Los Blancos Cigars

[acruce]

I was wondering if anyone has tried this line of cigars.I was gifted a few cigars from David Blanco him self to review. They look like quality smokes. I will give a review this weekend once I have had chance to smoke them.

David is a cool guy. No doubt. I drove him to a liquor store once.

However, his cigars are not good. The bands and construction are nice, but the flavor is lacking significantly.

I was a rep for him a few years back, I couldn't give away those cigars. I would take off the bands and hand them out at a few different B&M's and ask their customers what they thought of the smokes( a mix of the sumatra, conn, and maduro, he didn't have the Crillio at that time)....24 hated them, 1 liked them. Then I told them the retail price and the 1 guy flipped to the other side.

Then he chewed me out for not being able to sell his cigars(he wanted me to UPS all the samples I had back to him, on my own dime!).....funny thing was I repped for DE, Oliva and TT and had no problem selling those.

We have been doing buy 3 get 1 free of Los Blancos the last 6 months, some people buy them, but not many. The Los Blancos Primos sell more than his Los Blancos brand. I think they are all **** TBH.

I really think the only thing those cigars having going for them is the packaging, and that ain't saying much.
