I had some maybe 4 years ago that I thought were great. Some I purchased more recently I didn't care for. Traded 'em away.

I like the Corto, 41/2x52(?) figurado, they burn, draw nice, sweet flavor, not gut wrenchingly strong. Get them before they are gone for good.

You can still find them here on C-bid and CI, among others. But they stopped production last year. Or maybe even in 2003

Really liked the Cupido cigars, but they have quit production and another good cigar will be no more!

The corto was one of the first great smokes I have ever had. I smoked my first one on the way to San Fransisco in the car. It was morning, the sun was out, Jim Rome was holding his annual smackoff, and the little guy lasted from just outside Marysville all the way to Dixon for a beer stop before making my run into the city. Good memories....

I've liked every Cupido that I've tried. Criollo, Toro Negro and Vintage, good smokes all. The knuckles were cool. They were .50 ring gauge by about 2 1/2" long.

One of the best values around. They are a bit sweet, but that again makes for a good morning smoke and an inexpensive, mild stick to pass out to your mooching, poker buddies.

Get the Doble.

Let's just say the won't have you hallucinating about flowers,puppies,kittens and rainbows. They ain't no Nestors! Plus they are estrogen free!!!

I hate doing this at the risk of boosting bids but I think these are some tasty smokes.

Bumbed to hear that they are out of production. Guess I'll have to ration what I have and look to stock up.

Personally, I Love 'em. Most of the cigar guys I know either love em or hate them, though. Not much inbetween room with this gar I've noticed.

Whil my first review seemed favorable...I'll add this...The first couple of Cupido's that I had were out of this world. I gave a couple away recieved a couple in trade and saved those I had for awhile (since I knew they were out of production.) A few months ago I decided to light one up. It was plagued by construction problems and a really bad taste. I figured it was a fluke. A couple of days later I tried another...again horrible. After posting today, I grabbed my last one and lit it up. I stayed with it for about fifteen minutes before I finally ditched it. The flavor was o.k., but again the construction was terrible. So I would say this: if you get a good one you're lucky because they are fantastic. I might buy a five pack to try them again...but I would never pull the trigger on a box.

All the Cupidos I've smoked were boxed prior to 2000.

There very well could have been changes to the cigar's production after that.. buyers beware I guess..
