Kaz, your bender and sniping is a deterrent from the brotherhood that we share. Drop it for the sake of others that use this board. I rounded up a few comments that anyone can find from BOTL's that raved about Bucanero and it's comparison to the Padron Anniversario Natural, granted it's no Padron 3000 or 5000, but the similarities of those can be found with the Classico and the Catalinas. The BOTL was looking for suggestions, not an arguement.
If my tastebuds are so wrong, then I'm proud to be in the company of these BOTL's that think the same as I do about a Bucanero product.

Maybe it's just me ...
... but I find them to be very similar to a PAN ...

Sorry to hear you didn't like, or your expectations were low on the Buc Z. I myself like them and yes they are a great morning smoke or a nice smooth evening smoke. Mine has changed characteristics as I smoked them, but to each his/her own. The Z is said to be comparable to the CAO Black, and I beleive that is a good comparison. If anyone is disappointed in their Z's, send them my way, heheheeeee.

I wish I was still smoking it. 😉
At around 8:30 PM I figured it was time to burn my first 'Z'.
Looked flawless, firm, prelight draw was smooth as a baby's ass.
The burn was even as can be, the ash at one point got too damn long and would not fall off. 😉
The flavors got more powerfull as the cigar burned down to the nub, needless to say I have a blister on my finger. Med/Full strength, Full bodied to say the least.
'If your a PAN lover.......this would be it's brother.'
4.6 out of 5
That's all I have time for.......grab a box or 2 if you get the chance. You won't be sorry.
My ride home smoke is gonna be a 'Crew', and tonight a 'Salsa'.

The local smoke shop has the z and salsas for $7 a piece. Is that a decent price?

I don't know about that one. Fuente? Anjeo? WOAM? Short Story? FFOX?
Now, back to the original thread...PAM anyday. That is if you want to smoke a cigar with flavor. DC's are bland, construction is always flawless, but it's not my cup of tea. The Maximus line...only had 3 of them. I liked them, but it's still no PAM. If you're looking for a cheaper "replacement", then you need a Bucanero Z...but that more of a PAN then a PAM.
Opinions are like a$$holes...everyone's got one!

You would seriously compare a Buc to a PAM or PAN? That's crazy (in my demented mind)! The closest thing I can find is a Perdomo Estate Seleccion Maduro.

i.am.steve --- yes, I would also compare a Buc 'Z' to a PAN, without hesitation.
I know for a fact, that Robert respects and admires greatly the 'blends and rollers' of Padron ... and has strived and continues to model many of his new lines after the finer Padron cigars.
