The Genesis Habano is a really great cigar. Didn't have many transitions, but that means it's a consistent smoke. Burns very well, perfect draw, beautiful and tasty.

The whole line for me has followed this pattern:

-Original release AMAZING, bought a bunch.

-After that, they went downhill, not horrible, indeed still good, but not great anymore. Stopped targeting them for purchase.

-Recent singles included in samplers....pretty darn good again! Are they OR's that have been sitting around in the warehouse that they tossed into samplers or have the recent issues gotten better?

Even the 5er's from Cbid could be old stock they are clearing out, so the only way to tell for sure is for someone to buy several full boxes and start sending them to everyone in the thread for our reviews and comments 😇

Haven’t won any.......only tried once.

I’m pretty picky these days as far as buying here.........it’s been Melanios and Sobremesas mainly, with an odd fiver here and there.

It's OK. You can make a nice dip with cheddar and some chopped jalapeños instead

$2.50 a stick? No way! That Bueso stuff is typically available as part of CI's twice-yearly (December and June) "10-pack plus $20 Bucks card" deals for $1.00-1.50 each net price.

If you like Bueso stuff, stock up twice yearly on that sale and abstain the rest of the year to save lots of money.

Ramon Bueso (the human) was "allegedly" a total wild man when he was 20-25 yrs old(clandestinely speaking, never garnering unwanted attention) back in the day...1981 -86...he used his tobacco knowledge, contacts , limited family wealth and influence and Honduran political influence throughout nearby Central AMERICAN neighboring countries...

He knew many "connected" people's...while helping several causes...

And that's all I'm gonna speculate about that...

His cigars are excellent...

I never had a really bad one...

Maybe 5-10 subpar?ones...

I have purchased well over 400-500?? or more ...of many vitolas...

I like Genesis the project the best
