not much mention of them in the forums here.
just made a very rare purchase, grabbed a 10 cigar sampler for $40, shipped.

4 x reserve limitada
2 x SP seleccion privadas
1 x el gran rey
1 x buenventura
1 x achilles
1 x gloria de leon

a couple may be stronger than I currently like, but most should be in my wheelhouse, it's been so long since I've had any of their line I simply do not recall. Most likely they won't get smoked until Spring so may mellow a bit.

customer reviews are 98.2% excellent...anyone here have much experience with this brand?

Thanks

I really like the Reserva Limitada Cafe's in the little PC size
El Gran Rey is a good smoke
Buenaventura's not bad but need age IMO
The Gloria de Leon is a damn good smoke.
The Achilles and seleccion privada's are just ok

appreciate it, Ron. Sort of a blind sampler, no vitolas specified and not even a hint about which of the Reserva Limitada lines will be represented.

But I seemed to recall enjoying Curivari a few years ago, all write ups are positive, many mention Cuban comparisons...at 4 skins a smoke, I'm thinking it was a good risk.

Happy New Year, bud.

I had some Seleccion Privada maddies that I got as filler on an order to hit free shipping and recall them being really good smokes. That was a few years ago though, so not sure if they've tinkered with the blend since then. I never ordered more as I was ordering more CCs after that.
