for the price these are a great smoke. I enjoy the smallest size myself and look forward to trying the Dos Capas 1844 soon!

I just got the new catalog and the no#50 (the smallest size) looked reminiscent of a AF short story....

I was curious and picked up a 5'er.....hope their not duds.....

I had one a couple week's back and was pleasantly surprised. Like Xavier, I thought they great for the price. For that, they are absolutely worth a try.

I've probably smoked at least 20 of these...and have 3-4 boxes in different sizes.

It boils down to this: the stick looks like S#!t and smells like a barnyard - but the flavors are fantastic. The San Andres maduro really comes through, and the fillers AJ used balance out the spiciness quite nicely.

The #50 is a great 30-40 minutes smoke, and the price point is pretty damn good as well. The other vitolas maintain the flavor profile, just stretch it out for a while (in the case of the #58, QUITE a while) longer.

This is another one of those cheap sticks, like the Obsidian, that consistently go for here, at or above regular CI price. Won't personally pay more then a buck for something that retails for $2.50, so until all you arse hats stop overpaying for these, I'll just have to wait to try this one. Heck, the 50s are on FF right now, and if you wait till the very bottom ($22.50 for 10) you save almost a whole quarter per stick. Wow, let me at that deal. [sarcasm]

Jamie,

I've only been going after the singles, and have been outbid everytime with $2 and $3 bids (plus 25 cents per stick shipping). Maybe I need to look at the 5vers.

My buddy Surfish smoked one at our weekly Dante herf and said it was a nice stick.

Yeah I asked for one in the yard gar PIB pass and didn't get one so I started looking a bit and figured the fiver would be the way to go. I just got lucky on a quickie lot ( I maxed bid to 9 on that one)

I really like them. Whenever I have a 5ver at home they're gone by the end of the weekend. Is it the best cigar you'll ever smoke. Doubtful. But as others have said before me, for the price they're pretty darn good.

Now that you have me thinking about them, I may have to get some for the house for Christmas.....
