god of fire carlito 2006 churchill...overrated and overpriced.

[SmokeProper]

I'm almost done smoking this cigar now, IMO overrated and overpriced. It's probably the worst cigar I've smoke with a price tag of over $15. To each his own right? This one isn't for me.
I was excited to try this cigar, and got a great deal on several premiums from a brother here(thanks!!!), but this cigar was not good enough for the normal price. I wouldn't even pay over $4 for this cigar. One dimensional, bland and dull.

That's my take anyway.

Wow, that sucks to hear. I've had some really good Carlito GOF, I do prefer the Cameroon wrapper to the Don Carlos' Ecuadorian. What was the year on it.

 

[SmokeProper]

2006.
Glad I didn't have to pay $20+

 

[strife]

Surprised, I'm going to smoke one tonight since you've got thinking about it. Yeah 2006, if I paid attention I would have seen that in the title.

Hope mine smokes better.

 

[SmokeProper]

Haha no worries.
Ya, let us know how it is. Hope you enjoy it!

Wow! I was actually on the total other side with that stick. the robu is even in my top 5 favorites of all time. I guess different smoke for different folks...sorry it treated ya wrong! Especially at that tag! Try the robu if u ever get the chance...would love to hear if ya liked that one better or not!

 

[strife]

Damn, all I've got left is a 2000 Don Carlos robusto. It'll have to do.

 

[SmokeProper]

Lol, right on.

I do have a 2005 rob. I'll try it another day and hope it's better.

a borrowed quote from another brotha......"sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"
Thanks for the review!

I tend to think that sometimes you get bad tasting tobacco leaves in cigars. Tobacco is grown like fruit. Sometimes you just get a bad tasting orange or apple. Same with tobacco. Try one from a different box. Just my two cents.

 

[strife]

Lol, right on.

:disappoin Pitched it at the halfway mark. I guess some cigars can't deal with age. T52 time.

Ah bummer man!!!

I had a GOF 2006 Don Carlos a month ago and thought it was good but not great.

T52...Always a good decision!

After smoking mostly CC's and Nic tobacco almost all Dominican tobacco seems flat/one dimensional to me. There was a time I loved Dom tobacco but that time has passed for now, maybe it will return someday.

I totaly agree on this cigar being way over priced. There are alot of great smokes for a hell of a lot less I'd smoke first. That being said I did enjoy the GOF I had very much but just couldn't see how it warrents it's price tag.
