i just may have a new favorite cigar. now i just have to find the guy who sent this to me, so i can thank him for introducing it to me!

i'm sitting here smoking a Cibao lonsdale, and it is a pure treat! with an olor binder and piloto filler, it puts out a lot of flavor and creamy, dense smoke. and spicy? oh, mama... not overbearing, but the pepper is there most definitely, and it blends well with the rich, indulgent flavors of this little gem. it's wrapped in a gorgeous connecticut shade wrapper -- and this is one of the heartiest CTSH-wrapped cigar i've ever seen!

the construction in this baby is perfect. the burn is absolutely even, and it's taking its own sweet time to disappear on me. i can't believe how long it's taking to smoke this down, too. it's been about 45 minutes, and i can just now see the Nubsville city limits sign. it's all i can do to keep from hot boxing it. it started out medium, but i could feel the strength starting to kick up in my belly a bit, so i had to back off a bit and take it easy.

this is a gorgeous cigar, with a beautiful, classy, white ash that seems to want to hold on for dear life. it's just one impeccable smoke, all around!

this was the first time i'd tried one of these, and i left only a hint of a nub to smolder down in the ashtray.

that was one GOOD cigar!

I had one of these Cibao cigars in a sampler from the place in Tampa (before I knew any better)and have been trying to find a box for the humi ever since, I really enjoyed the ones I had. Saw them on Cbid twice, and been outbid twice -Doh!!

yep! i do believe it was you, jack. thank you!! 😃

i've been going around today with this cigar stuck in the back of my mind along with the refrain that's the sure sign of having found a favorite: "gotta find more... gotta find more... gotta find more..." LOL

well, archmark, looks like we're going to both be gunning for them when (if? *weep*) they come back up again. LOL let's combine our forces and split up the spoils! DIVIDE AND CONQUER! muahahahaha! 😉

miiiiiiister conrad, once more thank you VERY much. i'm discovering some tasty tasty smokes that aren't cost prohibitive. woo hoo!

I won a box on CBID last August. Leave them age and they get even better.

CI has a few boxes for sale at the lowest box prices I could find, would love to try the Pequeno Perfecto, but Robusto's might be good to, 'bout $45 a box and shipping? I you are interested in a box split LMK (mark dot grexton at LBDG dot com) if not,,,,,

MAY THE HIGHEST BIDDER WIN...

Then again I am half broke, so....
