I've been slim-slapped!

What's interesting here is that these are described as "mild-medium", slim doesn't normally smoke mild or even medium cigars and neither do I, so these must have made one heck of an impression on him to send me an entire box.

Thank you my friend.

Now, I think I'm going to go change my lunch plans to include one of these cigars...1536844.jpg

That's not a "slap", that's more like a beating.

Nice.

Mr. Gerbil,

I certainly hope that you enjoy these as much as I do. From an unabashed Bucanero fan, these are my favorites.

Please post here your thoughts. If they are negative, give Beat Dragon a call. 🙂

The Peg Leg lunch cigar was quite good.

Thanks again Slim.

That size are those? They look short, stubby and tasty.

It's officially listed as a 5" x 54 petite belicoso although these have deveeloped a very slight rectangular box press from the packing and more like 48 ring now.

Coop's email to me went like this ...

"Smoked one of the Peg Leg's at lunch. Damn, that was good, and yes, it seems more like a medium-full to me too. (My original commentary was based on what was written on the tag inside the box)." I do not have the slightest idea why Robert labeled them 'mild to medium'.

Hey ... does that now make you a 'fanboy' ???

Just 'yanking your chain' Coop ... I knew I could change your mind about Bucanero Cigars with the el Capitan 'Peg Leg' Maduro. That, and the El Capitan Toro Maduro are my favorites ... followed by the 'Salsa Criollo', 'Bucanero Z', 'Full Sail', and 'Clasico Maduro' ... not necessarily in that order.

Nice shot ... BTW.

CigarCyclopedia.com has this to say about the Bucanero Cigars:

July 4, 2007

Bucanero Crew

Rating: B+ Very Good

Bucanero Clasico Maduro

Rating: B+ Very Good

Bucanero El Capitan Maduro

Rating: A Excellent

Bucanero Full Sail Maduro

Rating: A Excellent

Bucanero Z

Rating: A Excellent

Bucanero Windjammer

Rating: B+ Very Good

Bundelo - Cameroon

Rating: A Excellent

Bucanero Salsa "Criollo"

Rating: A Excellent

The Bucanero line exhibits a welcome discipline in construction and a subtlety in taste in many of the lines that is quite remarkable, especially with so many with maduro wrappers of so many different origins!

It’s a line worth exploring, not only of the nine blends we described above, but of the four others we didn’t cover!

"I knew I could change your mind about Bucanero Cigars with the el Capitan 'Peg Leg' Maduro"

And change my mind from "undecided" to "yup, these are good" you did sir.
