I couldn't resist the temptation. Bought a couple of boxes when C-Bid had the big sale. The cello was all yellowed,(I hope it was from age and not because someones pet got lose in the warehouse!). Finally tried one after a couple weeks in the coolerador.
Not bad, Really. Mild flavor with an easy draw. Hey they ain't no primo, but for $.65 ea, I can't complain.

P.S. I also have some Rovanoff's and Cibao's I have yet to try. Any of you have opinions on these?

Did the same thing. For me the Encanto is sort of a "go to" cigar when I don't have the time or situation to fire up a more premium smoke. They're also good to give to those mootchers who've, "just gotta try one of your cigars," when you haven't offered one. The taste isn't terrible and you're right, you certainly can't beat the price. Haven't tried the other two. I have found the Don Lino line to be in sort of the same catagory as the Encanto, as far as my taste, particularly the Maduro version.

The Cibao's are in a different catagory. IMHO these are much better smokes than the others. I keep them in my regular daily smoke box and they never have let me down.

The last box I got from cbid were very well aged, mild to med, and very consistant. Not bad for the coin at all.

PT ;-)

I also bought a box of the Encantos and loved it especially when taking the price into consideration. I lucked out and was able to trade for a half box. I now have plenty of decent every day/mooch cigars.

I bought a few boxes of these here awhile back for a song and am down to my last few sticks. Not only did they not suck, I liked them. Nice Honduran profile, easy anytime smoke.
