I think I've smoked a total of maybe 5 or 6. I've bought 1 and the rest have been from passes or bombs. Now the T52 on the other hand is a very nice cigar.

JdN Cabinetta - bought it at a Drew Estate event to round out a buy 5 get 2 free and didn't know what to expect at all. It turned out to be a really nice smoke! The shift from the Criollo to the CT Shade wrapper is nice!

I too prefer the T52 to the No. 9!
Excellent cigar.

HR By Cubanacan...Dark Natural expected a good smoke, but it was a helluva lot better'n that, one of the nicest cigars I've smoked in a good while.
Have smoked two of the four I picked up, looking forwards to the two I've left.

When I win the lottery I'll buy us both a box! I've only had one, but damn it was good.

There have been 3 cigars that have surprised the heck out of me because they were much better than I expected them to be. I'm not a Camacho guy but that American Barrel Aged is full of flavor and I always look forward to smoking them. Have also been surprised with D'Crossier 512 (at under $6 a stick this is a best buy for me) and Espinosa Laranja. The 512 is a delicious treat with a wonderful aroma and Laranja is bursting with flavors that I enjoy.

I agree. Not sure if it surprised me because I went into it with a positive impression. But it is still a great cigar.

Ive smoked a few Punchs over the yrs an they have always been great... but today I did my first Punch imported short.This was a surprisin change in flavor an smoke that I found myself indulging in...even the nub was enjoyable as a chew...

sorry! Duplicate.

El Titan de Bronze Redemption Sungrown.

Might be the only cigar where Ive only smoked one, then immediately ordered a box.
