Has anyone tried these yet if so what did u think of them? Seems like people online are making them out to be the less pricey lp 9.

I just got mine like two weeks ago.

First inch is really good then just good. Last third bitter.

I think these will be really good after a year.

I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on some of these since I saw them they look really appealing and keep getting good reviews. Letting them age shouldn't be a problem I will stick them in the back of the wineador and visit them in about 6 months or so to see how they are doing

So that explains why these are being overbid here by a bunch of yahoo idiots. LP9s they are not. Not even close. I have a box each of the Robs and Toros. Starts off nice, but ends bitter, just like Jamie said. Good $2 smoke. Nothing more.

But yeah that's part of the problem of them being bid up in price is there are several online reviews that make them out to be a cheaper lp 9

Any reviewer who calls these cheaper LP9s should have his BOTL card revoked, and his stash confiscated, as he shouldn't be smoking cigars, let alone reviewing them. Must have the palate of a 90 year old grandmother.

You sure these reviews weren’t written by CI copy writers? Sure sounds like the whimsical fantasy most of their stuff is based on.

I enjoyed mine but i'm going to have to agree on the rest. Mine was pretty good for at least the first half then i had issues with burn.

I've only had 1(robusto).......my assessment was that these may have hit the shelves somewhat young.That being said they IMHO have tremendous potential.If the last 2/3's get anywhere close to the first third after some nap time(tobacco marrying together).........I think these could be a 90's+ cigar.Right now I'd give it an honest 85........that tannic last third really hurt the score.

Now as far as the LP9 goes......I've never been overwhelmed by them.Just an ok cigar I'd pay no more than $5 for.For what it's worth I thought the first third of the GtP robusto blew the LP9 out of the water.Only time will tell if my assessment is correct........and my motto is "I may not always be right but I'm never wrong".

I thought I was the only one, bc the LP9 didn't do much for ne either...I bought two of the Toros, smoked one about 2 days after I got it, the other will be chilling out for a while...Very salty, about halfway thru, very bitter...

^I guess he doesn’t know that they are $69 at CI and the 3rd cousin site. Makes my $61 win look like a bargain. In fact, I think my win was the lowest so far, and personally, I overpaid. As I said before, good $2 smoke.

Does it have hints of LP9? Sure! In the same way the cream cheese frosting on a cup cake might remind you of cheesecake.

I can absolutely see where someone struggling to find a basis of comparison to describe this would go to the Liga Privada and say "it reminds me of...". It isn't the same cigar though, not even 90% the same.

I also get 100% behind all comments that it seems kind of young. I'm hoping some rest will mellow some of the bad qualities out of this cigar and turn it into the super sleeper cheapie cigar that some people seem to think it already is, but I haven't seen yet.
