I was able to score a dozen about 2 years ago and I thought they were nice. I gifted a fair amount of them away. I smoked one about a year ago and they were still O.K. Smoke then up. Time did not do these cigars any favors.
But what do you expect for a $5 cigar.
For what they are, I think it is tough to beat. The filler is comprised of tobacco from San Cristobal, LADC, and My Father. They are nothing out of this world but are nice little yard 'gars.
They are very tasty but on the mild side. Nice creamy smoke though. The GIGs were sold at DC lounges at first. Then they extended them to retailers. 700 boxes made and the filler has some of the same tobacco used in the Stanfords. At $16, not so nice. At, $10-$11, a wonderful treat that will...
I have been ODing on the 858 SG and the Classic SG as of late.
Toss in a few Brick House Corona Larga and some Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sun Grown No.60 and that's what I've been smoking.
Tatuajes are nice but they are too inconsistent. Loose draws have been the norm lately(a box of 2009 Cojonus).
I will say you can not go wrong with any Illusiones. They are good. But I'll share a secret with you. Try a Cruzado. The best cigar Dion makes is the Dantes. This is a bold statement...
The texture of the wrappers are very different. The sun grown wrapper is very course in comparison and the veins are thicker(for lack of a better word). Judging only by the color of the leaf would be very difficult.
Nice review!!
These are truly a wonderful smoke. Both Hemingways and the 858 are knockout smokes. I think two more boxes of each will enough considering I can't keep my hands off them!!!
Get the f@*# out of here. I've smoked a hand full of RASS before, the majority of them 2008 and younger, and I hated every single one. Bitter, unbalanced and tasted like ass!! I am shocked!!! Definitely a B+/A- smoke.
About two weeks ago, Clint sent me an unbanded fiver so I decided to start off with cigar #1 for the required review. There will be four more reviews to come....
OK. This cigar is roughly 5"x50 and its a beauty. It has a gorgeous golden colorado wrapper with 2-3 veins running up and down the...
I did send the source an apology via PM. The person who PMed was not the source but someone who has spoken with the source.
I feel as though these sticks do originate from where they are eluded to.
I got my answer via PM from someone that I feel is an honest, reliable person. I am not expecting the "certain person" to hop right in and say, "Hey, this is how I do it and this is the farm and...."
I wanted to know the area of whatever country the tobacco comes from and if anyone else had...
Clarity, dude. That's what my intent was. I should have got in contact with the person directly. It was poor judgment to post a thread. I f'ed up there. I apologize.
It doesn't seem anyone knows the answer to my question. I figured someone might have PMed with an answer. Or not.
Multiple guys. Like 6-8. On 3 different occasions. There has always been a shroud of mystery surrounding these cigars. I have PMed multiple people over the last 2 years, no one knows. Wouldn't you want to know what you are buying? Just seems that no one knows(or they can just keep a secret). If...
Too bad you can not ask Lou himself. That guy disappeared like a fart in the wind. Did anyone know what happened to him or heard from him after the debacle? That was close to 2 years ago.
Greg, you must has been feeling slightly reminiscent of Mr. Tam while smoking it. ;)
