Te Amo?

[OHMatt]

Te Amo is a love/hate cigar, Puros Indios is the only other brand I can think of that has such polarized opinions.

My feeling on (both); a cigar I would not care to smoke often but which I really enjoy every once in a while. A very distinct blend easily recognized. This is a cigar you really should sample one or a 5er before buying a box unless you get a great deal.

While Te-Amo is often in my humi; I would not call it a "go-to" cigar; some of the suggestions in this thread should be considered.

Another thought:
Te Amo (and Puros Indios): sort of a White Castle/Crystal slider in the cigar world to me.

I'm in the process of assembling a bunch of fivers from Famous to find more cheap go to's.

Anyway, my question; normally from 100 reviews, I can get a sense of whether something is worth trying, however, Te Amo reviews are just all over the board from the worst thing I ever smoked, to the second coming. So I thought I would ask my assemblage of well-seasoned BOTLs and SOTLs here? What are the thoughts on these enigmas? Thanks in advance.
