El Original (Island Smoke Shop house blend) Maduro

[DougBushBC]

I bought this cigar from inmate/Island Smoke Shopkeep MaduroFan a few months ago. I was in the keys again today, but didnt get a chance to stop in to see Bill. Getting home this evening I decided to smoke this classic (received huge ratings a few years ago...) tonite.

It was really a unique flavor profile and nice draw. I tasted a lot of nutty/earthy flavors, and the burn was razor sharp. Unfortunately I was unable to take any pictures (read: was too good to go get the camera) but I really enjoyed it. There are few house blends that can compare to these beauties. If you get a chance, try one or ten of them.

Also, give old Bill (MaduroFan) a bump for tending to a great stock and sharing his products with inmates.

Bill is a BOTL's BOTL. Very unique cigars indeed, one of the few NCs I would smoke these days.

Great review! They sound like a must try! How would one go about finding these?

I have not had the Maduro, but the natural wrapper is quite a nice smoke. I really like the corona size. :tu

One of the best "House" blends out there! Bill is an awesome BOTL too!! :tu

[DougBushBC]

yep, the lanceros in any wrapper are great with the claro being my personal favorite over the natural and maduro. Tom's right, a great NC worth giving a chance plus Bill is super cool to talk to.

You are a rare smoker to pick Claro over Maduro and Natural... Next time im down there I will try it just on your recomendation!!!
