I am not too good on the discription thing, but it is a pretty smooth smoke with a very spicy flavor (not so earthy) they say a hint of cinnamon, ...well, I don't know about that, maybe in the first couple of puffs...but definitley spicy all the way through. Nice white ash that hangs on well. my .02
Would love to hear how someone more experienced would compair it

I think you did a fine job describing the smoke. I'm gonna look into getting a couple to try out. Thanks!Spider66 said:

I got paid today, yeah!
But I still don't have the money to buy smokes.
I'm bidding my time well though. The next purchase is gonna be sweet.

I measured it with a caliper, came out to .940 inches (without crushign the wrapper). I think 60 gauge is like .938 or so. I think I found what it is:

Hmmm. After checking, I guess they just recently introduced this size. I'll have to check these out, being the Rocky Patel whore I am... :lol:

Maria Guerrero toro
Perdomo 2 Cameroon robusto (I heard these were being discontinued)
Natural Blackout - not too bad, like the Root but not as sweet
Hemingway Classic - I've only had the maduro so I look forward to trying the Cameroon
About a half dozen Fuente seconds that were a buck each. Not bad at all for a dollar.
Cusano Corojo 1997 - After all the good words, I have to try them
I've also got a box of the Torano Exodus 1959 coming in.
It's time to get another humidor.

The LFD Factory Press is one out of a limited edition box of 120. It has 10 trays of 12 and retails for $1440.00. The lid is signed and numbered byt Litto Gomez. It is a 66 guage but is box pressed (hence Factory Press) into a 44 that is quite rectangular. Its the most beautiful cigar I've ever seen. God I wish I could afford that whole box... :lol:

Today I bought the 1 day sol cubano deal and i figured I would try a Cusano 18 double connecticut. I also bought a barber pole
I just bought the Cigar.com Friday special. 20 Sol Cubano for 34.95? Couldn't pass that up. Great cigar for an everyday consistant smoke. I'm a happy camper. :hypercolor:
