I haven't been on much lately because of computer problems, but thanks to Slim, IM BAAACK!...I have fifteen La Rosa Especial Naturals (robustos) that I would like to trade for Maduros...Or if no one has any La Rosa Especiales Maduros, then something of quality in maduros...These cigars are great, but I prefer the maduros personally...Would love to get some Occidental havana Sungrown Reserves or a few El Originals (wanted to try one!)... Email me at [email protected] if interested...Thanks!...Keith

WT hell???!!....I swear I had the thingie on "Trades"....LOL

Are these brown-bands or blue-bands?

Oooo, mis-post! What a "rookie" thing to do! Glad you're back up, KC! Slim's the man!

Maybe I see the problem -- don't put your thingie on ANYTHING. You just put that thingie back where it belongs.

Rookie139 correct me if I read your post wrong but from what I read you want to trade your "Thingy". JonR

Ha! Your best bet, Rookie, is to put it in a petite box pass.

I smoked one of those Occidental sun growns last night. Very nice. initial light draw, gobs of smoke, hints of leather and spice. Burned down to nothingness. I wonder how much they cost.

They are the blue bands (natural)...The brown bands are the maduro...Still no takers
Ed: the Occidentals are about $3.50-$4.00 a stick
I've had two of them so far and I am very impressed!...They are just incred...uh...um...incredibly the worst cigar I have ever had (as bad if not worse than those horrible Santa Rosas..they make a dog rocket look tasty...Ugh..Don't bid or buy them!)

IMO they worse than Tamboril !! I only had a 5pack and smoked only 2,because you think the 2nd is better,however no improvment so i gave them away to my Trashcollectors.Maybe you should to the same because this guy's smell a lot of stink during the day!

Oh maybe I mixed it up if there is something like Santa Rosa than thats it.And if so sorry Rookie!

The only good Santa Rosas are the torpedos...The ones in cello sucks

I think you have La Rosa Especiales mixed up with something else...These are good but just not to my tastes (stronger, fuller bodied smokes)

Rookie, the Santa Rosa maduro Robustos are not bad cigars!!!! A little on the mild side, but very smokable! Charlie

Yeah but the torpedos are so damn tastier..They must have a different blend than the cetros or other sixes...I love that jet black wrapper.
