I just kinda bought a sampler of these on a whim. Never heard any kinda discussion on them, and I was wondering if anyone has tried them and what they thought.

    Two of these came in my latest order, I've got one earmarked for my weekly this weekend...so I'll be able to give you a review then if no one else chimes in.

    I've had a few. They are fairly mild (probably a medium body) with very nice wood(oak, cedar) hints. These are probably one of my top three sunday morning back deck with the newspaper cigars.

    Okay, had one last night, a Churchill - I pretty much concur with madurofan on every point. The are, however, some additional, very subtle flavors I have trouble quite putting my finger on that come in at about the halfway point. Also, a bit into the last third, a peanut-shell flavor starts to appear, and strengthens towards the end. Sort of like if you bite open the shell of a peanut rather than using your fingers - very much like that.

    But you didn't say if you liked it?

    lol, it appears I did, in fact, leave it out. I thought it was really solid, generally. It was much milder than I was expecting, but good nonetheless. I haven't yet had a Sol Cubano I haven't liked - I only have the Serie B and the Artisan left to try (also the Sumatra, but I can't seem to find that anyware). As with all the Sol Cubano blends, I feel they're notible not so much for an unusual flavor profile or some unique quality, but for a lack of any appreciable faults. The one exception is the Connecticut - I noticed notes of cardamom, which I've only ever tasted elseware in the Edge Maduro.

    Hey thanks for all the input. Im really stoked to try this one... maybe on the golf course with my little bro.

    You know, I think this stick would take to infusion very well - some sort of dry spice aroma. Cardamom perhaps, or clove.

    Dang, seems like it wasn't that long ago that you broke 1k. I'm still 200 posts away from that mark.
