About a year ago, all I heard about were...

[MX]

the following cigars:

San Cristobal by Ashton

Coronado by LFD

El Centurion

Well It seems that that the hype as died down a bit. Are these still in your rotation, or were they a flash in the pan?

I have a maestro in my humidor. Have not had it yet. Kind of weeding out the really large RG cigars

I smoke the San Cristobal (picked up a box this past weekend) and Coronado quite frequently. The El Centurion is good, but pricey and definitely not my favorite Pepin.

I'm still enjoying thew San Cristobal, I think they are solid smokes.

I had a Coronado Lancero and wasn't impressed with it at all. I'd rather stick to the LFD LGD lines.

Haven't smoked a Centurion and considering he comes out with a new line every 3 days it gets alittle hard to catch up.

Have not tried the Coronado or the El Centurion. Bought a box of San Cristobal Clasicos and it was the most inconsistent box of cigars flavor wise I have ever bought. The cigars, construction, and presentation were excellent but flavor wise they were either awesome or really mediocre. What kept me away from the El Centurion were multiple reviews that said they tasted like "meat." ???

 

[Wurm]

San Cristobal by Ashton - love them, too expensive to be in my normal rotation but I pick one up every once in a while.

Coronado by LFD - love them, split boxes with Double D.

El Centurion - Ok cigar, out of the 5 I've smoked only one rocked my socks, not worth the price in my opinion.

Now let me add one

nub - not impressed with these, they did not live up to the hype at all.

The Coronado was never really in my rotation, but I did try a few of the vitolas. I was never really impressed at all with them.

The San Cristobal's were a huge hit with me this time last year, as I purchased two boxes of the Guajiros. They do get much better with age, I must say.

As for the El Centurion, it is very, very hit or miss! I've had some that were spot on, right when they were released, some that were horrific that I trashed, and some that were so-so as they rested. Pepin has much better to offer than this blend.

El Centurion are excellent cigars with a horribly expensive price tag. Coronado's are actually underrated, great smokes! San Cristobal's will always be a staple in my collection.

 

[MadMonk]

In my personal Experience, the El Centurion and the Coronado were Great cigars.

The Coronado seems to have faired much better than the El Centurion in the market, as a whole. I think it is one of the most unique and delicious cigars on the market. I do like them fairly young.

The El Centurion, to me, is quite a remarkable, but touchy smoke. It requires patience, and HAS to be sipped otherwise it can become nasty.
As mine have aged, they've only become more flavorful and consistent. The Robusto is in my top ten cigars, and for me, a classic.

I've been working my way through a box of Coronado Corona Especial's. Had one San Cristobal and didn't enjoy, although a single cigar is never a fair sampling. Never had the El Centurion.

I just received my box of 100 Nubs for being a finalist - how many do you want? Seriously, what I am going to do with 100 Nubs? I can't wait for the $9.00 Padilla Nub to come out.

The San Cristobal is still a hot cigar in store. The Coronados died down a bit, but it's a great smoke. I have to agree with Wurm, though. The NUB is the most overrated and disappointing cigar in recent memory. Anyone else feel this way?

 

[MoeCizlak]

Coronado is one of my favorites. I have a box of the Toros and have been smoking out of a box I got about a year ago. They are delicious every time I smoke one. The other two have been hit or miss as has been stated.

100 nubs? LOL sounds like a crap load (pun intended) of 5er bombs to me.

 

[PunchLibertad4Me]

I love the San Cristobal. I have gone through a box and still have no complaints. The Coronado never worked for me, too inconsistent. I've not tried the Centurion, I think I have one in a humi, I will have to check.

The Nub I tried was awful. My B&M just received seven or eight boxes (taking up valuable shelf space if you ask me). At the right price, I may try another if just for the novelty.

That would require 10 nubs per bomb.

Could be because they taste so bad no one can smoke one for longer.
