grawk Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am smoking a 2 year old el rico habano rico club maduro. I like these quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 A friend of mine really likes those 5 Vegasesees. it was different, but enjoyable. started out with a really easy draw, which weirder me out. but the taste was good, nothing amazing and intricate, but good. everything improved towards the end of the cigar. draw got more "normal", taste a little fuller. on the whole not bad for my newbie pallette. apparently they are like don pepin's budget brand. ooh, I bought some ronson lighters from wal-mart this week. much better then wood matches!

grawk Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I liked the "The Edge" lancero I tried. I've heard there might be counterfeit edges out there. Of course, it could just be that you don't like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Had a JLP yesterday. Not enamoured, but for under $3, it's hard to complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt fury Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Are you happy @ $3 and just not in love? Or totally unimpressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) At $3, I preferred the El Ricos, but you can't get those for $3 anymore, so I'll probably end up ordering more. I'll say I'll reserve judgement til I've had a few more. I still appreciate the pointer, they're not dog rockets. updated: trying another one now Jose L. Piedra Brevas Not bad for a cheap cigar. Construction is rough, but flavor isn't bad. Edited August 4, 2009 by grawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postjack Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 oliva serie g. got a nice oliva score at the local b&m today. apparently it's oliva month. 10 olivas for $40. some G, some O, some V, some Nubs, some CT reserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt fury Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 They're machine-made, so construction can occasionally be spotty. Revisit them after they've had a rest, they're usually a bit more impressive than that. I can't recall which, but it's either the brevas or the cremas that my friends prefer.

naamanf Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Jose L. Piedra Brevas Not bad for a cheap cigar. Construction is rough, but flavor isn't bad. Have not tried the Brevas but did go through a bundle of the Cazadores. Not bad but for a little bit more you can get the Por Larranaga Panetelas which IMHO are far superior.

matt fury Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 We've had nothing but bad luck with the Cazadores, which is a shame, because the size is a lot better than the smaller JLPs. The PLPs are pretty good, but a lot more expensive these days, esp. considering the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
