You must have patience. With all the overbidding lately I was somehow able to pick up a box of the Fittipaldi Vintage Maduros for $31! Are these any good?

...eh ... they're ok. The wrapper looks like it's been painted on! Once you go through those, I doubt you will buy them again ...

Sorry, but they didn't do anything for me!

I've had them too. They're ok. They sell for $3+ in De. I just couldn't pull the trigger though. May as well throw another $10-$20 in there, and you can get a better cigar.

Thanks for the input guys. I figured for 31 bucks I couldn't go wrong. And they're the short belicosos. At only 4.5" long they should be good for the quicky smoke when time is tight. I'll give my review after I have a few. Joe.

I have 4 Fittipaldis left from a 5-pack. I'll smoke them after some time in the 'gloo. I have several brands I like a whole lot less than the one I smoked.

Smoked my first one. Actually pretty tasty. The wrapper is delicious, and seems to offer the bulk of the flavor. The filler is somewhat lacking in taste, so the overall smoke is a bit flat with no depth, but the wrapper is so good it seems to make up for that. Since it's a short smoke (4 1/2"), you don't have time to get bored with the flavor.
