By the recommendation of a fellow BOTL, I had a Grand Habano Corojo #5. It is a very well priced smoke (in other words, CHEAP!). Not bad construction, burn was very even, taste was very nice (medium strength and body), tons of thick, rich smoke. I very much enjoyed it, and highly recommend it to others!!!

Here's a couple of sources, if you're interested...

Smoked a Punch Petit Coronation Tubo this AM. Full of that ISOM twang.

I recommend you have a STRONG drink when you fire up the Flor De Allones!!! Those can be on the peppery side!!! That is one STRONG smoke.... If you like the Flor de Allones, and you can find the Joya de Nicaragua Antano or the the La Flor Dominica Double Ligero Maduro Chisel - give those a try!!! I like them a tad better!!!

I love the Bolivar Fuerte Belicoso - but my local shop doesn't carry them I pick them up where I can. Those are a very nice smoke.

I've not tried the Mayora, Royal Jamaican or the Maria Manicini... I've heard the Royal Jamaican is pretty mild.

George,

I liked the Maria Mancini Magic Mountain Cigar but the Bolivar just was a dog rocket. Maybe I just got a bad one. Check my reviews for more info.

Diesel - the regular Bolivars just don't do it for me - but the FUERTE's - especially with some age on them...

Sorry guys, had to do it... It was a curiosity thing more than anything else....

I had one of the new Drew Estates Java "Waif". What a strange looking cigar!!! If you look down on it, it looks like a pox pressed cigar. When you pick it up and look at it sideways, it is wafer then.... Very strange...

And I should have known from the shape it was going to have draw problems... The flavor was OK - not like the robusto size (for some odd reason). Thankfully I only bought one (at $4.00!). I did buy a few of the robusto size and put them away for momma....

And I picked up a box of the Griffin's XXI today!!! I'm telling you - if you can find them latch on to them!!! This is an incredible smoke for roughly $8-9 each (in the 10 count box).

Returned to an old favorite - the Partagas Black Label Clasico. My lips are still oily with taste. Delightful.

Went to my new favorite-Indian Tabac Super Fuerte natural. yummy!.

George this was a Fuerte. Maybe it just wasn't aged right or maybe it was me.
