KILLER!!! I paid almost $50 for a box at an auction here a month or so ago that I passed out at work (during layoff's)... and everyone loved them. No kidding ... it's a great little cigar (but I'm partial to 'true' Cameroon wrappers) ...

Pick one up while you can (they are no longer being made) ... you won't be disappointed, that is, if you like a little 'kick-butt' cigar ...

The price is unreal ... use to sell for $90 to $120 a box.

I had a different experience. Didn't care for these at all. Sour taste, some burned badly. They don't really taste Cameroon-ish to me. At this price, give 'em a try, maybe you'll agree with slim.

Totally subjective ... that's what I love about cigars, and the people who smoke them. Everyone's tastes are different ... and you have to find out for yourself.

One man's treasure ... is another man's trash ... 😉

... and I'll say it again. Get these while you can, as they are no longer made. If for nothing else than just to put them away for awhile. One or two doesn't give a cigar true justice. I didn't like them at first either ... but they grow on you. Smoke a few ... let a few age ... they are nice little cigars.

Like I said ... everyone I gave one to ... liked it.

I don't need any more bundled cigars damnit! I pulled the trigger a one anyway though. :0)

JJ ... the last one I got, came in a box (cardboard). I know these say bundled ... did they come bundled?

I recently tried a five pack and found them to be a good little 30 minute smoke. They are a bit earthy and can burn hot, but generates huge smoke. Like the De Los Reyes, you can't beat the price.

These are bundled because the factory was out of packaging. A few months ago they said they had 15 or 20,000 cigars already made but no boxes. Same cigar in a bundle instead of a box.

Hey Slim, I agree with your "Trash/Treasure" idea. Hell, I think the Diesel is a great cigar! But as far as Cameroons go, have you tried the Revolucion? I really like this cigar. If it weren't box-pressed, it would be a near-perfect smoke for me. I tried 7 or 8 of the ITDCs they just never did it for me. Not a bad cigar, certainly worth a try for anyone at the close-out price.

Hi its Rocky at Inidan Tabac, I can gurantee that the wrapper is true african cameroon grown on the farms owned by Portillo and Agusto Reyesin West Africa. These were the same cigars sold in boxes at 120 dollars before we ran out of packaging and decided to sell them in bundles to cigar bid.

Rocky's da Man!

I got mine last Friday, sat on the porch untill Saturday (I was at Lake Tahoe), and smoked one right out of the bundle.

It was perfect. Burned fine, smoked cool ... wasn't a bit dry. I love these little suckers ... probably my most favorite in the line.

I agree with drdetroit; i got a 5 pack several months ago, and only tried one over the weekend --- great little cigar --- reminded me of some cuban's i tried once before due to the blocked roll.

Got my bundle on July 1st. Shared some with friends at a town fireworks display. Seemed a bit travel weary. I remained anxious (since I like most of the ITs I've tried) and smoked another at my folks house on Sunday while playing bocce with my dad. Loved it! I lost the game, but enjoyed the smoke to the nub. One of the best deals I've purchased at CB. Only wish I had the intestinal fortitude to bid on more when I had the chance...

I got my bundle and they're great!! A fine smoke with an easy draw and great semi complex flavor. Gonz, is it possible to get anymore of these, I noticed that there was a hundred or so not auctioned off. [email protected]
