i have been meaning to try them. every time i go to buy from c.com i forget about them...you think it is worth buying a bundle? I have room ample room just not ample cash!
My brother in law gave me one a few months ago. I lit it up and never had so much smoke from a cigar. The thing was awesome. Then he tells me how cheap they are. I would have paid much more. All around great cigars and excellent prices. Look for the Azteca coming out soon. It is their maduro and I can't wait to try it.
At that price point these little guys are really tempting me...
Lately I've been trying to find a mild-med smoke to stock up on but I find myself to always just be buying more fuller bodied sticks. When will I learn!
I just ordered my 4th bundle of these, was reluctant due to the low price, but thought: "hey, they didn't dress these up this well not expecting them to be good", turned out to be outstanding! I have kind of wondered why no one else was commenting on them, I'm thinking from the write-ups that there may be a limited supply, so I've been ordering a bundle whenever a daily-deal that I can't pass up comes along. Very very nice cigars, tried the 3 Siglos, also pretty impressive.

Oh boy...Never had the 2002, but keep the Corojo around. That's a pretty good smoke (IMHO) and also a good price point. If these Aztecas are similar price, I'll give them a run.
Last summer I asked about "the best $2 stick", and the GH 2002 got glowing reviews from several botl here - so I bought a mazo
They are pretty good rott, but do much better at 3 months.
After 6 months, they are one of the best $2 cigars you'll find (often even less!), not overly complex at all, but as noted by the op, nice chocolaty flavor with hints of coffee now and again.
Tons of smoke, and when aged a bit, very smooth and rich smoke that you literally can't feel on retrohale.
I always keep at least 30 on hand.
Sometimes I have a hard time deciding what to smoke - guess what? - GH 2002 time!
I can never get these to burn worth a damn, even with dry boxing.
All from the same mazo?
Or just in general, from several different batches?
They do benefit from a dry box visit, and I have had a few that didn't burn well - and all of those were a bit soft to the feel (spongy, but not necessarily too wet - just poorly rolled I suppose)
I've only tried the robustos. Some of them I can retrohale on the whole mouthful, others have a bit of spice. Either way, this is one of those cigars I feel comfortable handing out to newbies knowing that they won't die from or get bored by it.
That reminds me, I think I have less than 5 remaining! I've found that they are pretty damn cheap on the sprint!

Do you have the robustos or churchills? The churchills are notoriously fire proof.
Robustos. I heard too many bad things about the Churchills to even give them a try, I have a hard enough time with the robustos. I've tried many times from many different batches. I really wanted to like this cigar but I just can't seem to get the wrapper to stay lit without tons of effort and endless touch-ups.
a little off topic but in my reading about this cigar the Brocatus Churchill seems to get brought up a fair bit, are they as good as (or even similar to) the Gran Habano Vintage (2002)?

I have had one Brocatus......I won't be having another...... (made it barely to half way)
Not in the same league as the GH 2002.
