Most recently it was a 601 Green Label Oscuro "La Fuerza" what did it. :dr

In terms of flavor, body, and strength, how do these compare to the blue label?

I haven't bought a box yet either; but I already know what my first is gonna be: Padron 3000. Never had a bad one, always satisfies. Distinctive flavor, great construction and burn. I'm told they age well too. Add the fact that the price is ridiculously reasonable, and it's hard to beat as a...

I love the Tat Whites, they're mellow yet very flavorful. A really good cigar on any scale, tremendous-bang-for-the-buck.

CAO Brazillia - the wrapper has a distinct leathery flavor to me.

A reliably excellent smoke; I always keep a few as well. Nice review - glad you enjoyed it!

If I were out of work and had some time on my hands, I think every day, at least once, I'd stick my hand in the humi, with eyes closed, and smoke the first stick I yanked out. Surprise yourself, relax, and enjoy. Maybe take some notes and do some comparisons. You might even "rediscover" a great...

I agree 100% - and the 601 Green is one fine smoke. Reading this makes me want to smoke one of each of these right now! :dr

The CAO Brazillia is somewhat similar; it's an excellent smoke as well, and if you like the Partagas Black, you may like it too.

We've got a Halfway to Habana here in Greenville, on Main St.. Nice, well stocked humidor, lockers, smoking lounge, as well as an interesting variety of very nice smoking accessories and related items for sale (cigar store indians, hand carved rocking chairs, etc.). As for the Tiger paw, it's a...

I had a Don Pepin Blue Generosos tonight. I've smoked these before with no problem, but tonight for some reason it kicked my ass. I guess the Crown & Coke I was drinking finally kicked in because I felt better in about 45 minutes, but I was pretty queasy and shaky for a while. Sometimes it just...

Well . . . I caved and did just that with one of the LTC Torps. It was a beautiful smoke - perfect burn and draw, no problems at all. If these get any better with time, I don't know if I'll be able to stand it! :dr

I keep a large paper clip with my smoking tools just for that purpose. A couple of careful pokes and the draw problems are fixed. It only takes a few seconds, and the flavor of these makes it worth it to me. I have to do it with about 2 out of every 10 of these.

They're one of my favorites, and aside from an occasional tight draw, they are very consistent, especially flavor wise.

I just got a 5-pack each of the La Tradicion Torpedo and a Sabor Cubano Corona Gorda. I know it is typically suggested that I let them rest in the humi for at least a few days (if not weeks) before smoking. These are shipped in a very nice "Humi-Pouch". I don't want to waste one fighting a poor...
