For those that have followed my quest to find a cheaper cigar that has Padron like taste- you have seen my reply to Alex that I ordered the Honduran Primeros from cigar.com. While waiting for the release of this cigar I ordered the Riata churchill 900- 7.50x50.I just smoked the first one at $ 1.00 each. A maduro that lasted 1 hour 10 minutes. Was not loose packed. Little pre taste. But when lit this turned into a champion. Lots of smoke. Good tobacco flavor- close to a padron. Some damp earth, some leather- medium strength- NO HARSH- NO AMONIA. Nice wrapper- not loose packed.
I was impressed. This is a nice cheap cigar.
Not a Padron but I can smoke these- often.
Any opinions?

The ash was in the range of 3/4 inch. Not sure if long or short filler.
