Decided to try the Maduro since I ordered a tin of the cigarillos. At first it was a bit harsh but rounded out and mellowed fairly quickly. However it refuses to stay lit and it’s been kept at 65% for 2 months or so.

Wednesday Night, late. Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone Chuchy. Long burning Habano that needed Zero touching up or relighting.
Good as it was, I'm looking forewards to a little more variety. Expecting a small order in any time now.

First, let me tell you all how much I appreciated receiving this cigar. I had an order canceled from over selling and Mrs. Gunner stopped in a shop that had them, but was sent home with a wise man maduro because they sold out.

Ever since I laid eyes on this cigar, I was in love. Foundation makes (imo) great cigars. The beautiful San Andres maduro wrapper. A light box press with that pigtail. And that band - one of the coolest ever!

Tony is kind enough to send me one before HE has even tried one!

And guess what? I didn't like it. I hope I don't sound like an ungrateful a-hole. But I know I would rather hear the truth from you guys, so I hope you see it the same way.

The taste of this cigar was a musty/ashy flavor. Not barnyard, but wet, campfire ash. The taste just stuck to my mouth.

I HAVE to think that something was off with this single stick. I'd still try another and hope Tony has one soon so we hear his thoughts.

Hope I didnt offend.

Nothing better than getting a free single of a seemingly intriguing cigar that you find you don't like.
Saves you the mistake of buying a 5 pack :D :D ...or worse :o

Yes, definitely would rather hear your thoughts on it. I bought it at the shop and sent it right out and I only grabbed the one but now I'm definitely going to have to go grab one to try myself. (Lol - here, tell me if this milk is bad) I like their sticks as well and figured that would be no different.

So now I owe you a replacement stick as well as @Regiampiero ! He had that similar camp fire note but that Fausto wasn't bought at that shop and was in my wino for months, which this one never went in. Maybe I need to stop having a camp fire in my office while packing up sticks !!


I'm headed to Kentucky this weekend so no where to smoke and I'm not standing out in the cold (I'm spoiled being able to smoke inside) so nada for me today

There was a non Cuban Magicos that was quite nice, not a long cigar, and I cant recall the ring gauge...more importantly cannot remember the brand name...NYTONY...surely would know that Heck TONY is the man with the real skinny on the short smokes. My fav non cubn short cigar was the San Cristobal Del Sol by Pepin Garcia, but they are long gone now. A Fuente Hemingway Short Story...good but too $$ for me. There are a few Cubans, Vegueros. Quinteros and the Romeo y Julieta En Cedros , H. Upmann. That might fit the bill. However not all available in small pkgs.
Sorry, not a helluva lot of help here. Maybe if I luck out and can more than a single brain cell to light up might come up with a better answer.

Out in the garage, awaiting the forecasted winter storm/freezing rain. Kids already have school canceled for tomorrow. Wishing I could have a work “Snowday”.
