Get mine in tuesday. Unfortunately I probably won't smoke one for awhile though. Going on a smoking hiatus for a few months. But gathering some good LE's to have something to look forward to when I go back to herfing. I like to let my cigars sit for awhile generally anyways. Patience,..........Patience,...............patience,....................

I only smoked the torp in the summerfest and wasn't very impressed with it except for the first third of it. I've been telling a lot of people if the cigar was just tweaked a bit and possibly put in a different size and shape this cigar could be amazing.
Does anybody have an opinion on the summerfest robusto. I never got to smoke one, we only had the torps available to us down here in Texas.

Glad to hear it! I've been wanting to light another one up myself...they've been resting for almost 2 weeks now...but they still feel too soft. I think I'll just be patient, rather than risk wasting one.

Right off the truck I thought the SFR's were one of the better cigars I had smoked. Lots of flavors. I smoked one WLP and wasn't impressed at all. Maybe the other I have sitting will be better?

Thanks to a generous BOTL (Clint) for setting me up with a 5er of these!
Here are the notes I put in my spreadsheet:
Tons of smoke! Burn was slightly uneven, very easy draw, ashed at about 1", ash was unevenly colored… seemed a bit young, slight bit of bitterness but not overpoweringly so… maybe just a bit of time. Very woody cigar, with a strong blend of spices… some sweeter notes on the pepper spectrum like yellow and orange peppers. Somewhat of a medium body.

Just a follow up on this... I posted my first comment at about the 1/3rd to halfway mark... it has improved pretty noticeably as the 2/3rd mark approaches. Pepper picked up a bit, but then joined by a noticeable bit of caramel and graham cracker. The flavor isn't overpowering... kind of like medium in body and medium in flavor. Easily an after lunch or nearly-empty stomach cigar.
I'm thinking this needs some time, but not much. Maybe this is why people are calling them "wet"? Might let them sit a couple months and revisit.

I'm not a big nc smoker anymore but I smoked one of these, and I have to say, these are pretty good. I smoked it till my fingers were burning.
I lit one up last night on 16 days rest. Really thinking the one I smoked after a days rest was a bad stick, because this stick was MUCH, much better. I could really taste the SF flavor profile in it, though still somewhat muted. I can't wait to smoke these again at 6 months and a year. Should be excellent with a little more time on them. I'm once again left wondering if I was a little too generous with & didn't hold onto enough for myself haha...
