Oh and thanks Mac as if i wasnt blowing enough money with the wedding coming up fast.

Where'd you get them for $3.50? At that price I'd smoke a few

These are great sticks! I can get them for $3.74 incl.Tax in my local supermarket. I'll be buying a box so I can get them for $2.13 a stick!

Thanks A Lot, Mac! Another Cigar I have To Try!

Great Review, Brother!

Thanks for the review, Mac. Another I'll have to try, you self-proclaimed maddie-whore!

Went to a small cigar event at the local B&M tonight. They had a rep there pushing Montecristos put was handing out the Ormar Ortez Maduro Robusto Grande. I was totally surprised at how good this "freebie" cigar was. Mine has a very easy draw (V-cut), the burn was even all the way down to the last inch and the flavor was good and throughout. I expected it to get harsh and maybe a little bitter at the end but it wasn't. We were also treated to a Scotch Tasting. It paired well with the Talisker 18 year Old and with the Laugvalin (The Distiller's Edition).

For what looks to be a fairly inexpensive cigar, this is definitely a smoker.

They look really good and not expensive, I may have to stop at JR's (since they are right here in DC) and pick up a 5'er

irratebass · 10-28-2011, 12:47 PM

Seen these at a local B&M at lunch they wanted almost $7 for them, I had to pass.

Yah they are like $5 each at a local place by me!

kelmac07 · 10-28-2011, 02:25 PM

$ 5-7 a stick is a steep mark up.

For $ 150-160...grab a box of 60.

i actually had one of the maddys 2 nights ago. great solid stick and the price is right!!

dave · 10-28-2011, 03:01 PM

Back in 06 burned a lot of these. When they were relatively unknown I was picking them up at Norfolk VA B&M's for under $2.35. As they became more and more common, I felt the quality start to slide. I've only had 2-3 the last couple years, but they have had thin, cracked wrappers, tight draws and a bitterness that I don't recall experiencing years ago.

RevSmoke · 10-29-2011, 03:59 PM

Hey, have any of you had the OO Puro Maduro? It is a 6X54 and a complete Mexican Puro.

Only a 10 pack, but thought I would post this for those of you on the fence

That's a great price for a 10 pack. When I got the JR special, it was $2.15 per stick but I had to buy a box of 60.

Just revisited one of these after they've been sitting for 17 months and the caramel flavor has really come to the forefront.

Hey Mac,

These have really caught my eye. Somebody earlier on asked you if they compare to the Edge. What do you say? Similar? A knock off? I'm on the fence about trying them and was thinking about ordering a 5-er from CI.

Thanks!
Nick
