I had one last night. It had a very loose draw and tasted grassy. I had to toss it after about an inch it was so bad. I wasn't impressed at all but the way you all speak of them I'll give it another chance.
I got one in a 5 Vegas sampler that was really quite a nice smoke. I'd definately recommend giving it another try.

Watching Eli smoke Robs cigars
iminaguagmireI smoke them pretty often and have never had one be bad. PM me your address and I'll send you a couple so you can try them again. I have had one or two burn poorly though. But I think that has more to do with my up and down piece of crap humidors than the cigars. My wife is getting me this for fathers day so that problem will be solved!

I've smoked one I was gifted. I liked it enough to want to give it another try, but I don't know if I'd buy them or not.
I like them enough I guess to buy a few to have on hand. I won't say that they are a regular in my humidor however.
The one thing I've learned in the short time I've been into this "hobby", is to never judge a cigar after smoking just one. I'll give each smoke at least a second chance before deciding if its a keeper or not.
Wow, you've got a great wife there, elidog, that is one nice looking humidor. It beats the crap out of new tie :wink:

With Women almost the same rule - but try them 3 or 4 times!
& if you find one good one trade her in for 2 bad ones! :wink:
Eli, I have more to try so that's not necessary but thank you for the offer.
I never write a cigar off after just one and the ones I have I'm starting to go back to now that my palate is a little more refined. For instance, I never really liked the Brazilias before and now I have them all the time.
As for the Limitada, I probably should have explained that it was a bad roll which was very obvious by the gaps in the filler at the cap. I didn't really mean that the taste was bad in fact it was developing into a smoother more mellow taste when I tossed it. It was just near impossible to smoke because of the draw.

Last night I had a Gurkha Ancient Warrior, and that was a very, very nice smoke. If they didn't cost so much, I'd have one every day. Perfect draw, smooth and silky, sweet start and fantastic finish.
Currently I'm enjoying a Flor Dominica churchill. Enjoying it a lot, in fact.

Vegas smokes
I had a 5 Vegas gold at the track yesterday. I thought it to be a very good smoke. Great taste all the way through and finished very nice. I hated when it was done. I had a couple tell me what a great smelling cigar it was when I sparked it up. Never had anyone tell me that before.
