Some of you may have noticed the Reposado '96 special on CI: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...sp?item=CS-RSB . I've never heard of 'em. Anyone smoked these or heard about quality?

Thanks.

Made by AJ Fernandez (Man O War, Sol Cubano Cabinet, La Herencia etc). I haven't tried it but from the reviews I have read, it was a decent cigar for the price.

I won a 5er of the Habanas from cbid a couple months ago and liked them. Kind of light weight, and fast burning for its size, but a nice enough medium bodied stick.

Don't know that I'd turn to salomons full time, but I'd say these are a good value, and as advertised in terms of flavor.

I pulled the trigger on these based on liking a j fernandez' other cigars. for a couple bucks a large stick they seemed like a good deal.

I bought the ones with the Habanos wrapper. They're medium body through and through with an easy draw. The wrapper tasted like it was short of being cured properly, but still a good smoke. I got a feeling that with a little rest they'll be an even better smoke. I'll definitely be getting some more of these.
