Ok, well, not to beat a dead horse with this one, but I just wanted to update everyone on my experience with Isabela Cigars. After reading through this thread, I contacted Isabela Cigars to inquire about their line and was promptly sent a nice sampler free of charge. This was a very nice gesture and was much appreciated. I have read some of the reviews mentioned in this thread and, after trying a few of the different sizes that were sent to me, can't really say that I liked them. The construction, and burn on these cigars is definitely quite nice, but the flavor just wasn't there. The cap is artificially sweetened, which I think was a huge part of the flavor issues, and led to a bad taste in my mouth. The only distinct flavor that I could place with these cigars is the aftertaste you get in your mouth after you've eaten a large amount of artificial sweetener(like sweet n low). My conclusion: I was very grateful for the opportunity to consider carrying Isabela cigars even though they got a bad reputation here on CP, but at the price point, I just can't imagine being able to sell them.
jp5150, judging by your response in other threads, I have gathered that you are the sales rep that contacted me via email. I just want to say I appreciate your generosity, and apologize if I have offended you.
