81104 Buena Vista EL gonna get back on the train of trying these cheapos I bought looking for the ones that punch above their weight.
2nd of 10 I bought thinking it was the old buenavista or at least close to it. First one I said was a total airball. Could see the smoke, smell the smoke, but no flavor or texture. I said I'd revisit after a few weeks and do it as the first cigar of the day. It's not bad at all. Started off super mild. Almost to the point I considered ditching it. But I kept on and the 2nd 3rd it ramped up a bit to a medium. Some more cedar and spice flavors, a bit more texture/mouthfeel. Draw is perfect, I like a draw that's more open than more tight. If my cheeks pucker inward, it's too tight. This one's perfect. Finished out it's one note song, I put it down at the band. I believe I got these for about $3per and its priced right. It's a $3 cigar. Won't be buying again but the first one had me considering binning the rest. I'll smoke em. Decent yard gar, not a garage recliner cigar. Still don't like that they took the branding of a good mid-level smoke and slapped it on this thing. Nothing offensive, but nothing exciting in this one.
