To my tastes, the Sumatra Sinatras are excellent, my favorite everyday cigar by far. I bought some 15 bundles at CI to hold on to since they were selling out. The draw is excellent, the taste is unique and a bit spicy. They are aged some 4 years or more, which makes a big difference. My stash is all Churchills. Are these still readily available anywhere?

Tony, those are the "My Way" with Connecticut wrapper. I'm glad you like 'em.

like them VERY much, jazzman. thank you! just left a message for you on the trades forum, btw.

i was really impressed with the 2 i've had of these so far. when i started smoking cigars, about 7 mos. ago (in fits and starts; regularly for just over a month now i guess), my favorites were CTSH wrapper cigars -- mild but with a goodly amount of spice.

problem with them now is that some CTSH wrappers sometimes have a bitter or metallic kind of taste to them. they also can be delicate and brittle; some seem to fall apart when they get the least bit dry (as in stored under 70%).

the sinatras are doing great, though, and the wrappers have a hardier feel/appearance to them -- and no bitter taste! these burn well and even, and i love the taste. they aren't extremely spicy, but there's enough there to keep my attention, definitely.

thanks again for trading me some!

Sinatra "My Way"'s are one of the very best milder cigars! I like cigars that kick my ass, but for a mild cigar My Way is the way to go!
