Yeah I ordered a 5er and smoked one after about a week and immediately ordered another 5er except now they're backordered! :mad:

Good to know thank you. I may have to hit him up

I've said this on here before, but for me it's the Cuba Libre (original blend, although the "One" is damn good too). Got a few in a sampler a long while back and they bounced around in my humidor for months. I figured they were filler smokes in the sampler.

I finally smoked one and couldn't believe how good it was. Went to buy some more and learned that I can get 5-packs for $5-$7. I buy them regularly now. When I'm smoking them I often find myself smiling about how cheap they are.

Kicked around in the bottom of a drawer for several years. Delicate wrapper, but darned if it wasn't an excellent smoke!

When we got them into the shop I smoked one right away and felt the cigar was a massive let down. It lacked the flavor I was expecting a cigar as hyped up like that to have. It was more notes of it and not a full blast like I expected. I would rather smoke the perdomo 12th double aged.

I find it funny how taste is so subjective

Ditto that. Nice enough smoke but overall my reaction was: "this is what all the fuss is about?"

Yeah. My argument for the liga is 1 out of 5 is an amazing cigar. I need to smoke a few more of the barrel aged before I give my full verdict. I will say I think LP are a bit over hyped
