Cigar Weekly

jlancero · 07-11-2002, 11:52 AM

Recently purchased some smokes from fullerspullers.com. All non-boxed cigars were shipped in humi-packs and arrived in stellar condition. Joe is a recommended vendor in my book.

"The Noir - Robusto" (complimentary): A beautifully crafted vitola. Burned flawlessly and was packed with deep "dark" flavors. A winner for Joe indeed (thanks!). Recommended.

"Ashton VSG Belicoso": Although loosely rolled, this smoke kicked ass. An excellent balance of flavor, power and spice. How sweet it is! Recommended.

"La Luna Reserva Especial 1996 R- An excellent smoke by Gael. Flawless construction and dead linear performance. Rich and complex with a perfect balance of power. Too much fun. Recommended.

"Mayorga HOPT maduro"- I forgot how much I miss these. A rude looking vitola, offset by its great flavor and power. These sticks only get better with age. Burn is dead on. The best part of this cigar is when the second half kicks in. An experience akin to having raunchy sex. Yum. Recommended

Agree with your comments, also got the first three on your list and enjoyed them all

Nice set of to-the-point quickies. I've only had the Mayorga HO, but I'll have to give the others a go. Thanks
