Sorry about the lack of posting over the summer. I let my tiny budget get overloaded with cigar buying and have not been able to pay the internet bill. At least I have had more BETTER flavor then ever before over the past four months. Some recent blends I sampled for the first time that are worth noting for one reason or another are,
GENESIS THE PROJECT ROBUSTO by Ramon Bueso (5" x 50) Rated '85'. A 'good' cigar. Nothing special or worth over paying for. Semi-tangy, medium darkie that will be a good $2per cigar at Cigar Bid. Not as good as, but closer to a Pinar del Rio Obsidian or EST.1844 Anejado.
LAS CABRILLAS DESOTO (6.88" x 50) Rated '92'. An excellent medium bodied Connecticut wrapped cigar. A must try for any smoker who enjoys this 'type' of smoke.
BAHIA BUNDLES SELECCION CONNECTICUT TORO (6" x 50) Rated '85'
BAHIA BUNDLES SELECCION HABANO TORO (6" x 50) Rated '85'
BAHIA BUNDLES SELECCION SUMATRA TORO (6" x 50) Rated '86'.
Ya, that is correct. Rated '85'. You will say " But they only cost a buck and a quater per stick." And I have to reply "SO!!!!" To say these 3 blends are the BEST $1.25per for each wrapper type is a VERY legit claim. The flavor on all 3 lines is so solid they are the first repeat buy I have had from C.I. for any blend. Stealing them for less at Cigar Bid ($19 for 20 Habano yesterday) is just TO GOOD.
CHAMUCO PLATINUM BELICOSO (6" x 54) Rated '42'. I sent C.I. several smoker feedback notes about this blend, the last declaring this blend will all the other 'good' $2per cigars you sell a bad rap. These are VERY BAD. Bland and even moldy. I would have returned the lot except I had already sent 10 ro my bud in Iowa. Even after being decellowed and airing out for 4 weeks they are bland, flavorless, and so unappealing I can honsetly say this is the WORST cigar I have smoked thus far on 2012. What is even more funny is at the Chamuco Cigars web site the very same box of 6"x54's I regret buying run $236.00. HA HA HA HA HA. SOOOOO BAD. UNREAL!

CHAMUCO MADURO CORONA (5.5" x 42) Rated '55'. 20 for $189 at the Chamuco.com site. This should be against the LAW. I shows me their are cigar makers out their will do and say anything to sucker a smoker into a one time buy. I would lay off if these ofthe Platinum were even just average, but they are simply horrible cigars. What I think I could have used that 40 bucks to buy, ah a box of Padilla Serie '68 Robusto's at CI for $39.99. Kick myself!
I will be back later today with more blends I have sampled recently.
