WOW, has anybody ever tryed and OCASO vintage? WOW, what a great smoke i would compair it to a davidoff mel. blend, but that is just me and it only cost me 4.00 here in Texas. My gar guy told me that the company was some how a part of romeo&J but split on difs. the regular OCASOs are a little more fav. than the Romeo&J vintage, but only 3 something a stick!! Sorry i am just so excited that I may have found something this good!! If OCASO is old news nevermind, i am slow.

OCASO is OSACO spelled backwards. Osako is a large Japanese city (the feminine version is Osaka) where the Ocaso is made using Hokkaido cloud-grown wrappers and Okinawa binders. They don't use filler because no one can pronounce it.

LOL at LT! "Filler" has to be a difficult word for them!
D - where in TX are you? I've never heard of this line. I may not be too far away from you, and I might come to town and pee in your Credo if this is a joke! :) If they're real, and better than RyJ Vintage, I might have to find a few.

LLT, Do they seed the clouds with Cubans?

When I was younger they used to seed the clouds in San Angelo but it would rain and they would wash out before they could grow.

Cliffie,

I am from Houston, but going to grad school at A&M here in collegestation the place i found the ocaso line was at jeffery stone lmt. in westlake square on westimer in houston. I am a love the Romeo and J vitage line but i truly think that the ocaso is a more full smoke and the cap constuction is a little better. Hell if you findem at the price i have give them a try.

I'd never heard of this one ... did a Web search and found the following review

----------------------------------------------------Ocaso
Sizes: There are four: Lonsdale, Robusto, Toro, Churchill

Character: light to medium

Price range: $4.75 - $6.00

Impressions: One cigar that deserves some special attention is a cigar called the Ocaso. The same man who made the Romeo and Julietta Vintage makes the Ocaso - Manual Quesada. His company was sold, and now he is now focusing his attention on the Ocaso brand.

If you are a fan of the Romeo and Julietta Vintage and have noticed a change in the cigar, you are right! It has changed because it's a different company and that cigar will never be the same.

Which brings us to the Ocaso - this cigar is the old Romeo and Julietta Vintage blend at a lower price. What can I say? Every time I smoke one of these cigars it takes me back to the time that I first discovered the Romeo and Julietta Vintage. It is a very light and creamy cigar with a pleasant aroma. This is a cigar that can be enjoyed even by the most hardy of cigar smokers. For all of you out there who enjoy a good mild cigar, you should try the Ocaso. Put it on your short list of cigars to try!

had a figurado shaped one last night. pretty impressive. had a nice dark oily wrapper and decent burn. kinda reminded me of the el rico habano habano club--until i tried to stand. it didn't taste strong while i was smoking it but it had an after-kick. or maybe those long island iced teas might have added to the effect. anyway i recommend it highly--the cigar ...
