I like the Georges Reserve from Famous Cigars. Good flavor and construction. They run deals on them from time to time.
Physical/Virtual address of place you got these.. lol thats a crazy price I must get some.

I think he's referring to Flor de Olivas.

That makes a lot more sense now, thx.

fwiw the V lancero and Figurado can be quite nice when I'm in the mood for 'em.

Master Blend is a great cigar with the proper aging.
In fact, most of their sticks are good when aged. I've never had one that I enjoyed right out of the cello

The V and the Master Blend are my favorites now, but if I could get my hands on the red cloth bands again I would be in haven!!

Just curious... how long do you guys let your Olivas sit in the humi before lighting them up. It seems to me anyway the the Serie V and O are a little more sensitive and need that sitting time. I like to give them at least 2 1/2 months in the humi

The Connecticut Reserve is one of my favorite Connies, and I like the Special G size in the Serie G.

Have you compared the OR lancero V's to the new batches? To me there is a difference.

All the Cains are good (especially the F) and all pre 2010 V maduros are good (the new one with the mexican wrapper is not very good).

I would assume no because I started trying lanceros this year. What year is the OR for the V lancero and which do you prefer?
