Any one tried a Warlock cigar? Went to local cigar bar with my son who was in town on business. Seems bar had local regs on smoking so to comply they installed a 12-14 x 8 ft shelf humi. Favorite bartender said owner made a deal with altadis.

Regardless, has anyone smoked a Warlock?

GB: Haven't tried it but according the the review/advertisement elsewhwere, it is supposed to be a real buttkicker. Here it is in edited format (and it was more an advertisement than a review):

Warlock is a very full bodied cigar created by legendary

cigar maker Omar Ortez in Nicaragua. You can taste the magic

in each puff of these big, bold smokes. The combination of

flavorful Dominican and Nicaraguan aged long filler tobaccos,

a spicy Nicaraguan binder, and a hand selected, robust

Ecuador Cubano wrapper results in a powerful, intoxicating

smoking experience that will captivate all your senses.

Folks, I’m gonna be 100% honest with you. Yesterday

... I was playing golf at the Montecristo Charity Pro-Am and one of

the cigars being handed out was Warlock.

Up until yesterday I swear I never heard of this brand

in my life, even though my buddy Omar makes these cigars.

Let me tell you something ... if you like powerful cigars, well,

this is it. I was really playing well until I smoked about a

third of the Warlock Robusto that was in my golf cart, and

it all went downhill after that. Truthfully, I had to sit out an

entire hole while I recovered from the buzz offa that one

cigar. It’s a killer smoke that should have a warning pasted

on every cigar.

I have tried one. It was pretty good picked it up at a gas station that has a humidor with a pretty good selection! Anyway, I don't know if it was all that powerful but I tend to like the more full-bodied smokes. But it was a pretty good smoke and I will probably revisit sometime.

Very nice review, Hombre. Felt bad for you when I read this though:

"Smoking Location: Cannibal Lounge Tiki Bar

Beverage: None"

(j/k)

Has the robusto and found it to be a decent smoke. Didn't pick-up on the pine mentioned in hombre's review, but a semi-sweet nuttiness. Would agree with hombre's high 80's rating. Spiciness and flavor profile was medium to full-flavored, fairly flat but consistent throughout. Glad I tried it but won't be seeking out a box in the future.

That's good enough for me. I don't need much prompting to get to the bar and have a cigar in this weather we're having. I'll try one today. Cheers

OK, I had two pints and a Warlock robbi. Definitely a full bodied smoke. No pine hints, but earthy and leather.

I thought it was a good smoke and would buy more if CBid put them up. They would definitely improve with age,

This is a new stick by Altadis. Before that scares you away, note that it was blended by Omar Ortez, and he did a fine job.

It has a nice dark Ecuadorian wrap, and Nic and DR leaves under the hood.

The construction, as with almost all Altadis stix, was very good. Although I sipped it so slowly, that I had to relight it at the halfway point. But I blame myself for that...I am a sloooooow sipper. It had a firm draw, which I like. And it is a medium body cigar, with little to no nic kick.

Flavors didn't change at all during our hour together. I would describe it as a pleasant floral leather flavor.

I dunno what these retail for, but I would pay $3 online for it. Definitely worth a try.

Yep. I wouldn't rate it that highly, but it is a decent stick.]

Better than a Monte media noche, for instance.

Nat you gotta stop subjecting yourself as a guinea pig for these yard gars...come to the dark side. hehe...And that media noche was terrible. The Kristoff is a bit better - although it's painted - the pepper spice kind of hides the fact that the flavors are muted as well. Good value for the price range.

I'm going to shower you with premo ligero during our trip. Send me an email with your likes...

email sent. but no, do not bombard me with stix. I don't have enough high quality in my humi to return fire.

I might have a couple for you that you haven't tried, we'll see.

The stick was $7 w/tax at the bar and pints are $5. Ten dollar min to smoke "cigars", butts are nc.

I live on the NJ - NY border and some brands of cigarettes are $100+ plus a carton at the grocery in NY.
