Right now I'm big on the Padron Anniversary and La Aurora 1495.:-"

Just start bidding.

What is it about the 1495 that you don't like tonygraz?

You have anything done to you Cobra 99

Any Marines or Georgia Tech folks on here?

(Actually, I once thought I had found CROS myself up among NY's Finger Lakes... alas, it was just his mailbox.)

Welcome. And ignore 98.2% of the wisdom offered here... we're mostly recycled Druid Luddites.

Everything. Not the worst cigar I have smoked, but very disappointing. No noticable flavor other than tobacco, strong without a reason and there are too many other cigars that I like much better. I may have smoked 3 and gave the other 2 away. Haven;t smoked anything by La Aurora since.

Normally, I'm with you on giving up on a line after a few bad outings...................but.........La Aurora makes some pretty fine cigars imho......and the few 1495 I had were pretty good.

What I discovered on those (Robusto) is it's easy to overheat them, and once you do that a few times, the cigar turns to crap.

Thus, taking lighter puffs, with longer breaks, lets the subtle flavors be realized and enjoyed

ymmv

He warned me that I might hear a lot about him disappearing. I guess he made it in life so he can afford to only buy from shops these days.

Welcome!
