Having one of these today: It’s a Robusto, wrapper is a bit sketchy, it seemed crisp & wanted to unravel. both hygrometers were calibrated using Boveda 75% bags, the lid hyg. read 70%, bottom one read 65%, these were in the bottom.
Not a bad flavored cigar, seems to be mild/medium just burns a bit wonky with the wrapper unraveling. It even sounded a bit dry/crispy occasionally on the draw
Looks like they need a slow...s-l-o-w introduction to huinification over the next few weeks/months. Or.....need to be returned. All that aside, would you get them again? how'd they taste? My go to for mild cigars has been these. I've got a few people that love them but can't take anything stronger. I still remember the first one I had. It was in a sampler pak and was by far the best of the bunch....gives you an idea of just how much quality that sampler pak had!
Looks like they have been in the humidor since about April 1st or 2nd. The flavor was similar to the Macanudo I had, it was mild & somewhat creamy with just a slight mild spice to it. Not unpleasant just a mild cigar to me. I will try another one on down the road but so far neither the Alec Bradley or Macanudo have not measured up to the Montecristo. I don’t know if I would buy them again at this point, I will have to try another to make that assessment. Maybe it was my frame of mind or the weather. I will give it a fair try again.
Choked down one of these yesterday. It wasn’t to bad to gnaw on, but it was too dry for smoking. Couldn’t enjoy it much.
I have a couple different types of 5 Vegas but letting them rest for awhile before giving them a try.
I am going to give the Crazy Alice a try while loading beans. It’s a pretty slow process at my uncles place so it should give ample time to try Alice out.
I would definitely buy these Ladies again. A very nice smoke, draw is a bit tight off the get go but not terrible. If you watch the review on Cigar Obsession about it, I pretty much concur with what Brian said about them. I am glad I bought 2 of them at the smoke shop when I was there. Now I want to try the Fat Bottom Betty’s & Baby Janes I have.
I think it was a Cafe’. The wrap was peeling and had to relight a few times. Definitely need some time in a damp humidor
I hope so, the AAA have only been in the humidor about a week-10 days, the Series A-Archetype have been in there about 3 weeks.
The next purchase is going to be a couple good lighters, the ones I bought are turds. Any recommendations ?
They are pretty hot with a pointy torch flame, but cheap for what they are, and refillable. I use them for all kinds of stuff like lighting the grill, wood stove and the occasional firecracker haha.
