Anyone try these cigars? The descrip sounds pretty good, and I'm a fan of Brazilian wrappers. The pigtail on the petit robusto is a nice touch.

NWStogie told me about these yesterday. He says that they are a real flavor bomb and has ordered a box. They intrigued me, but I'm tapped out right now so I had to pass.

I found a couple reviews. One claimed this cigar was fantastic and worth the price. The other one said that it was not as good as the Balmoral Anejo 18 that it replaced, and even though it is a well made premium, the one they reviewed became one dimensional in the 2nd half, and they did not recommend it.

FYI Balmoral is a line of premiums from Royal Agio Cigars in the Netherlands. They also make the dry cured Panters.


PM sent.

Thanks man!

👍

I tried the 18, once....

FYI I love Brazilian Apripica wrapper.

I haven't tried them but agree with Z that Brazilian Apripica wrappers are tasty. One of the main reason I bought so many of the Emilio Draig K before finding out they would not stay lit.

Totally blew my hair back. Great cigar. Ewok sent me one in his first trade last summer and I just got around to smoking it a few weeks ago. Great burn, smoke, flavor, everything. Found a box at more than half off and pulled the trigger for some more.

Anyone else try these?

Oh good it wasn't just me. Those damn Draigs were impossible to combust, I think I only succeeded in one that was agressively dryboxed. Such a disappointment.

had the Oscuro version, robbie, with dark San Andres wrapper...pretty good...
