Ave Maria
 

Anyone here have some experience with this brand? I did a search and didn't turn up much aside from a review from Outlaw God (great review BTW). I've been eyeballing a box of coronas on C-Bid. Any info is appreciated.

I have smoked a few and IMHO they were great, can't remember the vitola, but notes of chocolate and coffee..a bit of sweetness, were really tasty!

Re: Ave Maria
 

:tpd: I enjoyed them

Re: Ave Maria
 

Sounds right up my alley. Just put in a lowball bid on the corona box. Not sure how high I'm willing to go to win it though.

Re: Ave Maria
 

Just get them, if you don't like em' send em' to me and Larry for proper disposal :tu

Re: Ave Maria
 

Haven't tried them yet, but I had heard good things from the net so I pulled the trigger on a box of the Holy Grails on the devil site. I'll let you know what I think when they arrive.

Re: Ave Maria
 

Another quality cigar from AJ Fernandez. :tu I love 'em.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I did not care for the one I had. Just wasn't in my wheelhouse. Nothing wrong with the cigar just not for me.

Re: Ave Maria
 

Really enjoyed the few I've had.
Just have a problem justifying the retail price.

Devil Site sniping will get you what you need. ;)

Construction ain't bad either.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I've had the Lionheart (robusto) and Clermont (corona) and really enjoyed both of them. The devil site usually has a box of either one in weekly rotation. The bidding usually gets up to $80-ish for them which is a fair price IMNSHO. I lucked out on a box of Clermonts before the holidays for $64. In summary: a tasty cigar that the devil site has boxes of regularly so you don't need to worry that if you don't get THIS one you won't get another chance.

Edit: If you want, PM me your address and I'll send you two to try. That way you don't end up with a box of smokes you don't care for.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I've tried the Holy Grail and the Knights Templar, and I really enjoyed both of them. Nice flavors with a good dose of pepper and they can be had for very reasonable prices.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I found them a bit on the light end of medium with a mostly cedar profile. Nothing particularly exciting but a decent solid cigar. For me it's a good cbid value but I wouldn't run out and pay retail.

Re: Ave Maria
 

If I werent honest I would be trying to get in on that try 2 offer. I agree though good smokes on the upper end of the medium body spectrum.

Re: Ave Maria
 

Supposed to be too strong for my taste buds so im staying away.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I've enjoyed every size I've smoked. Great cigar if you buy them from the devil site at the right price. I doubt I'd pay full retail though. Nice complexity and spice. 5'ers can be had cheap if you keep a sharp eye.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I don't care for them at all. AJ has only produced a few cigars I don't like. RP Fusion, Morro Castle and Ava Maria are 3 I'll never smoke again.

Re: Ave Maria
 

So, y'all need to fill up an empty humi...:noon

Re: Ave Maria
 

I totally agree. I got mine from C-Bid, and honestly found them disappointing. I thought they were lighter and pretty monotone in terms of flavor.

Re: Ave Maria
 

I enjoyed the 5er of Lionhearts (box-press) that I had. Would I seek them out? No. But they were a nice change of pace stick for me. :2
