I personally liked the Serie C and was disappointed that I could no longer get them!

Interesting, Jonathan had told me that they were discontinued. Thanks for the info.

anyone know how these compare to the celebracion series? particularly, the churchill size (in the celebracion)...

Pretty good smoke but I'd rather smoke the Antano at $3.45 a pop.

I have only had the corona size in both blends. The Fuerte will be a bit spicier and stronger than the Celebracion. I really like the Antano, but since the price increase I dont find them as appealing. For $40 a bundle, I think these hold up well in the class. Different from the Nic 3000, but just as good a value.

That's why I was there, we were doing the Drew Estate/Cigar Safari Tour. Jonathan sure knows how to put together a great event, I had a blast!

Cool. I really want to get down there one of these days (weeks) for that.

I just got two bundles delivered today. I smoked a Consul size this afternoon.

A very rustic looking cigar, lots of veins and bumps on the wrapper. The prelight aroma was fantastic. Scents of black tobacco and raisins.

The first inch was flavorful. Straight forward tobacco flavor with decent strength. Quickly became smooth with lots of chocolate flavors and became soft to the feel. It remained that way to the nub.

This is definitely not an Antano. It is a nice cigar for the price, but it's not a butt kicker. Worth a try at two bucks, but I wouldn't spend a penny more.
