Anyone smoked these?
I bought a box here on a whim. The regular line is a bit too mild for me (though, I think, still pretty decent), so I thought I'd try the maduro. It promised to be fuller bodied, and it was. Quite tasty!
Very even burn on the torpedo, light gray to white ash that clung together firmly. Smoked cool and smooth with an easy draw. The flavor had a lot of earthy tobacco flavors, with cocoa and sweetness all over the oily body. Very much a medium bodied smoke...nothing more, nothing less. Stayed consistent in flavor throughout, deepening a bit after the half-way point. Smoked to the nub and enjoyed every last bit. The aroma off the cigar was excellent, very cedary.
Highly recommended as an affordable smoke. If you like sweet tobacco flavor with some richness to take the edge off, this is a damn good smoke.
Got the box here for about $40. Great deal. They'd sat for two months before smoking, but I think will greatly improve with a bit of time.
