La Floridita Toro Maduro (Bundle)

Just got my package in with two bundles of torpedoes and two of Coronas. Smoked a Torp OTT and it wasn't bad at all...OTHER than some tough draw issues!!! I sincerely hope a few months in the humi helps loosen them up. Otherwise I have 4 bundles of crap.

I'm at a crossroads right now with bargain smokes......Like some, but many others turn out to be borderline dog rockets.

I'm nearing the point of buying ONLY the good stuff that has NEVER let me down; Padron mads, Sancho Panza Dbl Madoros, Carlos Torano 1916's, Exodus 1959's and my biggest bargain find so far...La Vieja Habana's. To name a few.

My cooledor is starting to burst with stuff I no longer care for.:hn

Smoking one of these right now, and I have a confession to make.



I like these more than Padron 000 Series maduros.

A few week in the humi DID help or my initial pick OTT was simply a plugged example. The corona's are a nice smoke for the money,especially at the 2 for 1 DEAL. The Sancho Panza Dbl Mads are still the better stick FOR MY TASTE but for others the LF's may be the winner.

Just had a few of the Torpedo's. The larger vitola added some different, more multi dimensional flavors than the smaller Coronas. I'll stick to the Sancho Panzas for a quick morning smoke. But the Torps may make it into my fishing/shooting/yardgar rotation.

I'm still enamored with the La Vieja Habana's from Drew Estate for an everyday cheapie. Te LF's certainly deserve a try by anyone looking for that elusive GREAT, CHEAP smoke.

My daughter just got married this weekend and I saved the 2 bundles of the mads that I had posted earlier about for the reception. These got passed out to cigar smokers and the non-smokers. Everyone that smoked them said they were great (what else were they going to tell the father of the bride?) :r

These really are a fine budget smoke. Thankfully I have a few left for me!!:chk
 
I'm ordering a bundle tonight of the maduros but I was wondering if anyone has tried the Limited Edition La Florditas.

I have. At twelve bucks for a fiver of Robustos, it's a good value smoke. One dimensional flavor, but definitely a good value.
 
How are these smoking for everyone? I'm just about done with my first bundle of the Toros from two months ago and most have been way too tight. Will they open up?

Try dryboxing fhem for a day or two before you smoke em. I have smoked about five from my bundle with no problems at all. My rh is usually 62-65%.:ss
 
They are definitely a good deal. I really enjoy the maduros. Too bad my humidor is filled to the max. Enjoy them, thanks for the review.:ss

Strength: Medium
Wrapper: Natural
Pkg Qty: 20 Cigars

will give my review when they arrive...
 
I picked up the 2 for 1 bundle deal on the maduro's back in May and these are a very good smoke regardless of price. The low price makes it even better. This is a great smoke for everyday or anyday.
 
Smokin' one right now. Love 'em. I've only ever smoked this size/wrapper. Gonna try to snag some natural wraps, and some maddies in other sizes.
 
I have ordered 2 bundles of the torpedoes over the past couple of years and I have to agree with most of the reviews here. The flavor is nice without being harsh or bitter. It's very earthy with some nice chocolate. I had kind of given up on these because of the burn issues I was having. But after reading these posts I may have to pick up another bundle. I'm going to be up in North Carolina in a month and I usually pay a visit to JR's while I'm there so we'll see how much room I have left after that.
