Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight (5 3/4" X 54) Extra Dark Natural
according to: http://www.cigarworld.com/brands/excalibur...ur1066_size.cfm

I'm a noob to cigar smoking...I've been smoking for just about 6 months.

This is the first Hoyo de Monterrey that I've smoked. Had to say that I enjoyed this very much. It almost looks like a maduro. It burned unevenly, but it held together very good. Smoked 2/3 of the cigar...couldn't finish it, got too strong and light headed :blush:

The taste...it was pretty good. I must say that it was very smooth. Not as strong as I expected...looking at the wrapper made me think strong...but it wasn't.

Does anyone else think these are good smokes?
 
I picked up a little three pack of these a few months ago in San Diego...decent smoke..pretty hard to come by out here..I would smoke one again..bieng a Batman nut..I jumped all over them..wasn't disapointed at all..not a bad newbie smoke
 
I have one left from a sampler I got a while back. Smoked the first one while camping, and was pleasently suprised. Will probably get more in the future,

;) ?? Thought you said you couldn't finish it? But it wasn't strong? :whistling:

Just givin' you "tihs", noobie. Welcome. Now go to the LOBBY and indroduce yourself. Have fun in here...it's a great place to learn.

<EDIT> PS I just made myself sound like an FOG. I'm not.
 
Funny how the color of the wrapper doesn't fully indicate the robustness/strength of the cigar.

The cigar's flavor was spicy and leathery.
Very smooth....

Any other cigars that are similar?
 
There are several cigars with a dark coloured wrapper that are about the same strength...try a Partagas Black Label...probably about the same price...
