Has anyone here tried this Common Roots offer?

    Cigar.com spammed me an offer for a box of Common Roots. Charles across the street is looking for something better than his Quorums, but that doesn't break the bank. I'd like to take care of him.

    Definitely has to be better than Quorums...

    Well, duh!

    I gave him a fistful of premium goodness for Christmas, and another fistful just the other day when he cleared my sidewalks... but he is still a beginner. I turned him on to smokes last summer. Does not like strong. He likes my milder Uppowoc Perfectos. Bought himself his first humidor for Christmas, cause I forgot all he had for a humi was a small cigar box, so when I handed him a dozen too long for the cigar box Christmas, he had to score something they would fit in. Then he filled it with Quorums while he was there, cause he figured they were cheap first humi fodder. 

    Thought a box of these for forty five might hit the nail. He takes care of our yard. I hate to mow. Hate it. Sets my nape on edge. Find it morally repugnant; like binding a China girl's feet. Prefer tall grass and wildflowers. Had my druthers, I buy a couple goats each spring and let them do the mowing, then eat 'em in the fall.

    So. Anyways. Anyone tried them Common Roots? Sound mild enough for a beginner.

    They are VERY interesting.. Patrick matched some leaf to make a unique cigar here. I waited three weeks before my first and was pleasantly surprised to find it a solid medium body smoke with something (to me) very different. I waited another two weeks and tried a second.. and then just today a third... My biggest impression.. they're CREAMY! (Go figure). 15 years and countless cigars of all type and brands and this is my first CREAMY! I LIKE it! :-) 
    I've been smoking the torps (my preferred shape and size). The first were ever so slightly tight on the draw but after 5-6 weeks in my 'dor have opened up to a great easy draw with volumes of smoke. Just the way I like 'em. Slightly spicy / peppery for the first three or four puffs and then.. creamy!  They've picked up a little cedar from aging 'out of cello'. (I strip ALL my 'gars naked...) 
    I'm not one of those 'I detected the essence of lavender from the breast of a virgin goddess' kinda guy.. this is just a good, enjoyable, cigar with a great draw, even burn, and volumes of sweet smoke.  And freakin' creamy!
    I highly recommend you try the sampler and let them rest a little. And then enjoy. I'll be ordering more! ( I hear a rumor there's an oscuro in the future.. I'll be ALL OVER those! :-) )
