I like the Connecticut and the Grand Reserve. I don't like the Regent, Vintage, or Genghis Khan. But that's just me.

there are always deals on them because i think the retailers know they are WAY overpriced and are always offering deals on them to move them off the shelf. they are overhyped imho, but a decent smoke if you can get them cheap enough.

I was wondering about that...because I do not know a lot about the lines. I just know that my B&M only carries one line (I think it is the grand reserve...glass tube with wax seal) and they want $20 a smoke. Seems pricey with the deals that you see. Plus like I said...I am not too familiar with the line and only spend that much on something that I have a good idea that I am going to like. Has anyone tried this smoke? Do you think it is worth the price tag?

Ancient Warrior, Centurion XXX, Black Dragon, and Legend perfectos are all good smokes. Many of them are not that great. and exploding gurkahs are not that far between, just wait and it'll happen.

i agree...One of my favs are the Genghis kahn...cant really get them anymore...they are very limited (or so they say)...The vintage (shaggys) are pretty good too, but they have a tendency to produce a new line every 13.5 minutes...kind of like Rocky P!

I see you're still trying to get rid of em! I've still got a few of the ones you sent, I'm going to let them age and see what happens.

Also, I've got three of the platinum reserves (the ones made withe the triple-infusion of Louis XIII) one of which I'm hoping to break open soon. I'll let y;all know how it is...

I think that there is to much flash with their product weather it be a cool box or a tube or a huge band. I try to stay away from them as much as possible. I have tried a few but only one has caught my eye, the Master select perfecto. But that is just my opinion.

Something about a really fancy band or box that just makes me want to stay away. Its almost like look at me, I might not taste good, but I sure look pretty...

See most of Pete's lines, the cigar speaks for itself without the fancy band.

I've smoked a few, but never got to big into them. I only have one right now. The Crest. One of the guys at CI traded it to me. He told me it had an msrp of $40 & it was a great smoke. I've never even seen it on the shelf. Does anyone know anything about this one?
