I'm new to this whole trading thing, but here goes.

I have four Torano Exodus torpedos and four Ashton Aged Maduro #20's (that's 5.5" x 44 ring) that just don't "do" it for me.

Looking for more powerful smokes that I know I like, such as LGC Serie R #6 Maduro, Oliva 'O' Maduro, ERDM (not sure which variety of ERDM it was I tried, but I was impressed.)

I've also got some misc. computer equipment I may consider trading, mostly old laptops and accesories.

Those are also listed as mild to medium, so... I'll probably think the same thing about those.

Though I forgot to mention I will also trade for equivalent value in 5 Vegas torpedo or Onyx Reserve in any size.

Basically anything that CI says is medium to full I'm willing to give a try.

How about some Criollo Patos? Just got the box from CI, have not tried one but here is what they say:

This highly-anticipated release from CAO is a beauty through and through. The term Criollo (cree-oy-yo), originating in Cuba, means simply "native seed." To produce an outstanding cigar, CAO combined a vintage Criollo '98 wrapper with fine Cuban seed Nicaraguan long-fillers, making this cigar the perfect marriage of Cuba and Nicaragua

Made in Carlos Torano's Nicaraguan factory, the Criollo offers a full-bodied, rich and satisfying taste. The flavor simultaneously hearkens back to the taste of old Cuba with a nod toward the rising tide of outstanding new Nicaraguan cigars.

Let me know.

BTW - I would be interested in the Ashton Aged Maduro #20's (that's 5.5" x 44 ring).

Regards,

If that does not work, how about this:

Flor de Oliva Diademas - Here is what CI says about this one:

love this size. This has got to be the hands-down most difficult size cigar to make. The Diademas is narrow like a lancero at the foot, then bulges into a fat base near the bottom, and gradually tapers to a torpedo head. You’re almost assured of an even light and even burn every time. Introduced a few months ago, this one’s another winner by Gilberto Oliva and company. Made with quality Nicaraguan and Dominican leaves and a rich, oily Sumatra wrapper, the taste is creamy and full-flavored. 6.5"x60

The Ashtons are a done deal. Exodus '59s still available.
