Well, I took a shot at a bundle of Consuegra Casa Grande #18's. The first one is good. This pic is when I first lit it, but I'm actually half way done with it.

It started off good tasting, and burns well with a nice draw. Its a slow burner, smooth & the aroma is nice, its a full bodied smoke. I like it. With humi time, I think it could be a real winner!

Also, this could be a HDM, Punch, Belinda. Its a second from one of these brands. You dont know which, or if its a combination of these brands.

It will be interesting to see the consistancy from one cigar to another.

Now, these are seconds, but the ones I inspected were normal looking to me. If there are imperfections, they must be VERY minor.

I paid $25 for a 25 count bundle. I'm still smiling.... :>)

Had two Consuegra robusto's gifted to me by a local tobacconist that I frequent. Nice guy, gives me free tasters now and again. Good little smoke. Reminds me of the Super Premium Seconds from CI. Seems to be the same smoke, same factory I believe, just a higher grade of second. Higher grade of second? Wouldnt that make the SP Second a third?? Anyway...Good cigar, gotta get me some.

Ok, what the hell...

It tells me I have used an invalid password and can't post the message. I re-type my password and submit again...DOUBLE POST!

So I guess my invalid password became valid after I re-typed my valid password that provided validity to the invalid password which obviously was valid to begin with.

Anybody under that tarp?

Ain't computers grand........!
