San Lotano Oval: Natural or Maduro?

RevSmoke · 05-23-2012, 03:05 PM

So, those of you that have tried them, which do you prefer?

For those of you that haven't tried both, which ever you did try, are these worth pulling the trigger on?

Thanks.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I've smoked 2 of the maduros, been looking for a deal on a box ever since.

Great smoke IMO

I've had several of the offerings,Habano wrapper is what I'll grab first.
All were tasty imo.

I really enjoyed both Todd but I am a Maduro slut so I lean to the maddy's.

kelmac07 · 05-23-2012, 04:48 PM

Both are extremely tasty, my #2 cigar of 2011...best of the San Lotano line. And as much as it saddens this maduro whore to say, the habano wrapper is slightly better. Definitely worth pulling the trigger.

In the larger size I prefer the Maduro but the Habano in the Corona is

TJtorpedo · 05-23-2012, 06:23 PM

I've only had the maduro, but it was damn tasty. Looking forward to trying the habano soon.

TJarv · 05-23-2012, 07:14 PM

Maybe I should pick up a habano

Agree with this 100%

Ogre · 05-23-2012, 08:24 PM

Like all the above, content go wrong with either one!!!

Brooks W · 05-23-2012, 08:46 PM

Habano is the better cigar, IMHO, but the maduro is still quite good.

Silound · 05-23-2012, 10:07 PM

I don't know why, but neither of these cigars did it for me. Honestly I kept looking for something other than dry earth and couldn't find it. Granted I smoked them within a week of them showing up, but I was expecting a little more.

I kept a few of each wrapper in a few sizes to sit on. I've had them about 3 months (I think...), so around July I'll pull them out and see if maybe I just smoked them too fast or if they're just not my thing.

Maduro or habano. Great either way.

Remember when the 601's came out? I had the same problem. I couldn't believe the red was so much better than the blue, it made me feel all dirty.
I do love a Habano wrapper, especially when they're nice and spicy sweet and full flavored. I can remember smoking my way through box after box of Padilla Habanos when they first hit the shelves, they were SO good.
I just didn't tell anyone, I didn't want anyone to know I was cheating on my maduros.

I've had the following Todd:

SL connie robusto
SL habano robusto
SL Maduro robusto
SL Oval corona in habano 2000 wrapper, and,

out of all of the bunch, really enjoyed the SL habano robusto

The rest of em just seemed to lack IMO...

363 · 06-20-2012, 07:37 PM

I'm not 100% sure but I think I lucked out and got a bundle as AJ overruns from a CI daily deal, I thought they were box pressed and my uncle (who I split the bundle with) said they looked like the ovals. If I post a pic later can anyone clarify?

TJarv · 06-20-2012, 07:38 PM

Possibly

DaBear · 06-20-2012, 08:16 PM

I found the Maduros to taste like burnt and like they were trying to fit as much spice as humanly possible in the smoke, and not in a good way. Thought I may have grabbed a dud, but one of my coworkers had the same experience. I'll give em another go sometime, but just haven't been in the mood to destroy my palate of recent. The habano was a nice smoke, but there are many other sticks I reach for first.
