Is anyone else excited for these to come out? The project has been a great smoke. It's one of my cheap go to's. I'm excited to try these...

I liked the initial batches of Genesis a lot.
The more recent batches.........just ok.
Odyssey was a total miss for me.
I STILL haven't broken out my box of Habano Robs........so I'll have to wait to pass judgement.

The "Olancho"?...............I'm not sure how I feel about a "partially fermented" wrapper.
But I'll likely give one a try once I can snag them for $2/ea.
The A Presidente looks like an interesting new size.

Meh, I'm with ^

The first couple boxes of Genesis were fantastic with age, the more recent ones weren't. Have about 5 of the old ones left, and a box n a half of the newer ones - likely gonna ship overseas.

Odyssey was a decent yard gar considering the buck a piece I bought em for, but only bought once.

The habanos were a miss for me.

Probably won't be buying anymore RB unless well recommend by others.

Not impressed with anything Bueso. It would have to be quite a buy to get me to buy anything else from him.

The project I have needs another visit, the box was smoking very well then I smoked one awhile back when i was sick and it was cold out, flavor was very muted none of the chewy sweetness that I remembered. I will give them another try with fingers crossed. Also still holding out hope that they release a 4x44 petit corona project. Drool

The habano while good just doesn't flip my switches on flavor, some resting time in the humi out of the cellophane seems to help.

I'll have to try this new Bueso when it comes out, too bad they had to hide the wrapper under such a huge band. I really hate big bands, although I don't mind cedar sleeves. They have a purpose atleast.

I've never had one of the Bueso odyssey cigars and doubt I will ever try one from seeing the meh reviews from people on here.

Haven't seen these here yet, anyone try one yet?

Was interested in trying the H. Upmann yarguera then I read the review on HW and now I'd only try one if its gifted to me.

Any other '16 new releases that are worth trying?

Got an email CI that the Olancho was in stock- write up said it tastes like no other cigar. I don't know if that is good or bad, but I'm in no hurry to try them out.

They were giving them out as one of the freebies at CigarFest this weekend. It will rest for a while.

Isn't that what everybody was selling in the late '90s when they couldn't make them fast enough?

The Bueso Olancho is great cigar. Upper medium to lower full flavor/strength.
Has plenty going on such it has flavor complexity that is really enjoyable from
beginning to the end. I lite one up today and liked it so much I smoke a second one
immediately. I NEVER DO THAT. That is how much I liked it. Construction, appearance
and draw were all what a premium cigar should provide. For many cigar that lingering
aftertaste is not pleasant but the Olancho's finish was nothing but great. I think
that is why I could smoke two in one sitting. I was drinking a unique Coffee Bourbon with
the first cigar and switched to a strong smokey scotch for the second. And it
paired very well with both. I highly recommend this cigar. Excellent smoke.

I got some and was looking forward to it because I liked the Genesis a lot, but when I smoked it, I thought the Genesis was better... I didn't let the Olancho sit more than a couple weeks, though. Maybe it needs to sit longer. Bought a 5er and will be a while b4 I smoke another.

The first Olancho I smoked was very good. Hard to pin down, but savory, and it reminded me of when I first started smoking cigars and my taste buds were fresh. I was excited.

The second one turned bitter halfway through, and became downright nasty. I haven't screwed up the courage to try again, but I will eventually. Usually, that type of wild swing from one cigar to the next indicates some serious quality control issues.
