Sosa or Bahia Maduro?

[droy1958]

I got some of the regular Sosas in a 10 for $10 sampler, which also had Bueso Genesis, 5 Vegas A, Gurkha Regent, and HC maduro. I though the Bueso was best of the bunch, the Sosa and HC tied for second, then the Gurkha, then the 5 Vegas.

I bought a couple of those samplers. Wish I would've bought more for the price. After I tried the Sosa, I bought a bundle...

This deal is advertised again on the back of the new cigar.com catalog, though it's 5 for $5.

I haven't received the new catalog yet. I checked the website and didn't see it....

The catalog gives a link, but it shows an American Label cigar in place.of the 5 Vegas A for some reason. On the catalog it's the 5 Vegas same as before.

Cigar.com 5 for $5 - Cigar.com

I've been meaning to ask around about the HC cigars...frequently see the Corojos in a 20 bundle for about $1.50 a piece. Have you tried that varietal?

I bought a box of the Genesis awhile back, the longer I let them rest the better they got.

I recently picked up a 5 pack of these. I've been resting them for about a month. How much longer would you suggest before they settle?

I think I smoked my first one after about 2-3 months and it was good right off the bat.

1 month helped, but I think it was the 3-4 month mark that I started thinking it was a pretty good stick. I've got 9 months on them now and they're still getting better.

Chico, when I first got into cigars ('13), I bought a CI sampler, "Uncle Stu's Mild Churchill Smack down". I know, right?! 5 each of Pioneer Valley CT, Torano Dominico, Bahia Blu, Arganese CT and Mark Twain #1. And I just listed those in order of my preference, least to most. The Blu was my first "Hey, this is NICE" sticks.
I know taste is subjective. I just had to give you crap. After all, I'm crazy enough to prefer Hondurans over almost everything else
