    Looking for a "smooth" entrance to Bourbon

    Kentucky bourbons are my favorites and Jim Beam is my go-to sipping whiskey. I like mine about three fingers deep over one or two cubes of ice.

    I WON...

    I have some of the Artisans and they are excellent. Full bodied and complex. VERY tasty.

    RP Sun Grown

    I'm not a fan. I decided, after my first box, that I would not order any more but, I did. I wanted to give 'em a second try as many BOTLs here like them. I was disappointed again. The finish is, to me, what I can only describe as long and dusty and the blending leaves much to be desired. Tates...

    What's this?

    I believe that Jerico has been made in at least two different blends. I tried about ten of these more than a year ago. They were about $3 each and for that price, I enjoyed them well enough. Not a bad cigar with a good enough price/quality ratio. Well rolled, fair burn, mild to medium strength...

    Opinions on Puros Indios?

    I tried the classic yesterday. It was sent to me free of charge from Reyes Family Cigars. It's nothing to write home about. It was, I believe, a piramide (their spelling) #2. It was not the normal pyramid shape though. More like the Indian Tabac Teepee shape with a pointed tip. The foot had...

    I like these although not enough to by them by the box. Just a now and then cigar to add a little variety to my smoking pleasure. No strange smells as you describe.

    Equus Cigars

    Like some others here, I've received them as freebies with my Atlantic orders. My main complaint was that the wrapper always (almost always) came undone. As good or better than many house or bundle brands. The smoke was mild and a litttle bland but, not a throw-away although I would not...

    Taboo Twist

    It was gifted to me at herf held at The Cigar Merchant, from a brother in Lafayette, LA. He works there and I assumed that it came from there. He may have been aquired them elsewhere.

    Atlantic Cigar

    How nice. I do most of my business internet ordering with them.

    Taboo Twist

    No complaints here but, the first one I tried about three months ago from a B&M was a prettier cigar with more contrast in the wrappers, both the dark and the light. I can't comment on any taste difference since about three weeks had elapsed from that first one to when my order came in with...

    What size cigar is your favorite?

    A 6x52 Torpedo suits me just fine.
