By all acounts this years crop as well as last years crops are among the best in years. This bodes well for some great blends and tinkering with some old ones.now for the every day smoker deals.
thompson is offering 100ct and 50 ct boxes of rolando reyes'rolly brand cigars. these cigars come in maduro and shade grown wrappers.In 6x52 toro sized sticks.The box of 100ct i ordered delivered plumes of smoke.(happy days indeed)The box I ordered seem to be a mix of cuba aliados and puros indios. the construction has been flawless. At a 1$ stick for the 100ct these cant be beat for an every day smoke. med across the board for flavor and body I wouldn't pass these up.
Cigars international is offering a brand called argenese for a 1$ a stick in robusto(5x50) size. the maduro is a bit harsh. and the habano wrapped is not a bad blend out of the chute.I think the maduro should be put to bed for a few weeks before smoking.yes I do smoke premium cigars and will post some of my reviews in upcoming installments. I will also be doing a complete brand assessment of C.I.'s black pearl line in the robusto size. the summer is winding down and ICPR's show is has just recently wrapped up. I know my local B&M is bemoaning the slugish shipments he's getting but this is par for the course.There are some really good buys out there wich may be more a statement of our economy than band blends out there.Ok so ending on a happy note CAO is continuing production of one of my favorite blends. The la traviata is still in the stable of blends being offered by CAO. However my sources tell me the maduro line may be heading into the sunset due to lagging sales. All the best.spark em up if ya got em!
