Default La Floridita toro natural

Got a bundle of these quite a while back and they were WAY too wet to smoke. Laid them down in one of the coolerdors and busted one out this morning.

Nice smoke! Especially for a buck-and-change bundle cigar. Medium "strength", lots of subtle flavor changes. Creamy/buttery, a bit of spice, and a nice coconut flavor on the finish. Burn is a bit cooked but only required a couple of touchups.

These are Connecticut wrap cigars, and normally I like my CT cigars on the milder side, but I could definitely make an exception in this case.

Sounds good! Where did you get these from, Mark?

They are a Famous Smoke Shop house brand. Well under $2/stick retail.


The maduros are better but the wrappers are "enhanced".

I picked up a bundle of the Lonsdales a few years ago. I would agree with your review, they are a good bundle smoke.
