Recently I obtained a a bundle of cigars packed in a glass jar with a flip-top seal. They were corona sized (called Crystal) and made by Villar y Villar. Natural wrapper.

I just want to say that I wish they were available here. (Hey C-Bid, is this possible?) I have smoked a few different sizes of these and they are an excellent Nicaraguan cigar. Especially for the money. Medium bodied with a rich, espresso-like flavor that has a slight sweetness. My favorite flavor profile.

I really, really like them.

Anybody else?

This reminds me of La Finca the maduro side of the one you liked. It was not bad. I said this to my local friends and one (Redsquid) quickly said "La Stinka". Never tried the natural.

N.A.T.S.A. makes a lot of fine, affordable cigars. Villar y Villar is not my favorite, but they make La Finca, Jose Marti, Mayorga & Aristoff, among others. If you haven't tried an Aristoff Black, you should, if you are a maduro lover.

To be honest, I've never had one. I was just passing along comments I'd heard many time before. I've also heard that recent incarnations of Finks, and Viler and vilers are much better than they used to be. I second the Aristoff Black opinion. Hey John, where's Kazama? October herf!
