LHO III question

[krulos]

Does anyone know what blend these are? I just got a bundle of coronas in, and the closest thing they look like is maybe Vegas Cubanas or Cuban Classic. Thanks!

Little Havana Overruns III

Here is another award-winning closeout from the #1 cigar-maker in Miami! We all know who that is... Handcrafted with precision in the heart of Little Havana, this batch of Little Havana Overruns is nothing short of epic. Sumptuous, buttery-brown Nicaraguan wrappers encase a bold, yet elegant blend of high-grade, well-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The strength is medium to full-bodied and the flavors are rich and complex boasting luscious notes of earth, cedar, spices and a blast of cocoa. The bottom line is these cigars are a magnificent value. With prices starting south of $1.90 per cigar, this deal is the ultimate SCHIP-Buster! Let the frenzy begin!


Country of Origin: USA
Strength: Medium to Full
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan

I tried one last night. MUCH stronger than I expected. I don't think it's the Vegas Cubanas or the Cuban Classic, unless the corona blend differs greatly from the robusto. IMO the LHO III was spicier and more complex than those two, and it burned for just over an hour. These were definitely a steal at $37.95/bundle of 20. None of them appear to have construction problems, and the draw was perfect. The only difference I noticed was the caps looked a little uneven on some. I give it a 90. Highly recommended for fans of DPG!

I smoke the shit outta these. The wrapper is very brittle so be careful with them. It takes about 6 weeks after I get them in before they are in perfect smoking shape. They tend to ship a little soggy.
