The first time was great, this time he just put himself over the edge. He said that he wanted me to try a few everyday sticks, Wow, what a great friend and can't say thank you enough!

.....Here is a run down of what to expect from each,

KINKY FRIENDMAN LONE STAR 6x54 - Very good flavor. Another winner from the FREAK.
PUEBLO DOMINICANO 6.5x52 -Should age 4 week naked with 50 other maduro. Flavor develops VERY NICELY!
PADILLA HYBRID TORPEDO 6.25x52 - AN excellent HIGH MILD PADILLA. Creamy, buttery, nutty flavor notes!
AVE MARIA CHARLEMAGNE 7.5x54 -My favorite premium right now. LA GLORIA CUBANA + one full level of flavor.
ALEC BRADLEY '90' RATED 2NDS 6x52 - I believe to be a TEMPUS, maybe, possibly.
LA GLORIA CUBANA C.I. KNOCK-OFF CORONA 6.5x44 -medium, dark brown, OK tasting. No LA GLORIA.
PERDOMO2 MILERNARIO MADURO TORPEDO 6.5x55 -Just medium -so so-Not even close to a real PERDOMO2!
SALUTE TO ARMS MARINE CHURCHILL 7x50 -Medium-daily average-Falls short of what a Marine would deserve.
OLIVEROS EIGHT-ZERO CHURCHILL 7x50 -medium-nice flavor-another under the radar OLIVEROS winner.
5 VEGAS CLASSIC CHURCHILL 7x52 - has been aging naked since May. Very good, average daily smoke.
ARGANESE NICARAGUAN TORPEDO 6.7x52 - the best of the 3 Arganese offered here. High mild, very creamy smooth, natural tobacco flavor base. Great to fill in between your better premiums.
AUGUSTO REYES CRAND CRU TORPEDO 6.5x54 - Mild, very smooth morning cigar.
EL MEJOR EMERALD TORPEDO 6.5x54 - Solid medium, great Corojo flavor. One of the best under $2 options!
FELIPE GREGORIO ICON 'TWAIN' 7x50- Looks like "a lot more" then you get. Just a high mild, average smoke.
CU-AVANA CONNECTICUT CHURCHIILL 7x50 - A good, average mild, daily Connecticut option.
BAHIA BLU TORPEDO 6.5x52- first time 5 pack sampling, and the last time. Has a generic spice taste like PUROS INIDOS I can't stand.
CUBA ALIADOS MADURO TORO 6x53 -my favorite daily maduro. The only VERY GOOD cigar from Rolando Reyes I have yet to smoke.
PERDOMO SLOW-AGED MADURO CHURCHILL 7.2x52 - first time sampling and enjoyed very much. High mild, maybe just medium sweet, creamy , mild spiced maduro flavor. AWESOME buy at 20 for $35 here.
ALBION SUMATRA CHURCHILL 7x50 -Another first try and another winner- Mild buy very creamy and smooth. Perfect AM smoke if you want a change from Connecticut's.

.....just an average batch for you to get to know some of the good budget lines at Cigar Bid.

Haven't tried the Bahia yet, maybe I'll let it sit for awhile and see what happens. Can't say thank you enough for the smokes again Rich!

=d> =d> =d> very nice. Looks like lots of good smoking there. The sampler of samplers. Nice hit Rah.

JP

......no problem at all. And ya, let the BAHIA BLU sit for about 6 good months and see if anything happens. As of right now you ain't missin' nuttin'.

WOW! Nice hit right there!

Really that is all you got Rah.......

......explain? 🤔

Hit 'em!

Great hit rah! Very generous bro.

rah, I have to say that the bahia blue rott is nothing exceptional, but let is it six months it gets more complex. But I like puros indios so i may be biased. Rah is a kickin BOTL, i can vouch.

I will definitely second that opinion that he is a true BOTL and is always sharing ideas of good and bad smokes. Plus, he sent me a great useful website link on fixing dried out cigars, I had a problem with. Thanks for all the great help Rich!

RAH RAH RAH,

greatly done RAH

.....it's about time you posted here!

.....has anyone else Extremely Disappointed about the FACT that the PERDOMO2 MILENARIO MADURO & CAMEROON Torpedos are NO WHERE NEAR the same fine quality of the regular PERDOMO2 line? The Flavor is OFF a FULL level, and they burn like crap, uneven and hot most of the time. I know it is a VERY CHEAP cigar (25 - 6.5x55 Torpedos for $42.50), but these are not mistakes. They are what should be called a real KNOCK-OFF. Their is a huge difference. The ALEC BRADLEY '90' RATED 2NDS, are a legit mistake, over-run, whatever. They KICK-ASS like they regular lines for $2per here. With 99 other better $2 or less option offered here, I would never buy them again. The only reason I would think anyone would is because they won't spend more then $1.70 on any cigar.

😕

🤣

.....It is my bud from another forum, who I have exchanged a few bundles with, and suggested he check dis place out! As for the prior one, can't tell if it means what was sent fell short, or seems like a lot. If your going to send mostly good, but just average smokes, it should be close to 20. Just sayin'.
