I've written a couple here on this site but to be quite honest it was YEARS ago! Most of the time I just pipe in some notes under other threads of others.

The ones that I can remember off the top of my head...Full Sail and The Bucanero Z...I know that one is under the Cigar Pics forum...happy hunting!

Pic topped!

Imwas looking to try some of these and did a google search and this came up all I can say is holy blank 40,000 posts! Great review btw. ::tu

I recently tried one of these. It smoked great, and flavor was ok, but I'd be interested in seeing how they are after a few months.

hate to admit it, since Vibb likes em so much, but i enjoy this smoke also in robusto

I have one that was gifted to me about 3 weeks ago, might be time to burn it and see how it rates.

I have a fiver resting in the humi right now. They look well made. Nice even wrapper, consistent color from cigar to cigar. Slightly oily feel on the fingertips. Was going to wait a few more weeks before sacrificing one for science.

I have received a couple in a trade as well, makes me curious... and I agree it might be time to try it.

Seems like a good stick based on DMVs review....my kind of cigar. Im currently bidding on a box of toros meself....hope it goes well with Bulliet bourbon.

also, according to Trademarkia these bad boys are owned and marketed under Cigars International exclusively......interesting.

^Some of CI Exclusives are decent smokes. Just because most of their owned labels are crap, does not mean they all are.

Yessir, that along with MANY others. You'll learn as you go along.

I've heard they are not bad, but not anything special. My palate is off right now, so I'm not trying the torpedo I have. I've tried the Black Crown Ale when it first came out and it too is not bad, but nothing special (6% alcohol).

Lit my first after about a month in the humi, I found the construction to be flawed as it began to explode and tear down the side. After the first third it cleared up. Could have been the transition into 100% humidity outside.

I found the strength to be light to medium. Ceder and light spices appear from the start and the palette is coated with a light oily slick. Picked up a light earthy sweetness that does remind me of a port as mentioned by DMV.

The second third begins to mellow out with a minor split in the wrapper. Lightly sweet tobacco flavor takes over with a hint of the spice at the back of the throat. Strength climbing to about a medium at the halfway point.

The last third seems to remain medium in strength with a very light hint of what appears to be raisin on the retrohale. All other aspects remain the same as in the second third.

Over all it was an enjoyable cigar, I would rate it at 2.5 out of 5. Some complexity is there in the first half but it lays down after half time. I would not consider it box worthy but will definitely trade and partner of mine for a few more after they age a little longer.

Pulled one of these that was sitting in the humidor for a few months. Good mild to medium stick with some wood flavors that left a slight oil slick in the mouth. As I got near the band the cigar got kind of spongy and had a bit of an ammonia taste but I got an enjoyable hour plus out of a churchill size.
