Has anyone tried these? The box prices are good on CI and I'm considering jumpin' on a box. Any feedback would be appreciated! :-D

Are you looking for one of these too?:r I may have sent you one, can't remember. I know you said you were looking for "a good value stick" so I know I sent a couple of those. Check you're mailbox later.

The ones I sent out to folks are good but fairly young. I had them boxed for a couple of months before I sent them out.

So far, kinda "eh". The cigar itself is a bit rough looking. The ash, while still on is looking a little worse for the wear.
Flavor wise, its basically bland tobacco tasting;a bit harsh. Its mild-med body, on the milder side and the filler is buring faster then the wrapper.

Lol. Ill be back with more updates.

...And, Back.

So, I had to put her down early, around the halfway point.
The smoke realy started irritating my throat, which made it even more unenjoyable. Flavor wise, it ranged from tasting like I wasn't smoking at all, to harsh bland tobacco, to some sort of fresh herb, like smoking bay leaves or basil.

IMHO: :td

That's too bad. I liked the one I smoked but thought it could really use some down time. Sorry to hear about your experience.

No worries Mario! I am still very appreciative for the cigar! Thanks for bombing it to me!!

Hmmm, after hearing that I'm thinking it may have needed more down time like Mario mentioned. I guess I'll let the one Mario sent me spend more time with his buddies in the humi for a few more weeks instead of torching it this weekend.

VERY good smoke.

I don't care for the Antano or the Celebracions, but I love the Clasico.

Jump on 'em quick, as I believe they only alloted a certain number of these to be priced lower to "reintroduce" the brand.

i have to admit...i tend to shy away from JDNs...I have had some less than stellar experiences - they seem (in my personal experience) to lack consistency. I lean toward those that have proven consistency to me since I am limited on funds - CAO, Punch, Oliva, Padron, etc have all been consistently positive experiences for me

Excel, there's the Dark Corojo and the Clasico Criollo. They are different though. You have a Criollo coming to you as we speak. You might have a Dark Corojo as well, don't remember on that one. If I'd known you hadn't tried them with your recent buying spree then I would have definitely included one with the rest of your sticks.

No Problem buddy! And thanks for your generosity...

It will not go unPUNISHED! *lol*:D

Careful sport. This may end with multiple shots fired across the Rio Grande.
