OK, I just had another one today and I've decided that these cigars are not for me. After the first one I was undecided if I actually enjoyed it or not. But now that I've had a 2nd one I'm pretty sure it's not a cigar that I'd buy again.

Ratings so far from the Cuban Crafters sampler on a scale of 1 to 10:

La Carolina : 2.5 Spicy and bitter and not that much else. The 2nd one just stank up my workshop
Don Kiki Green: 3 Good for newbies, not really all that much there though as far as flavor or complexity.
Don Kiki Red : 8 Sweet chocolate goodness. My favorite cigar so far.
Cuban Crafters: Cameroon: 8 My 2nd favorite cigar so far
C.E. Beck & Co : 1.5 Almost a dog rocket

Non Cuban Crafters Cigars:

5 Vegas Robusto: 5 Decent cigar, not unpleasant but there's nothing really outstanding about it.

La Gloria Cubana Wavell : 5 Good newbie cigar but now that I've had better I can see how it suffers by comparison.

Garo Hubana Maduro: 1 A dog rocket with notes of manure and burning trash.


I think my "On Deck" cigar is going to be either a Perdomo Signature Collection or a Don Kiki Brown. I do have 2 R Salezar's from the CC sampler though.

Decisions decisions.
