Harsh, bitter and peppery. That's about it.
I remember non-filtered Lucky Strikes & Camels tasting better.
Pitched it half-way through.

JDN, right? agreed... not a fan at all... wasn't expecting much for the price, but still not thrilled...

the antano's were the exact opposite side of the spectrum for me... close to no flavor at all... also not a fan...

big fan of the dark antano's though...

I really like the Rosalones. I've not had a JDN that I didn't like. Give it another try Carl, as Wombat said, let it rest a while.

My B I L loves them and I can always tell when he is smoking one cause they give off a god awful odor when lit. They smell like wet dog. I like them but have only ashed a couple and have not felt the need to buy a bunch so must not like them that much.

The Antanos are a NC brand I return to again and again. The Rosalones are a disappointment. I got a few before they popped up on here (almost a year ago, I guess), and they're still harsh little CI dogturds.

Oh, well - I'm sure the full-bodied CI fanboys love em.

I bought a box based off of the description (lighter bodied JDN) as I like the Celébrations and the 4x46 seemed like a great size. I won't buy again even at the $42 I got em at

I've tried all of the vitolas - most of them several times spread out over a couple of years.

The wrappers appear to be made from some sort of asbestos-impregnated textile.👎

I like the flavor of the Dark Corojos, but they are just too strong for my tastes now.

If I'm going to age cigars for that amount of time or longer, I'll start with better cigars.
Next you'll be suggesting to age floor trimmings!!!

Phfffft!!! Can I complain about the over-hype and over-sensitivity about everything DE without being banned?!?!

Well I changed my mind, and decided to smoke one this morning........
They are pretty bad.......... barely got past an inch before ditching it....
Think stale cigs, burnt newspaper, with an ashtray finish....
I tried to stay with it, puffed slower, softer, trying to make it OK, because I couldn't believe JdN would make such a turd...........
I was wrong.......
I'll revisit in a year......but I can't see them coming around.
At $1.80/ea, I overpaid...............considerably
