The price isn't bad compared to other GoF / Fuente stuff. I haven't heard of these untill now, but i'm def going to try some of these.

Did you smoke one?

Yeah, it would be good to read your thoughts on these.

 

[terrantheman]

I've had one and I didn't think much of it... it's a very mild smoke I thought.

Did you smoke one?

I have a few coming, but most of the early reports are that it is VERY mild, with not a whole bunch of flavor...

My buddy smoked one last night and wasn't very impressed at all. There was a large vein running the length of the stick effecting the draw, and he said there was hardly any flavor at all.

The Angelenos cigar has been highly anticipated this year because it is made by the The Fuente's in the Dominican Republic. Only 2 sizes are being released this Christmas season, the Lonsdale and Toro. In the spring of 2010 two more sizes will be offered, the Double Robusto and Gran Toro. The blend was devised by Carlos Fuente Sr. The result is a beautiful Equadorian wrapped cigar with balance and finesse. Very limited production of only 5,000 cigars per size.

"Made with Ecuadorian wrappers and Dominican fillers and binder"

 

[Zen Cigar Man]

Got a few, we'll see!

 

[terrantheman]

That's the part that confuses me is the wrapper... It definitely looks like conn. shade but the ecuador wrappers I've had are much more flavorful.

It could be an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut seed wrapper....
