So, I am always looking for a deal on great smokes. So, there comes an advert from Cigar Page about their Class 34 cigars with the usual cover story of "these cigars come straight from the same factory as their famous counterparts but without the middle man and the fancy bands or packaging" story. I really enjoy lanceros, so I put the maduro #9, mad #47, sun grown #14, and Connie #1 in the cart. Then I ought, "what am I gonna do with 76 cigars I don't like." (Figuring I tried one of each and they were not good) So I got in touch with another pastor up here who enjoys cigars but is always looking for a deal. He said he'd buy half of them at that price $2.00 a stick.

Well, I have each of the maduros and while I did not plan to review them and so did not take notes...they were both very good. 9 had hints of coffee and cocoa, burning to a short nub. The 47 was a bit bolder with some spice, also burning to a short nub. No burn issues for either.

At this point I am glad of the order.

Glad They Were Good To You, Todd!. I'm Like You. Most Of The "Bargains" Are Crummy Sticks!

I am looking forward to the other 2 now. If they are even close to as good as these, I will be glad to have made the purchase. I like the sticks I like, and I like trying new things. It is nice however when you can go out fishing, or sit on the tractor clearing the driveway, or when you out mowing you have a cigar - and let's face it, not pay 100% attention to it. BUT... it is a decent tasting cigar when you do pause to ponder it.

So, it appears these may be in the category.

Or, when you go to a pastoral conference and a few guys are mooching because the only smoke cigars around you, you can give them something that isn't going to break the bank.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

You Too, Brother! Do You Have A Link To These Sticks? Thanks!

I liked the Maduro #9 & #47, the 9 was more cocoa and coffee...the 47 spicier and bolder. At least to my tastes. It was not that one was better than the other.

I have not tried the SG or Connie at this point, hopefully this weekend? Or one evening this week??? (Yeah, I'd like that, but...)

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Pretty solid smoke. Good draw and burn. Nothing mind-blowing flavor wise. I'd be a buyer at auction prices, but not retail.
