:tpd: I like the #50 Maduros. They make great winter smokes or a smoke when your not sure if you'll get to finish it and may have to toss it early.
Greg, don't feel bad I am at full capacity box wise and practically stole a box off Cigar-Auctioneer and have no idea where the hell I am going to store it. All the Tetris in the world won't help me this week.

Man, I keep seeing the 8-5-8 Sungrowns popping up on here. Those things have been like unicorns and now I keep seeing a flurry of them popping up on this thread. These are a great stick if you can pick them up for retail. They have been kind of scarce in years past so the few I have found were usually marked up a bunch. Does anyone know if these are back in regular production? I know for a while it seemed like they stopped making them.

I got it at Neptune Cigar in Miami during a Pepin event for 20 bucks, you'd probably have to call them to get a coffin, I doubt they'd put it on the online inventory. They have four boxes full of coffins. They also have them on the Famous Smoke Shop inventory, but they aren't available yet. I imagine they would be available during the next week or so, shipments went out today.

Picked these up at a local B&M, they're ugly as sin; but they smoke super even, were cheap as dirt ($60 for the bundle of 25), and taste pretty good. On top of that, they're rolled in town so I get to support my local B&M by buying them.
They're a bit thicker than what I would imagine a Churchill being: 49-50RG.
And yes, the guy who makes them bundles them in newspaper.

Never done the Red Tubos...had several of the blacks. I'd personally let them rest for a bit...maybe at least 4-5 weeks? If you wanna try a comparison, perhaps remove the caps from a couple and leave the others. :2
I thought most Tubos leaked humidity anyway...

Jaime Garcia sampler in the mail today and my $20 Stinky!! Already broke it in...perhaps with one of those other guys that snuck into the photo ;) Can't wait to try the JG!

Just smoked my first JG this weekend. Smoked a Beli. I really enjoyed it and it carried a nice spice all the way through. The amount of smoke that came off this thing was insane. Looked like a freight train. I am willing to bet that you will enjoy them.

Xikar Xi (I'm deciding between this and a Palio)

My local B&M sells both tubos if you're in need.
I've had a red tubo resting for 10 days that I'm smoking after work today. But the one I just got will sit in for a good 6 weeks I'm sure.
The Palio Vs Xikar for me it's how much do you want to take off the cigar. Palios are great for a little bit and Xikar's are just monsters. The Xikar is smoother by far. The Palio has much more resistance.
I found the platinum 1999 tubos quite good, I did downsize to the rothschilds instead of the churchills though.
Yes Chingas but my humidor can't take anymore and neither can my bank account so that's my big last haul for at least ....6 weeks.

Well, I am just one man with his opinion...But I would definitely try before you buy...There are plenty of them out there, and they won't be selling out anytime soon at $20 per...

I read that earlier today Brooks. I was very surprised. It seemed like this cigar had greatness written all over it, and just based on your opinion and review, sounds like it pulled up short.

Damn those are dark. Looks like a 3 Musketeers. I wonder if they are dyed. Hey can you re-post the link for the Dirty Rat. Your link brought me to the My Father review and the only Dirty Rat review I could find was for the pre-release.

I have actually only reviewed the Pre Release so far...I am thinking of posting a Redux Review on the Dirty Rat (with box photos and real band photos) on Thursday...
Short Version, they are still great :)

Ahh, ok so the Rats are good. I thought it was the Rats you said weren't that good but now going back I see you were talking about the MFs.
Just off the truck - all the way across country from Tampa to Central Oregon - and ready to go down for some nap time.

Karl does it right! Great haul Brother!
These Tats are not Pete's best in my book but I am hoping that they are better than the first one's I had. Not bad just not great. The Jaime Garcia's are simply marvelous.

Not to mention the amount of smoke that comes off these things is just downright insane. I have only had two so far and both looked like freight trains even when just resting in the ash tray. One of the best sticks to come out of the Pepin camp as of late IMHO.

I liked the La Verite as well, but I just don't think it hits the $20 mark. The Tat 7th Reserva for around $9 is WAY, WAY better than the La Verite and just might be the best cigar of the year for me.

I would agree. The 7th Reserva is an outstanding smoke, IMO!

You are spot on! And the flavor is intensely good too!
Those Tats are very very good imo, I don't care what people say. They are good. I ended up with a box of 25 robustos.
Let me re-qualify! They are very good. But I had such high expectations for these after acquiring the original Tat Black jars, Tat Franks, J21 Reserva, Sir Winston, Cohete's and Tainos that these just did not meet my expectations. And I am a Tatuaje Ho!
Good cigar? Yes! But worth the hype and cost? Well.......bad value in my book!

Flavor-wise these were very good I thought. But the fact that the 2 that I smoked completely fell apart like no other cigar I've ever smoked, kept me from buying a box like I would've liked to.

You hit the nail on the head! The only thing worse than not enjoying a stick you spent $20 on, is liking the stick you spent $20 on :r :r
Never been a CAO fan but I am digging the La Traviata. And the price is awesome! Well the new Maduro version are a "must try" for sure. I like them so much I picked up 3 boxes. And they came with a free ashtray!
