I can't wait for them to find a bit more of the wrapper left over for the Partagas 170's in 10 years!
:laugh:
Figger by the 200th Anniversary, that Cammy wrapper will have smoothed out nicely.
That is unless, they really pick up with age, which is what the shop owner said was true of the 150s after they were released.
It's all subjective, but I think your B&M guy was trying to sell you a few 160's to age for awhile in the hope that when you finally smoke them, you won't remember what he said. In my experience, the 150's started out ok, and stayed that way. Haven't had one in quite awhile, but I'm guessing they're getting pretty thin and boring by now.
Again, subjective, but for anyone who's looking for Cameroon flavor, I think the Fuentes have it pretty well wrapped up. :whistling:
-The smaller ring guage Don Carlos (particularly the Lancero, although it's not readily available) are loaded with sweet spice.
-The Hemis are all excellent.
-I smoked my first Cuesta Rey #9 Stanford's Cameroon Reserve recently. It was worlds better then any of the 150's I've ever smoked. And cheaper, I believe.
-858's are, IMO, one of the best "everyday" smokes out there
