i love the search function.

Todd i smoked one yesterday one the way to work...made me glad i was stuck in traffic and the 45 minute took an hour and a half.

i smoked the robusto 5x50, dark oily wrapper, large veins, and a couple of soft spots. my sinuses are kicking my butt right now but on lighting the cigar, the draw was a little tight but not bad enough to complain about, i was hit with spicy pepper, deep earth, and leather. as i said sinuses are all crazy right now so i couldn't tell if there was any "lighter" flavors going on.

the spice toned down on the second third but as far as i could tell the flavors were the same.

last third the spice kicked back up, the earth and leather returned and a "sweetness" of some sort showed up.

not much of a review and with the sinuses going haywire i could really pick up anything other the the "bold" flavors, and if that is all that is present and the next one i smoke is the same as this one then i will still be happy. it was a very satisfying cigar and i will add this to the box purchase list.

i hope that helps you out a little Todd

Just got a box of Toros off auctioneer.

I thought just OK, and I love LFD's. Only smoked one so far. I thought it started very medium (medium -). LFD profile was barely detectable. Strength did grow past the 2 inch mark to more closely resemble more powerful LFD sticks. Wrapper was kind of mottled and resembled the LFD double ligero wrapper in appearance, but they say this is a Nicaraguan wrapper. Burn was not good and went out too many times for me. I tend to smoke cigars slowly so I appreciate a cigar that maintains its burn. I dry boxed it for a week, but it might have been a little moist still. Take this with a grain of salt, I've only had one. Another cigar board I frequent raves about them.

Also picked up Padilla La Crianzas and la Zonas (bundled stick from Eric Espinosa/famous). Haven't smoked la Zona but so far preferred the la Crianza to the famous LG Sig.
