Seems to trendy a cigar for me. Being that it's made by Felipe Gregorio, I would GUESS that it's probably the same cigar as the Poderozo, but with a stupid name. (BTW, the Poderozo kicks ass for an every day smoke)

that would be "too trendy a cigar" NOT "to"

Felipe?...I thought it was made by Rocky Ppatel and Augusto Reyes?...I tried the Poderonzo...OK smoke...Somewhat mild for my taste...Maybe with a little age, it may improve

My mistake rookie 🙂 That's what happens when your head is up your ass 😉

Still, too gimmicky for me to bite on this one. Let us know when you've tried them. (I'm still not smoking it though, then again, you may like it Keith, might taste just like a Don Turdo 😉

Cmon now, I thought we were about love and happiness here. I have a tendancy to shy away from Gregorio products. Though I did like the Poderozo Heg sent me as a good change of pace smoke.

"Love and Happiness" was a great song by Al Green! Have not smoked any of the cigars mentioned in this thread, and for some reason have no desire to try any of them! Charlie

I bought a 5-pack to try. They should be here next week. I'll post my thoughts on them. I thought "love , peace and happiness" was the Chambers Bros.

Thanks Glenn....I should have my two bundles (or boxes...whatever they come in) here by then also...I've heard they're pretty tasty, almost yummy...but then again, they're no Santa Damiana or Por Larranga...THAT's for sure 😉

I haven't actually tried them. But my opinion is that they are CRAP. I work in the diesel industry and I'm crude. It's highly overated. LOL

Hey Keith, I thought you gave up "YUMMY" for the New Year?

Heg, you don't want to mess with me. I say something bad about you, you say something bad about me. What you said will hurt my feelings, and I will cry right on you. Just you wait and see.

Ok I smoked my first one. I'll try another tonight to see if my opinions the same. It burned nice and even it had a different taste that I tried to figure out the 1st 1/3 of the smoke the 2nd 3rd I really started to enjoy it. Then I don't know what happen usually when I enjoy a good smoke I nub it but this turn nasty the last 3rd and I pitched it. As I said I'll try another tonight. I think for a buck they're ok even if you only smoke half IMHO. Glenn

That sounds consistant with past attempts with Felipe Gregorio products I have tried. As you say, may still be worth the first two thirds. Update tomorrow then?

Sometimes when I try a cigar a 2nd time I wonder why I loved/hated the first time. I stand by my first opinion. This smoke just has an odd taste. Like I said previously the first half to 2/3 were ok then Oh god.
