Gran Habano Vintage twenty-ought-two
These have been resting a while. They're getting dang good
There's nothing like a $3 cigar that smokes like an $8 cigar

Agree. Personally. I have been smoking the torpedoes.

Friday I received my order from CI and hastily opened all of the packages and dumped them into my tuppador not realizing instead of the pack of 5 boxes of Nat Sherman Point Five Maduros were instead the Metropolitan cigarillos. So I checked my order and saw I didn’t mistakenly order the wrong thing. I then looked up the Metropolitans and saw they were still a Maduro and medium strength. So I pulled a smoke and headed to the garage with my phone to call about it and see if maybe I’d be happy enough with what I was sent instead, which I wasn’t. A very mild almost flavorless smoke (for the first half). But the woman I was talking with argued with me that these were indeed the Point Fives I ordered despite me explaining that I’m rather familiar with the Point Fives. Fortunately I was disconnected and had to call back and spoke with Natalie who was both nice and more diligent as she not just looked at the shipping order, but my actual online order where it clearly states I wanted the Point Fives. So I will be getting the proper smokes shortly along with a return shipping slip.



For a Maduro this sure seemed lacking in the first half but built up character abruptly around the halfway point and became pleasant.

I've tried and liked the Maduro (brown container) too. Enjoy, when you finally get 'em in.

Enjoyed another Flor De Las Antillas Robusto Monday, so much for letting them rest.

IMO they're nothing special right out of the chute but they get pretty good with a couple years on them.
Is that your experience with them as well?

Holts has Robustos for only $2.50 Might need to think about another bundle...

I would say, yes, that is the case. In fact, I have a fiver now that's been lying around for I think three years or so. When I had my home, though better than the average yard 'gar, I found it a good smoke for doing stuff outside as it is built tough, leathery and can get pretty juicy. Can say the same for the Latitude Zero. Now, upon your mention, I'm itching to take one out while on a "dog walk". Or at the driving range, maybe. We'll see. Thanks.

Good thing those don't really need to rest. One of the few sticks that smokes amazing rott.

Almost regretting it already, a little too cold out tonight but I'll sure give it as much attention as I can.
