Reading about 100% Colombian cigars yesterday. Curious if anyone has tried any - The descriptions said mild but flavorful - which usually means too mild to find any taste.

I used to smoke some all Colombian bundles that Lynn sold. I liked them.

Can't tell ya what they taste like, I don't do the whole "beautiful notes of leather and virgin female sweat notes" thing. I either like it or I don't, and I liked them.

what I read was they were creamy, mild with good flavor - unique. A lot of makers toss some columbo in the mix but few have 100% columbo

I am with you can't describe tastes too well

Columbian puros used to get you a few years in jail.

I don't think I've ever tried a 100% Columbian cigar but have smoked many that use the tobacco in a blend. I know the G.R. Specials Reds use a Columbian binder which works well with that blend.

I was given a few from a guy who was a cigar retailer in Columbia that he had made and was trying to market. They tasted like air. I kept looking to make sure it was lit and that I was exhaling smoke.

I believe I had one called Bravo once that was supposed to be columbian. I didn't really find it to my taste but some people seemed to be all over em.
