Mild, delicious flavor, high strength / head spinner (about like four of my usual Padron 2000s). Perfect construction and draw. Slow draw = butter and spice, fast draw = dry oak and slight toast. Suffers from INCOMPLETE FERMENTATION, tastes grassy (in other words, as of right now - 2015, these will ruin your taste buds for at least 24 hours). My advice to buyers: buy them while they're cheap, take them out of the cellophane, leave the box open, and put them in the humidor for four or five years. Don't misunderstand, these will be among the very finest mild cigars ever produced, you'll just have to wait until about 2019. My advice to Matt Booth (with all due respect, noting the stunning Mutante Lancero): if you want to avoid being compared to Rolando (Rubber-tire) Reyes, take them off the market and reintroduce them when they're ready.

I did a little experimenting, and it's the fill. The wrap has a nice dry flavor, and the binder is absolutely fantastic. The fill has a really nice spice, but it wasn't ready.

I've had a few of them in the corona size. Good mellow smoke...not sure if they'll age much at the rate my son, SIL and I are going through them....

CI has them on sale for $2.50 a piece by the box

The ones I've smoked were a spice bomb.

And to think Rolando had such nice things to say about you.

Oh, he also asked if you could please return the garden trowel you borrowed from him last year.

it is a good smoke. If you can't score it here for around $3per it is on Close Out at C.I. and Cigar.com.

Didn't Rolando pass away last year?

My apologies, I didn't realize that Reyes had passed. Still, I'd rather light up a cigar that was mild and flavorless than a cigar that would have been fantastic if it had been fermented properly. The grassy, rubbery, hot-pepper flavor is a sign of poor craftsmanship.

"Got one out a few days ago, still not ready, but better. I think they'll be ready in about a year... maybe 18 months.

I'm frankly shocked that Matt Booth didn't catch this sage advice on a discount cigar forum and do something about it.

Actually I'm mildly

OUTRAGED.

I love Connies and I was disappointed in this one.

He is still working though. They roll his mummified body down the hallways of the Puros Indios factory late at night so he can continue to check on things as always to assure that the quality of production is the highest.

As a vindication of my first post on this topic, you can see the picture of the foot in the review at acigarsmoker dot com. There is actually GREEN tobacco in the middle! The problem was incomplete fermentation. They were horrid with ammonia. However, they're ready now. I waited 15 months. I put them in a tupperdor by themselves and aired them once every few weeks. Now they're toast / spice. The oak and butter seem to be gone, and the spice is more clear, shifting to a magnolia blossom scent. Are they as good as I thought they'd be? Well, since I'm a Padron fan, I miss the butter, but they're still first class mild cigars.

So the cigars that were worth $1 each needed to be babysat for 15 months so that they could become a smokeable mild cigar? Think I'll pass...
