Omar Ortez Original -- ROTT

OLS · 03-07-2011, 01:14 PM

I had one this weekend and I was not impressed. I think 15 years of smoking straight habanos has
wussified my palate. These things are so 'strong' that I do not get a lot of flavor. I can tell there is
nuance and flavor there, I just don't enjoy the stength. But I didn't buy them for me and promptly
boxed up 50 of em for Papa John. Was gonna get a few more chests, but ehhh....I'm torn.
Mine was ROTT and a day and a half of dryboxing. Had trouble in the lighting with a
funny chunk of partially burned tobacco hanging on for 1/4 inch, but other than that it burned
and drew like a dream. Lot's of smoke.

Smoking an Omar right now and had to dig up this old thread.

I can't believe I ever stopped smoking these things. I must have burned myself out on them. What amazes me the most is that the blend and construction have not gone to crap over the years.

Without a doubt, one of the best sub-$4 cigars around. Maybe THE best.

Thank you, Mr. Ortez.

These "were" incredible smokes. I had quite a few stocked up and just smoked what I had. Eventually, I ran out. So, in the past few years I have picked up a 5er here or there of one line or another. I cannot say that I have the same love for these. Is it the blend, or my tastes that have changed? I am guessing blend, for there is just a ton of stuff that I remembered being there, which is no longer there.

They were a great cigar. And at about $2.00 a stick, they were an absolute steal!
