Slim, thanks for reminding me how that works. The problem during the boom was that companies were using tobacco that was not aged enough. Not the case here.

Are the El Capitan Maduro's the same blend as the Peg Legs... just a different size? If so, that will solve my problem for wishing the PL's were a little longer when I have that extra time to smoke.

El Capitan maduro. That is what the PL is in the shorter version.

Mr.Mean and Lowman --- the blend is slightly different, but it's pretty close.

The 'el Capitan Reserv Maduro' is Costa Rica Maduro wrapper, Dominican and Nicaraguan filler, and Nicaraguan binder.

The 'Peg Leg' uses a Dominican binder ...

How would you guys compare the Bucanero El Capitan to the Calssic Maduro?

Not even close. X

Kinda partial to the El Capitan maddies, huh X ?
I'v had the Full Sail and the Peg Leg thinking 'bout buying either the Capitan's or Classic's.

Just picked up a couple El Caps in maddie. Probably won't burn it up today. Thanks for wrecking my credit card again, Andy.

Lowman,iffin it's between those,go with the El Caps. X

LLT, if they're anything like the Full Sails, you won't be disappointed. I hear they're better, according to X(got one on the way from 😵. Thanx X...Plus I got a box on the way...WOO-HOO

Ahoy Mates!!
Smoked my 1st Buc El Capitan Maddie over weekend. It was great!! Taste was very smoooth. Only problem was that I had a hard time keeping it burning straight. Had to burn one side of the 'gar several times during smoking to even it off.
Anyone had this problem?? Maybe I just got a bad one. Will have to buy a box and do further reasearch!!

Probably just a little uneven humidity. They'll probaly straighten out after a little time to settle in your humidor.

Congrat's on the Leg's!!! Hmmmmm... Mr. Mean doin' a Happy Dance... That doesn't seem too Mean to me.

Smoke up!!
