Yes. The new one is sweeter with less spice. It's good but not what I have come to expect with this cigar. Glad I stocked up!

See, that description sounds better than the 8/11 I had, at least in the robusto. I tried the Fernandez blended Padilla habano and was enamored with the slight sweetness on the finish of that cigar. I can't wait to try these, although they seem to be even pricier than they used to be, or is that just me?
