anybody ordered a bundle of these sticks? Where you happy enough with the results. Is the construction as nice as a regular perdomo? Thanks!!!

Perdomo overruns and seconds are better than a lot of cigar makers firsts!

I have ordered them for everyday or yard smokes and they are ok!

They are good,

But you never know what you are getting. Sometimes it is reserve maddies, the next time perdomo2, the next time fresh rolled. You just never know.

But since I like all of the perdomo lines, it doesn't matter to me.

I have to agree with the above. If you like Perdomo's you'll like these too. My only gripe is that they are a bit tight when first recieved (can only speak for my bundles). If you let them rest for a bit at a lower humidity, they are great tasting inexpensive smokes.

I just got bundle of Perdomo Overruns Torpedo and Perdomo 2 Millenario Maduro. Both are good. Great construction and excellent draw. It seems to me that Millenario are a bit stronger. Definitely worth the money.

If you pay attention to the lots, you can almost depend upon what you'll get. If you bid on Perdomo Overruns Figurado Rosados, or Cuban Cafes, you will certainly get Cabinet Reserve La Tradiciones, as that is the only cigar they make with that peculiar set of shape and wrapper, they come in bundles, with no bands, which detracts from the overall presentation, but for the price difference, they can't be beat! I bought a bundle or two of the Lanceros, and they are incredibly tight, but taste great!

Aha... my Perdomo Overruns Torpedo have a slight pinkie color, it is not maduro, slightly lighter that that and not yellow wrapper, closer to rosado... So are you saying that they are La Tradiciones?

There should be about 450 opinions on these Perdomo Overrun Torps in the next few days, after the lowout closes in about 10 minutes.

I won a bundle of Cuban Cafe "rejects" Figurado, smoked one tonight. It split when I took it out (only been in the humi a couple days) but smoked fine and tasted good. Just like the La Tradicion Reservas that I like.

They are consistently difficult to draw in my experience, therefore not worth even the $15, as I won't smoke them.

tornado. I agree I hate a cigar that I cant draw a puff of smoke from. The taste seems O.K. but there like sucking ice-cream through a straw. I have like 50 long skinny ones and 25 fatter ones whatever they are. I even tried to cut in half to get a draw still no go. I thought like Charlie said I could use them as everyday smokes but when I TRY to limit my self to one cigar a day it better be a good one. I will post a pic to see if we can get some more tips. I think Nic Perdomo is training rollers how to roll with these.

**Threadjack on**

I won the auction for the overrun robustos a couple of weeks ago, and was very happy. The draw was kind of tight, but nothing I would really complain about. Constructed nicely. Very pleased.

Just took home a bundle of the torpedos. Will test one out when they arrive in a couple of days.

consider letting them dry out for a while. Improves draw and flavor.

I won a bundle of the Torps and a bundle of the Robustos. The way I figure it, I'll let them sit a few months, make up some bands and donate them to a fund raising golf tournament I'm a part of in June, they can sell them on the course for $5 a smoke (it helps to have a pretty face doing the selling). $220 and everybody is happy. I'll keep 1. Maybe my greens fee is waived?

I won a bundle last night and will receive them on Monday. Will probably some one right away and put the rest in the cooler for a few months. If I don't like 'em, I'm out less then .75 per stick.
