    Ok.....let me make sure I'm understanding you guys correctly..........

    if you smoke a Macanudo right before you go to bed, it won't keep you up, if you have a full stomach, have had your fill of 24 oz. beers at the NASCAR event you just got home from and only made left hand turns on your way home from said event? Is this about right?? LOL

    Thanks for the replys guys. I now know what that guy was referring to. I did smoke one a few nights ago that came in one of the samplers I bought. My personal opinion of this cigar is it seemed like I was smoking air. There was absolutely no taste at all. I'm new to cigar smoking, (smoked cigarettes for about 16 years and quit about 5 years ago), and definitely don't know that much about cigars but the cigars that I enjoy the most, (so far) are the fuller flavored ones. Maybe I started out on the wrong end of the flavor spectrum but I enjoy the flavor of 5 Vegas Series "A", Maxx by Alec Bradley and Indian Tabac Maduro. I've been wanting to try a "Graycliff Espresso" but read a couple of reports about them burning unevenly and not really being that good of a cigar.

    Thanks again for the replys.

    The Espresso is ok but not worth the price. If the cigar was 6 or 7 bucks, instead of 20 or more, it would probably have a more favorable reputation.

    Try a Sancho Panza Double Maduro. I think you will like it.

    The Famous Maduritos are also pretty tasty. A real nice quick smoke.

    Also look into some Don Kiki Brown labels. Hit me up with your addy and I'll send you a couple.

    I've never had a Graycliff so can't comment on those, but Tyler speaks the truth with the SP Double Maduros. They may very well be one of the greatest deals out there in cigars.

    Thanks for the heads up on the "Sancho Panza Double Maduro". I'll have to check them out.

    I started off just like you and have the same taste for full bodied cigars. You should give the Partagas Black and Joya de Nicaragua a try.
