Has anyone tried the other maduro lines of Bucanero's? I've only smoke the Full Sail (thank you again, DrMaddVibe) and found it to be a wonderful smoke. Just wanted to know how the other maduro lines compare to the Full Sail before I place an order.
Thanks
Ed

The "Texas Star" is milder. My first "Full Sail" kicked me between the eyes. Next up to try is a Peg Leg. Oh, and an El Capitan too.

have tried all the Bucanero line and here is my order of pref:
Full Sail
Peg Leg
El Captitan Maduro
El Captitan Natural
Windjammer Rubosto Natural

what Coach said ...

FYI
For those of you that don't receive CA magazine or for those of you that won't admit it -- here is their rating of Bucanero Full Sails in the latest issue;

Rating 86 A pressed maduro with a gorgeous, silky wrapper. It burns well, with a great, white ash. The flavor is charry, tart and acidic, and lacks depth.

oh, yeah .. right ... would this be the same CA that currently rates Lone Wolf an 88 and describes it as "A medium bodied cigar with a strong spicy character. There are hints of pepper, and a note of dried citrus on the palate. A bit of dryness overall, but a solid well-balanced cigar" ... THAT CA??

All I can say, is that I've smoked the Bucanero and it's a damn fine cigar ... I've also smoked a Lone Wolf and found it to be tasteless and vapid ... what would make me think CA was doing any more than shameless shilling with reviews so divergent from reality ??

SteveS, if you notice the cigars rated the highest in CA they all advertise there. Full sails due to arrive today!

I know ... they really ARE shills and without apparent shame ... anyone who knows anything is aware of it too ... I note with some interest that an old-line cigar store here in SF has quit displaying the CA ratings ... when I asked, they said people found them to be irrelevant ... guess that sums it up nicely, eh?

Lacks depth? LACKS DEPTH!?!?!?!

They got to be kidding. The Full Sail, El Capitan, and the Peg Leg all have complexities far beyond MOST domestic smokes out their today.

I agree their ratings are not relevant. However, I do like the magazine for their cigar related articles.

Thanks to all for your input...I'll stay with the Full sails for now, maybe try the Peg's next time.

CA will rate whoever pays them well. I like the mag but I use the last dozen pages to get my fireplace started.

had a peg leg maduro at my local guy last night, a robusto length torp. it was fully deeeeeeee-lish!

wouldestous, you are now headed down a road of no return, ain't it great?

Barry

Had a complimentary full sail maduro at a tobacconist in Charlotte,NC and it was great,but one had better be prepared to enjoy a FULL flavored cigar. I am now a loyal fan.

bmw- yes, its indeed great. what a cigar!

cooksta- thats where i got the peg leg, probably saw you there. i was one of the bearded guys. looks like we got a herf on dec 7th. will do a formal post when we got details worked out. wooo-haaaa!

I highly recommend the Maduro Torps.

I was in my local shop today and asked if she had ever thought of carrying the Bucanero line. She went behind the counter and pulled out a box full of samplers and gave me a humi pouch with a Texas Star and a Full Sail. She said that "guy" calls me almost every day! I told her to stop the calls all she had to do is carry the Full Sail and the Peg Leg, LOL.

Barry

Hey Barry,Does that Texas Star look like the Full Sail? X
