I'm with Kevin on this one. I enjoyed the first one I had, albeit, nothing to write home about. Revisited these this morning, the 6X50, and must say I was unimpressed. Flavors seemed to be "muted". Maybe I was just expecting more...who knows?

Default Re: Est. 1844

I have noticed big differences in these. One will be great the next will be a bit flat. I have always prefaced my love of these with "for the price". I do think there great for the dollar each (maybe two dollars sometimes) that I give for them. Also the last few shipments seems less exciting than the first ones I got, Maybe different harvest or time might actually do these a favor. Either way I will do my duty as a BOTL and smoke many more in the name of research of coarse.

I just had one of these (50 xtra) this afternoon, and I can't say that I was impressed. It felt like it was fairly loosely rolled, and it's draw was very easy. It tasted fairly sweet, and I think that I could make out caramel and cocoa. I really had to be careful not to draw too fast, or it got hot and a bit harsh.

Not a bad smoke, but nothing great. I might let the remaining sticks sit for a few months and see if they improve.

Got a box of 58s cheap and they've just been sitting for a while. Saw this thread and decided to fire one up. Decent enough for the price point but cant touch my favorite el cheaply. Just not much too it.

I think a lancero would be amazing. The #50 was the first box of cigars I ever bought. Great smokes for sure.
