I had a La Aurora Preferido yesterday - my first one... It was "ok" - nothing great (a bit of a disappointment, considering what I've heard). I'll have to try it again to see if it was just a bad time, or a bad cigar...

**Diesel Grinch** · 06-09-2005, 01:25 PM

Not really today but this weekend line up. I hope for at least two of the five.

Mayorga Torpedo
Bolivar Fuerte Belicoso Fino
Royal Jamaica Park Lane
Flor De A. Allones Belicoso
Maria Mancini Magic Mountain

Bring some more if I happen to run into someone that's a BOTL.

Any recommendations on these?

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.

i had some black n milds and swishers, damn i missed my cigars lastnight, thats all my friend smokes. But tonight plan on having the montecristo les de artes? Was wanting to save it for couple more months, but think i'll smoke it tonight for the game before it gets too rough to smoke.

I'm curious about what you thought of the Java, and the Edge "missile" (maduro torpedo)...

I completely agree on the Graycliff - a "decent" cigar, but certainly not worth the hype or the price...

And the Davidoff Millenium

I wish I could afford to smoke those regularly...

i just saw this post for some reason. the java was pretty good. never smoked a flavored cigar before this one, so i don't have much to compare it to. it was pretty mild. and the flavor wasn't overpowering or too strong. and as i'm said many times recently, i love the edge maduro torps. definitely one of my favorites.

George now you got me doing the pee pee dance for the Flor De Allones.

**Drake** · 06-09-2005, 07:14 PM

i just bought a diamond crown maximus robusto that i'm going to smoke tonight.

and i almost bought an opus x double corona, but i couldn't pay that much.

Oh, dude - you are in for a treat!!! That is one of my top 5 favorite smokes!!! I like it better than the Opus X...

I had a Griffin's XXI (limited edition - just came out). VERY NICE!!! Great draw with lots of thick smoke - great medium bodied flavor - excellent construction. They retail for about $11.00 each - well worth it!!! Smoke these if you can find them!!! But hurry - they won't be around for long... That's the only thing I hate about these cigars - you get to like them and then they're gone!!! (just like the AVO LE05 - another absolute favorite of mine!)

**grand cru no 2** · 06-09-2005, 07:51 PM

Having a Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Churchill No. 1 right now. I can't get enough of these.

SFG75 · 06-09-2005, 07:53 PM

Just finished off a natural J.R. Ultimate natural-really great after taste

**MMAB** · 06-09-2005, 07:53 PM

Rocky Patel Sungrown Churchill.....what else?

The pee pee dance????

i didn't even put the price. the max. was 10.30 and the opus was 25.
that's too much for opus isn't it?

**flushh** · 06-09-2005, 10:17 PM

I had my very first Consuegra today. I figured I had to try these after hearing pretty good things about them...and what a price. This one was the No.16, the Governor, maduro. Pretty decent smoke. Darn good considering the price!

Not a ton of flavor or smoke, but it was a toasty, nutty flavor that was enjoyable. And I have twenty four of them left...all for the price of a single Padron 26!!

I think it's a bit overpriced. My store (when they have them) sells them for around $18-20.

I just finished up a Zino Platinum Grand Master. What an incredibly nice smoke - and I had been told otherwise!!! Tons of smoke, nice draw, incredible construction, great medium flavor. I nubbed that baby!!!

Now, if you can do it - put those away for about a year or two and try them again!!! You won't think you're smoking the same cigar!!!
