Man, this thing was a shockingly good cigar for the money. Im gonna be buying more of these to keep around.
Had a really dark spice flavor. Hard to place the flavor exactly, maby like a real deep nutmeg/cinnamon flavor........not sure.
Real deep dark chocolate flavor at times.
I loved this cigar.

After I read up on them, I think the flavors I was trying to place was the espresso and cedar. First the deep spice of the espresso kicked in then it finished with a lingering sweet cedar taste.

There goes the neighborhood......:sl
I smoke these almost daily. I love them and have picked up around 100 in the last few weeks. I will say the bigger vitolas are better (IMO) than the "50's".
I have a hunch these will be harder to get for cheap soon.:sad
Oh yea...The boxes of 50's are out of stock at CI FYI. I'm back ordered on them.

I've only had the coronas and haven't been all that impressed. I've probably bought 6 or 8 of the 'Clown car samplers' from cbid - 1844 is my least favorite. Not awful, but hardly memorable.
The other ten cigars in the sampler are much better, IMHO. But at $2 per, I'm not complaining

A cigar doesn't have to be a certain RG to be good does it? :sh
I do tend to like thinner cigars too but in the case of the 1844 the bigger ones have been better IMO.
FYI. CI is now sold out of all vitolas.

That's the description I'm afraid of. I've tasted something like it in the Punch Uppercut, and again in the Illusione MJ-12, and I wasn't a fan.
Would you (or anyone else) say the profile was anywhere near either of those? I do like chocolate, I love cedar and coffee.... but the eastern spice flavor of those two really didn't do it for me.

I agree. I am a fan of the punch uppercut as well. They both share something, flavor wise, with the Padillia signature 1932 which may be what you are describing. I'm not experienced enough to say I'm certain but I like the flavor of all three.

04-09-2012, 10:09 AM
Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I'll smoke one anyway, just to see if it does give me that same flavor. At least it'll help in the future to know.
I've got a Padilla 1932 sitting around somewhere, I might light that up too.
Have you had an Illusione MJ-12?

Padilla 1932 is one of my favorites. I've only had one or two Illusiones but that was a while ago when I first got started. I think one of them had a silver wrapper so that may be it but I wasn't keeping good notes back then so I can't say for sure. I'll see if I can't pick one up this week and see if it fits the same profile.
Chesterton rules! :banger I have never read any of his non-fiction...just Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. I've put The Man Who Was Thursday on my list and will let you know how I like it. Thanks for the heads up. Always love to read books recommended by people who like authors I like.

I'd be quite interested to find out if you think they all fit the same profile, or nearabouts.
I might try to smoke the 1932 tomorrow night to see if I like it. I'm guessing I might not!
But it sounds like for those of you who like the MJ-12, the 1844 might be the ticket for you!

I may have worn out my welcome with CI.:D
Thank you for being a CigarBid customer! Unfortunately, the Est. 1844 Anejado No. 50 are out of stock. We are working closely with the manufacturer to resolve this. We will continue to keep the item on backorder for you if you’d like, substitute a comparable item, or we can cancel it from your order altogether. At this time, we do not have an estimated time of arrival for this product.
Backorders can happen for a few reasons. In some of these cases, inventory is miscounted or misrepresented because the item we had in stock was damaged or used to replace another customer’s order that was damaged or lost.
You were originally charged for the lots won and then you were refunded as soon as we realized that we were not going to be able to ship the item to you. You will not be charged again until the backorder is in stock and ready to ship out. We can send a replacement- perhaps a different size at the same won price. We can also cancel the backorder if that is better for you. If you choose to wait, you will know your shipment has left our Warehouse when you receive your email confirmation with your tracking numbers. Please reply by 4/20/12. If we do not hear from you the order will be cancelled.
Thank you for your patience! Please let us know if there is anything we can assist you with in the future.
Thank you,
Damarie

I also gave two other substitution offers which both are greater value (by chance), we will see how there customer service is.
They were selling boxes of 50's long after I won this particular auction and continue to sell fivers....what gives? If I'm out of something I would quit offering it and how are thy getting them fivers if there are no boxes available?
I think they are breaking down what boxes they have to make a higher yield of greenbacks.
They have done a few weird things now too me....I won a couple cigar fest posters, They said they were out and no longer (or ever) available then only wanted to credit me one dollar for the item. The second poster I won was deleted from my order before shipping and never received. Dunno.

Decided to snag a couple 5ers of the 58's for the $13 under the quick buy. 10 @ $2.60 each is a better deal than buying the retail price and 5ers often go for the $13 or more for any of the sizes.

I clicked it just as some other SOB got it. It was more like $22.80something I think cuz I was hitting buy just as it went under $23.
sucks. I got one earlier today.

Question-are people just not letting these fall for less than $22.50 or is it set up by CI that they won't let it go below that level? Just curious...

That's why my confusion-I saw your post earlier mentioning near $20, so I thought I was missing something.

22=near 20 in my mind. I think it went down to 21.70 before I posted. The bottom price will fluctuate too.

Just bought another 10 pack of the 50's for $22.00 even (shipped). Last night when I was putting my 50 extras in my ammodor, I thought to myself that I need to regular 50's to fill the bare space on the tray at the other end. They should fit perfectly.
Catching up to you Jared.........

Jared, I got a response out of CI.
I had asked them how long before they get some more in.
"It's really hard to say, we have many orders that have yet to be filled by our supplier. Boxes of 50-xtra and 54 are on our docks now and should be in early next week. What specific size were you looking for?"
Get on the phone and get them 50 extras or 54's heading your way buddy.

I technically won 50's but I like the bigger vitolas better and they said they will substitute.
Thanks Josh

Did you try cutting a little more off from the cap area to see if that helped?
I didn't have any draw issues with mine at all..........:confused:

I'm with Kevin on this one. I enjoyed the first one I had, albeit, nothing to write home about. Revisited these this morning, the 6X50, and must say I was unimpressed. Flavors seemed to be "muted". Maybe I was just expecting more...who knows?

I have noticed big differences in these. One will be great the next will be a bit flat. I have always prefaced my love of these with "for the price". I do think there great for the dollar each (maybe two dollars sometimes) that I give for them. Also the last few shipments seems less exciting than the first ones I got, Maybe different harvest or time might actually do these a favor. Either way I will do my duty as a BOTL and smoke many more in the name of research of coarse. ;)

I just had one of these (50 xtra) this afternoon, and I can't say that I was impressed. It felt like it was fairly loosely rolled, and it's draw was very easy. It tasted fairly sweet, and I think that I could make out caramel and cocoa. I really had to be careful not to draw too fast, or it got hot and a bit harsh.
Not a bad smoke, but nothing great. I might let the remaining sticks sit for a few months and see if they improve.

I think a lancero would be amazing. The #50 was the first box of cigars I ever bought. Great smokes for sure.
