Thoughts on Gran Habano 3 Siglos?

[WMGF]

A smoked one of these last night and I thought it was great. The flavor itself was awesome and it lasted a really long time (2 hours or so smoking at a regular pace). I wish these burned a little better though, had to touch it up quite often.

Has anyone had the robusto or gran robusto?

That's good to hear. I ordered the 20ct mazo of robustos this morning from CI.
I guess they cannot use the 3 Siglo name any more so they are dumping the inventory really cheap.

I like the 3siglo but have had major problems with burn issues and plugged cigars. Seems like every other stick I bought had a very bad draw and/or terrible burn issues. The sticks that have draw problems also have very little to no flavor.

I really liked the flavor of these. Picked up 25 last time I was at the CI store in Bethlehem

The draw on mine was a little difficult but not that big of a deal after awhile. For some reason it seemed really hard to keep the wrapper burning Maybe I'll try putting these in a dry box for awhile before I smoke them. You can't punch a torpedo but maybe a punch would work better on the robustos.

Thanks for reminding me, only have a couple left in the humi. Got to order more. Great smoke for a great price.

I have yet to have one but will be smoking the ONE I do have tonight. It will be the judge of whether or not I buy these... seems like an awesome deal:

I have a lot of experience with Gran Habano cigars.

Their wrappers in the last 12 months have been less than stellar. They require dryboxing & if possible, a little extra time in the humi. If you're getting plugged GHs, there's a problem. I KNOW FOR A FACT they have strict drawtesting regulations, including the fact that they test EVERY cigar. The most likely possibility is that the cigars are too wet if drawing poorly. The "burn proof" wrappers and wet conditions can result in an unfortunate smoking experience.
