Anyone tried any of this line that can offer feedback? I have a few of the Reconguista's resting right now, but have been looking at some of the other offerings available as well.

I also scored a 5'er of Montecristo Media Noche last night that will ship Tuesday, exited to try those, but will let them rest a bit when they arrive too.

Have a few Reqconquistas I haven't tried myself.
They're not a bad cigar, had decent flavor but we're pretty mild for me. You'll get some differing opinions.

Been a long while since I've had one, but I recall it fondly. But... it was early in my time.

Recently received one from sponsoring a noob trade on another forum, it's on my radar to try, but haven't yet.

I bought a box of Holy Grail but have been letting them rest for a while. Hope they are sleeping nicely. Was interested in any feedback from the BOTL/SOTL here about the line in general.

I had a Reqconquista a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was excellent. I would buy a box. I found it to be medium to full flavored, burned excellent, made loads of smoke, did not go bitter at the end. 🇨🇮

I've smoked quite a few, and gifted quite a few as well.
Always get positive feedback.

With proper rest, they are good.

Ave Maria did not do much for me. Not bad in any way, just to mild and somewhat bland.

Recon? Nice cigar......waaaay over priced imo.
Regular line? Nice cigars (with a few air balls in there)......but also over priced.

They'll never get back into my buy rotation because of their price, and the "one-too-many" air balls factor.

I just reviewed the Divinia on my site last Saturday which is the one AJ Fernandez made for Ave Maria. It was enjoyable, didn't pack as much punch as his normal offerings, it was definitely Finesse over Strength.

Shoot, DC Lover is currently one of the main supporters of my reviews. I literally hadn't had a single one of those before.

Smoked an Immaculata. Nothing special. But then again that is not my type of smoke, so take that with a grain of salt.

got a few Ave Maria Crusaders getting a little age on them before i try.

The first couple I tried, one gifted from Jespear, were fantastic. They had a unique musky flavor. After that, none of them matched that taste. Have smoked several different sizes, but have not tried the top of the line Reconquista.

This has happened several times, where my first few impressions of a cigar were very favorable, but the next few didn't live up to those.
