Anyone ever try this smoke?...I've only seen it at my local tobaccionist who recommended it...Its got a natural wrapper, robusto size (Unk if it comes in other sizes), the band is purple and white...Its one of the strongest cigars I've ever tried, almost as strong as a Bolivar (ISOM)...Great flavor too, long finish!..Must be a LOT of ligero leaves in the blend..I LOVE 'em!...Just wondering if anyone has heard of them or have tried them..BTW, NO...Its not comparable to "Salazars"..This is a real cigar..Price is only $3.15 each too...Incredibly good!

you seem to like the very full flavored cigars dont' you? Have you tried the Ashton VSG's yet? These babies are potent.

Ashton VSG in my opinion, is one of the MOST overrated cigars out there right now. Although the construction, appearance, burn and aroma are outstanding, I found the VSG to be lacking in flavor. Most folks claim it to kick a$$ in flavor, but I only found it medium to full-bodied. It's a really good cigar, but not THAT kick-a$$.

No...Haven't been able to find them at all, and I've been looking everywhere...Heard great things about them though..Another stogie I enjoy (and I know several of you have heard of them) is Andros, which can be found (as far as I know) only at another cigar merchant...CI, Are you listening?...Please get these and put them on auction!..I'd be the first in line!

CI won't carry Andros until MLB removes it from the banned substance list. Sincerely, M. McGuire

Do you know it's origin? Certainly sounds like a Hund or Nic. Maybe made specifically for your dealer?
