I was wondering from the "Experts" what they think of this cigar?

Regards,

I recently tried these for the first time and really enjoy them. Medium bodied, lots of flavor, and they burn really well. Good value, too. I will get more.

Since there's a lack of experts stepping forward, I'll contribute my very limited knowledge on this one ... I agree that they're quite smooth and even burning, but think them to be very mild-bodied ...
And, like others in the Kelner line, they ARE quite well constructed

Are you questioning the regular Occidental Reserve line, or the Havana Sun Grown...they are very different cigars.

Steve,

This is what CI said about them: Occidental Reserve cigars are handmade, long-filler cigars created by Hendrick Kelner (Davidoff's famed cigar maker). Occidental is crafte with stunningly beautiful Connecticut shade wrappers from the 1998 crop, and a long-filler combination of Dominican Piloto, Olor, and San Vincente tobacco. This is an exceptionally smooth, mild and pleasant Dominican smoke that is consistently good cigar after cigar. Cigar Size: 6.0" x 52 ring.

Don't see sungrown here.

In that case, I will tell you what I thought of them. For a mild bodied cigar they are very good. Flavorful and somewhat complex. And of course, they are constructed very well. However, I prefer a more full bodied smoke, like the sun growns.

The Sun Growns are here:

Steve - Thanks for the tip. I liked them alot and thought that I would ask others opinion.

Remember if you see smithbw - please don't overbid me I am an underpaid civil servant. And my wife is asking me how we are going to pay for all of these cigars...

:)
