Looks tasty. The Expresso is a Rothschild, which is one of my favorite vitolas.
I’ve never tried this HdM line.
Any opinions or experiences?
Thx

I can pick a couple up locally to send to you if you want to sample before buying

Hard for me to judge strength since I like to be left senseless and drooling after a smoke, but I recall liking these. It didn't bore me

Any of you fellas familiar with the Caldwell Blind Man's Bluff habano?...a good buy at $3 per robusto?

It's a sickness, or an addiction... the first thing to do is admit I have a problem, right?

Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself. 1 tower humidor, 9 box humidors, 1 coolerdor, 1 foot locker (for aging) and I'm shopping for another cooler now to house the stuff that'll be delivered next week... I'll stop when I get this one full... wait, just found a sale on AF Exquisitos Sun Grown, gotta have a box or two of those!!!

C.A.D. (Cigar Aquisition Disorder) is a crushing, debilitating, thoroughly enjoyable disease

I torched my first one this afternoon in the sunshine with the temperature in the 50s. It was definitely an enjoyable experience!

Awesome!
What vitola?

What vitola? If you happen to not love them I'd be down to either trade for some or $

Back in the day...maybe a decade or so ago...I had these in regular rotation in my humi.

Nice medium bodied flavorful smoke from what I remember

+2
don't even remember my last one.

Lots of less boring cigars out there.

Haven't had one in years but used to buy them regularly from my B&M in the city. Good smoke with nice flavor for the price at that time. Not sure how they have changed. in the 8yrs since I've had one. A couple years ago I tried to buy a box from JR. Returned 3 boxes that were littered with mold. Not plume like Customer Service suggested. Haven't bought any since. May have to revisit from a reputable retailer that won't tag me for sales tax at the end of the year.

Subtle protest?

Starting to sound like a strong, well constructed one dimensional cigar.
May have to pass for now...
Thx gents...

I haven't smoked one of these in a very long time. Mostly because I have tons of brands and sold quite a few of these during the brief time my wife and I owned a cigar & pipe store. However, assuming they are still as good as always, I'd say at least try a fiver. Go for a smaller ring; the wrapper on these cigars is a gem, IMHO, and the narrower ring will give you a bigger dose of it.

Back in the day, I recall a time when these seemed pretty full-bodied to me. However, that was around the time an Oliva El Cobre literally made me sick (a couple years later, I could smoke an EC in the a.m. on an empty stomach, so these would probably rate a solid medium to me today, maybe mild side of medium, going from recollection). Not a tremendously complex or high profile smoke, but I just enjoyed the taste and I could light up something else afterwards and not taste the DS all day. Usually a good deal for the $ on this site last I checked.

Dammitall! I need some cross site, retroactive price matching

A damn good deal w/free shipping!



All it takes is 3-4 hours a day to keep up with the pricing, well worth it to save $5, right?

Just received and placed in humidor, of course 1 will meet the torch very shortly.

Will report back on.

Generic + average + OK + not bad = $2 per max price!
