Not bad. I won a box of BOTH the Toro and Lancero/Churchill. Don't recall which year is which. Both were good smokes after a few months of naked aging.

I hate those rothschilds so much... And I really, really like Illusione...

I think kotc may have been subtly pointing out that the prices you got weren't exactly deals... In the case of the fritas, more of an overbid...

The Ichiban maduro is better than the Drew Estate bundles IMHO. The Ichiban maduro has complexity and has a transition going from the 2nd to the 3rd. Dominant notes are Chocalate, nuts and a lil spice and an earhy core. On the retro this stick opens up with sweetness and the chocolate becomes somewhat creamy in both taste and texture.

Sorry for the late response. I forgot about this request.

.....that sounds great. Thank you. As long as there is some body to them and not a **** load of generic spice flavor like all Rocky Patel maduro cheapos have I'll give them a try.
