This has been my go to cigar for the past half a year or so. I tried them on a whim, and instantly fell in love. Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, over 3 different Dominican Ligero leaves and 1 Nicaraguan Viso leaf. The binder is Dominican. Lots of deep dark coffee, espresso and baker's chocolate, with a slightly sweet finish, a decent amount of black pepper, and hints of citrus and nuts. The smoke has a very creamy mouthfeel, and smoke output is well above average. Strength is full, but it sneaks up on you and can catch you unaware.

I've tried the Robusto (5" x 50) and the Corona Gorda (6" x 47). The Corona Gorda is my hands down favorite of the two. I've gone through maybe 4 boxes, with 6 additional boxes in my coolers. I hope to add more before my supplier runs out. Keep in mind these are the original Untamed, not the Untamed Extreme that are offered here. From what I've read, the Extreme uses the same wrapper and binder, but the filler is 3 Ligero leaves (2 Dominican and 1 PA). I'll have to give them a try if I can find them here at auction for cheap.

Of course being who I am, I've been grabbing these for just under $2 a stick (after my discount), not the $150 - $180 a box most places want for them.

Has anyone else tried these or the Extreme? Opinions?

I tried 1 when they were first released. Don't remember much except that it didn't hit my sweet spot so haven't looked into buying more.

Mrs Dpnewell sure does ash a lot of cigars, 4 boxes in 6 months. Get a job or at least a lettered truck with a rack on it lol.

I tried one when they came out as well (B&M not Internet cigar) and I didn't care for them, maybe I'll try again. I usually end up grabbing an LFD300 Oscuro Ligero or Tatuaje PCR everyone I go there. But I've been trying more mBombay lately.

Bought a box of them a few months back and enjoyed it. Not amazing, but very solid.

Good cigar. Of course not having mastered the art of the buy I paid more like 2.5 a cigar which I thought wasn't to bad.

I got a box of the Corona Gorda size Untamed awhile ago, when a place was offering buy one get one. I wanted two boxes of La Palina Mr. Sam, but naturally when I tried to get the second box, the site said their quantities were limited so choose something else. I chose the Untamed. Good solid and strong cigar...stronger than most other La Aurora offerings. However, there were a few, maybe one out of four or five, that developed a bitter tasting oily tarry resin at about the halfway point. Because of that, I haven't gotten anymore...

Calculating the relative prices of the two boxes, knowing what Mr. Sams sell for at a good price, I prolly paid about $3/Untamed.
