a Maria Mancini?

I was gifted one at the last herf, from Merlin, and just smoked it tonight. It was a maduro, robusto size I was told (but it was a 6x50), lightly box pressed, well constructed, except the cap was a little rough, lightly veined chocolate brown wrapper, medium strength, chalky grey ash and plenty of smoke. I was pleasantly surprised by this economicly priced (based on some internet surfing) smoke. The medium flavor profile was nutty and spicey and developed well as it burned into a flavorful smoke.

I was told these are rolled at the Mayorga factory. Has anyone else tried these?

A good value stick. I hear Jack Lemmon was quite fond of them. Try the naturals with the H2000. Also a nice cigar for the money.

I had a couple of the Magic Mountains a while back and thought they were pretty good. But then again I didn't rush out and buy more either.

I guess I should go ahead and drop the $35 for a box of the Magic Mountains. This was a descent smoke for the offering. Could become a daily for the price. Thanks for the input guys.
