting another bundle when I go back to that store, and will probably see what other size "Rolys" they have there.

If you like Carlos Torano, try the Brick. Pretty good bundle cigar but I can't remember offhand what they go for.
