Any one have any opinions on this line of cigars? I usually smoke Padron Delicias as my everyday cigar. Any similarities? Cigars international had nothing but good things to say about them. (but they are also trying to sell them!)

I like 'em. Often compared to H. Upmann.

I prefer putting my cigars to rest at least 4-6 months, so I can't comment on a newly bought one. However, I now have about a year on a box of the torpedos and they are a very good daily type smoke. Medium bodied (I prefer full bodied), but enough to keep you interested to the nub. I posted a pic of one I smoked.

It's no wonder ... 5 Vegas are their biggest selling cigar, if that says anything ...

I am beginning to think I have an endless supply of these cigars. In the past the discontinued size that looks like a trumpet was put on close out and I got about 6 boxes of ten, then once the doble corona was on blow out and I got about four boxes of those, then they ran a blow out on the five pack torpedo sampler and I have god knows how many of those deep inside the cabinet, then for kicks once got a box of Churchill for dead cheap. Good thing I like them. Oh yes, there use to be a cigar called Adolphus made by the same compnay, I finished a box of those that were also very tastey.

Hey Joemar4,
In my opinion this is one of the best stogs I have ever smoked. Rich, creamy, flavorful, medium bodied. If you can land a 5 Vegas torpedo, do so. Rated 90 in Cigar Aficianado and worth every rating point! Happy SMOKES JOE4O.
