For those who smoke full flavored cigars, What is your take on the La Herencia Cubana CORE? Looking to try some but the local cigar shop does not carry them, so I will have to have them shipped.

Smoked several of them, but didn't like them enough to buy any more in the last 9 years. Have you tried any Diesels ?

I had a few of them. To me, they are medium plus. For a fuller cigar in the same price range, available on here, I would go with Diesel anything as Tony mentioned, Ave Maria Argentum or Dark Knight, pretty much any ManOWar.

I agree with tony and Lee...those cigars are full flavored. I'll add Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 and Joya de Nicaragua Dark Corojo to the list. Both are flavorful and strong. La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero are both full flavored and strong, but are in a higher price range, as are the Joya de Nicaragua Cuatro Cinco.

I appreciate the feedback. I have pretty much smoked every diesel and enjoy them.I stay in that realm Man O'War, Ava Maria. LFD's Tabernacle. Just looking for another good full bodied smoke that doesn't break the bank. So any suggestions?

Also like CAO Italia, Brazil but not a big fan of the 660

I’ve tried the La Harencia in a few wrappers and I agree that they are probably medium and the flavor is very linear and single note. I think the Oscuro was the best but I haven’t bought any more and I don’t plan to.
I agree with all of the suggestions. LFD and Plasencia are excellent brands and most of their blends have had very much flavor for me. They both do roll a mild blend but you can avoid them.

Crowned Heads rolls a cigar named Belgian Blue. It is full flavored and very good. Aging Room Quattro is pretty good as is the Aging Room Oliveros All Stars. EP Carillo Pledge is med+ with good flavor. Partagas Black is full flavored and very good. Punch Diablo and RyJ Romeo are pretty much touching the full flavor mark too.

I hope some of the suggestions you found here are helpful. Good luck.

Core is a typical budget fuller cigar, not complex in any way. I haven’t had one in years I believe I got a 10 pack and never got any more. Not terrible.

“Not terrible” is the highest rating I’ve seen ZRX give 😂

Give the AJ Fernandez Last Call maduro a shot

Also, Camacho Triple maduro can be had at cbid for approx $20/5er.

Ok I have some of the suggestions lined up for purchase like the Partagas blsck and the crowned heads. Thanks again for the feedback it helps quite a bit.

though many do talk about "full flavored" I usually take that to mean full strength...no?

yes...they are equivalent to me, and that was my intent in responding to OP...


To me, a cigar with a large variety of flavors with multiple transitions to different flavors would be "complex", as opposed to "full".
