Wowwwwwwwwwwww!!! Smoked one of these about a month ago and felt that it was a good solid robust cigar with full flavors "hints of herbs" and the like! It made me a little dizzy, which is good, as I like cigars that kick the s--t out of me!

Made note to myself, not in cigar log, or other such stuff to try one again in a 3 to 5 week period of time! Well, ladies and gents, just finished a robusto and all I can say is.................."Wow"! These bad boys pack one hell of a punch!

make not to myself to add these to my "favorites" listing! If you have never smoked one, sit down and light up and then get ready!!!!!!!!!

Flying high from great robust cigar!!

Whereas I like the taste,I didn't enjoy the overwhelming power of these. This is definitely one cigar that will benefit from extended aging. X

These are just too strong for me. Strength for it's own sake doesn't appeal to me in a cigar. Nothing subtle about these! After smoking one I felt as if my head had been used as a pile driver.

A strong spicy schmoke indeed. Unfortunately;

There are no lots which match your search criteria.

DAMN IT, Charlie! Just finished one and OMG! This booger blew my head off. Hey, I'm for strong smokes, but whew! When I have to pop a Pepcid chewable afterwards, it's strong.

The belicoso left me nauseous, after smoking it well between meals. Eat first. And drink while smoking.

The taste was great, though.

Agree with the idea of longterm aging. Still, the smoke itself was so damn good that I am routinely attempted to test my nicotine tolerance.

I'd recommend it for a macho-type friend who you don't really like, who doesn't smoke cigars but acts like he does, who gets on your nerves so much that hearing a grown man barf after smoking a cigar would give deep satisfaction.

In other words, I have one earmarked for a 'friend' this weekend.

I think X is right, I love strong smokes. I like this one, but it would probably be better (perhaps much) with a year or two on it.

I concur, definitely. I've been trying to trade for these lately as well. I have a few but will be letting them sleep at least until Summer. The first one I had left me in a drunken stupor...or was that the scotch I had with it?...Either way; it kicked my a$$ but wow those flavors were nice. And to think I was letting these get away on the 5-pack and box bids. Now I'll be looking long and wide for the Robusto Grande.

Pretty good smoke. Very powerful! I think the 60 ring guage has something to do with that. It must be what putting your head over the business end of a smokestack is like!

...mussttt....smoookkkeee......annootthheer.......I am a glutten for punishment. Aside from the awe inspiring stength, the taste is great. Also, it draws like a dream, burns evenly and billows smoke. The aging issue is right on, but if your pounding back mass quanitites, why not include a cigar worthy of over-indulgence!

I agree with everyone here. After smoking one, you feel like you've been kicked by a mule. The flavors are great though. One of my favorite smokes tastewise. I just wish it wasn't so strong. The power almost ruins it. I think I'll let mine age till I'm 60 to mellow these out. I'm only 8 now. Whaaaa!

Finally got my hands on one of these badboys this afternoon and have to tell you guys and gals that it was worth the wait. It's a monster of a smoke and gave me a hell of a buzz after lunch. Thanx for the suggestions.-K
