I was at the local tobacco store and saw they had three of the four offerings (Skull Breaker, Tramp Stamp, and Bone Crusher), so I bought one of each. The Skull Breaker, I thought, was extremely good...although maybe I smoked it on too empty of a stomach. I've also since smoked the Tramp Stamp and was very unimpressed with it; there were few flavors to note and it drew pretty bad.

What have people's experiences been with these? Which of the line do you all find smokes the best?

Most ppl like tramp stamp. I don't at all.

Bone crusher is a great cigar. One of my top 10 last year. Skull breaker also very good. Some say same blend just dif vitola. I disagree.

Crystal Baller is a little more mild then the other 2. It's my third favorite and I like it very much as well.

Stupid azz names but good cigars.

Well I had a Tramp Stamp earlier, halfway through I was wondering what I should ask to trade for the rest of the box. Not my cup of tea.

Love the Tramp Stamp. The Crystal Baller is a great mild smoke. Haven't had the other two yet..I got lazy with them. I'll make my way to em eventually.

I don't dislike the tramp stamp but I do enjoy the Skull breaker more. I haven't ahd the opportunity yet to try the last 2. Mainly because I thought bonecrusher was same blend just different size so didn't go out of my way to get some, the crystal baller just doesn't interest me cause I am into stronger or maddie smokes at the moment.

I did read the new one this year is called animal cracker I believe, should be interesting to see what that exactly is going to be.

I really enjoyed the crystal baller. I tried one of the stronger ones but don't remember much about it. I have the other strong one to try. No tramp stamp yet.

I've had all 4 and equally love all 4! Depending on your taste profile, if you like strong (Fausto) cigars

Skull breaker and Bone crusher are for you

If you like CG size with that Pepin spice (blue / black) label the tramp stamp is for you

Crystal Baller is a unique box press sun grown wrapper that had a med/full body with allot if flavor over strength.

Again, I keep all 4 stocked. I love them all

I've got to ask from a few of you as to why you like the Tramp Stamp? The one I had tasted like very dry cocoa and not much else, drew very poorly, and canoed pretty badly as well.

It was actually modeled after Tat Black.. Pete didn't copy it exactly but there are noticeable similarities. You might need to try a couple more. Sit on em for a couple months or something and see what you think then (I smoke them straight out of the box and love them but a little rest makes them shine).

I wouldn't draw a conclusion based on a single sample that performed poorly, especially when you have those sorts of issues with a cigar from a cigar maker that is known for superior construction. Sounds allot like an over humidified cigar, most B&M's don't do that good a job of letting new shipments rest and acclimate either.

All that being said, it may just not be your cup of tea.

Good points all around. I should probably smoke a few more to form an opinion. Maybe I'm just biased against it because the Skull was so good without any rest and I smoked them pretty closely together.
