Just wondered if anyone has tried this cigar? They come in a triangular shaped slide lid box of 18 with no labels 5 x 50. Look pretty good from what I've seen on the internet. LMK

Powerful. I smoked one while we visited Caribe in Little Havana. I personally have never smoked a stronger cigar. I like to blow smoke out the nose periodically during my smoke and believe me, be careful with this one. I'm about to try one that has been resting since last Nov. to see if some of the edge has been smoothed. I love the taste of corojo tobacco so I'm looking forward to it. BTW, the box is cool

The box looks cool, but getting that first cigar out can be a pain in the butt. aBuc, you will be amazed at what 6 months does to those. Ya big sissy! :P

Guys, 6 months have done wonders for them.The edge is definitely gone. They have turned into one of the greatest cigars that I have ever smoked. Well, next to the Casjucas, that is!

a great smoke. Make sure to smoke on a full stomach. Unlike the opus, this cigar has great complexity and great taste. It doesn't try to simply kick your ass like an opus. This is a cigar for someone who appreciates great cigars, not a wannabe. Oh, and the price is considerably better too.

This is the best non-cuban out there. Peroid, no ifs, ands or buts about it--I'm trying to get a handle on two boxes sometime this summer. They are out of this world.
