Default The G.A.R. in comparison to the 3 Siglos.

What are your thoughts? I love the 3 Siglos especially after they've sat for a year. I have yet to try the G.A.R. It sounds like the G.A.R. is a less complex and less subtle blend.

When you say full flavored are you referring to a stronger nicotine kick or are the flavors themselves more pronounced?

The GAR is much more full bodied than any of the 3 Siglos I have had. Full flavor, more flavor. Like a 3 Siglos on HGH. Also, the GAR seem to have some depth and complexity beyond the 3S.

The 3 Siglos is a great cigar, have you tried the Fumas? They are just as good in my opinion but a bit cheaper!

EDIT - They are on sale too! LINK

I had one G.A.R. and enjoyed it very much. Very flavorful and slow burning.

I really like the 3 Siglos but am at a loss as to what a GAR is :-) and I'm not afraid to say it!

GAR is a new brand started by George Rico son of Giermo Rico owner of Gran Habano cigars. George used to work with his father but wanted to try his own thing and separated from him. His cigars are made in the Gran Habano factory but the two company's are completely separate.

I smoked the GAR today. Very earthy and quite tasty. I prefer an aged 3 Siglos though. I may have to pick up a box of the GAR and let it sit for a little while.
