Gotta ask...anybody have comments on this blowout smoke? Seen them before, but felt the name was too gimmicky. What's the scoop?

There are three versions, of which of I prefer the "Smokin Lulu" (a small perfecto)...Its a spicy medium flavored cigar with a Sumatra wrapper (similar to the Tamborils), made in the Philipines, with the typical great draw of a cigar made in this country...Its an excellent smoke!...The "Smokin Lulu" has a pigtail at the head..All of the Fighting **** are named for past Fighting **** champions (IE: Smokin Lulu, Rooster Red, and (I can't for the life of me remember the last one) one more..The "Smokin Lulu" is the only one I can personally recommend..Enjoy!

Sorry about the misinformation above...Its a Javan wrapper, NOT a Sumatra wrapper...and the names are "Smokin Lulu", Rooster Arturo", and "Texas Red" ( Im not 100% sure on the last one..about 94% sure)...Now let me go and crawl into a deep dark hole...Oh the shame! :)

I won up a bundle of fighting **** "fly boys" a couple of weeks ago. I'd had them before. Only difference was, the ones I bought in the past came in a tube. I really like them. They have a nice draw and a good flavor. Medium to full bodied. Definitely worth the price.

Prior to responding to blowout never smoked one. Remember reading about a particulat FC but really couldn't remember which one so for 19.95 I figured I would give them a try for an everyday smoke. I usually age my cigars prior to smoking. I did however light one up upon arrival. Very mild, good burning. Hopefully, will become more flavorful with time.
