Greast Smoke! Is it just me?

[guenzak]

I have mentioned this cigar in a few of my posts and no one has commented on it and I am curious if other have tried it and their opinions.

Recently I have been hooked on La Aroma De Cubas. Mostly the Robustos but also a couple of Figuardos. I think the flavor is quite smooth while being very full bodied. Not overpowering in the least. The only downside I have experienced with these is a slightly uneven burn but it is very slight. Cigar Aficionado rated the robustos a 93 back at the end of 2003 which doesn’t surprise me. Even my wife, who doesn’t smoke but likes the smell of a good cigar burning, said she really enjoys the scent of these more than most of the others I smoke. I have tried many other quality cigars in the past 6 to 8 weeks and none seem to be living up to these. Is this just me or are these smokes really hitting their peak?
I would love to hear from others that have smoked these recently.

Hmmmm, can't say that I've ever had, let alone heard, of those. You got a link where one can get those online? I would definitely be interested in reading up about them.

I think I may have had a few of these about 4 years ago. Real fancy band with a chick on it? Lots of blue? Came in glass top boxes I believe.

If this is the cigar I'm thinking of I thought they were ok. Reminded me alot of the Dominican Red Dot Cohibas at a fourth of the price. Not a bad smoke for the price but I never got into them.

I'd go Mayorga for the price range. Just my .02.

Those are a nice cigar - I like them as well for exactly the same reasons as you say - and very reasonably priced!!! Good call

Very good for the price as you have said.

I also just noticed as I was getting these links that these are made by Ashton. That could have something to do with the quality.

These arent bad but in my opinion arent that great either. Id rather have a JdN or a Punch for the money.

Personally I dont give much weight in ratings from the mags, especially CA. Look at the cigars they rated and then look at the full page ads. Its no coincidence that the companies taking out the big money ads get the high ratings. The rating is in direct correlation with the size of the ad.

Im not trying to sound mean. If you like them thats all that matters, Hell I really like Jericho coronas and those are as cheap a smoke as you can get.

I've pulled a few of these out of passes and had a few gifted to me. It seems they are popular among some cigar smokers but they did nothing for me. I thought they were kind of flat, construction was below average and I remember having burn problems due to stems. I also remember that the draw was too easy, like sucking on straw.

I won't be looking for these in the future.
