Obsidian Cigar

[maninblack]

Any of you guys seen these? I saw them in the new cigar.com catalog and am intrigued. The blend sounds great and they have a menacing black band that almost covers the whole cigar. They are made by the same folks that make the PDR's. Anyone smoked one? I might jump on a box since they are pretty cheap.

Those look pretty good. I might have to get me some of those

I knew it would someday come to this.

First there were none...
Then they were simple, small and understated...
Then they became more fancy, more complex...
Then they grew...
Sometimes there were even two...
Then they grew some more...
Now, it has finally been accomplished...
After years of intensive research and work...


















































...someone finally put out a cigar with a bigger band than Gurkha.

Wow... Those do have a huge band... at first I thought you were talking about the Padilla Obsidian... I haven't seen these new ones tho. Looks tempting, and usually that means way out of my price range. However, after looking at CI these are not.. I am so confused!

[Emjaysmash]

I wonder if the huge band is to hide all the imperfections in the wrapper.

Dang, imagine all the torn wrappers these sticks could have if they use too much glue on the band...

I want to try them as they are the only recent cigar CI has advertised that doesn't cost a left testicle.

No joke... I smoked a Diesel while fishing this weekend that was completely stuck to the cigar... it was glued all the way around... I eventually just snipped the band end of the cigar off with my Xikar and curiously spent the next 10 minutes trying to get the band off... It was literally glued in a full circle around the cigar.

The rest of the cigar smoked great tho btw... lol

Ridiculous!

[Zeuceone]

That's a big filter for that little nub.

[maninblack]

Glad you pointed out the fact about the glue on the band. Didn't think about that. Would be pissed if I ruined a whole box trying to remove the bands.

VERY curious about these. :D :D

I was looking at these as well very interesting band not to mention the unusual price diference between a single stick and a box. Take the double perfecto, $8.00 single- $74.95 for a box of 20. That figures to about $3.75 a stick when bought by the box. I know you generally get a box discount but jeez over 50% off is a little unusual.

my band fell off. ERdM cigar. very good. just like good cigar!

[Sherlockholms]

I had seen these, and the band is huge. Looks like an interesting smoke.

I noticed that...the box discount is insane. They look mighty tasty.

I'm thinking about grabbing a box myself. :hm

[kelmac07]

Box split anyone??

[maninblack]

Box split anyone??
