The last time I had a Te-Amo was probably 1993. Don't know what they're like now, but back then they were, for me, kind of a 'cigar you love to hate' thing. The flavor was... ahem...
unsophisticated, but somehow attractive for that same reason. It was a real STOGIE, if you know what I mean: brash, harsh, stinky, simple, unrepentant. They tasted like molasses on grass and upset my stomach. Probably the only cigar I enjoyed (from time to time) that I could never bring myself to recommend to anyone else. I liked the maduro-wrapped Toro size. I think I probably paid about $1.80 for 'em.
This comment is probably useless, as it's essentially 20 years old and I'd bet they're quite different today. Thanks for the opportunity to indulge a fun memory, though. Good luck in your exploration!
