Well the second Stick was a La Perla Habana - 1515. If was Ok, good construction, good burn good, good ash quality, but flavor was only so so, nothing spectacular IMHO.

Not sure I would say go get some, I have a few more in my little stash. But will save them for friends who show up without their own to smokes. As I recall the same Stick in a Torpedo was much better flavor.

Or maybe give them more time and another go on another day. Strength is medium - strong.

Not to be a dick, but LA Perla's never get better, just put them in the mooch pile.

Even my brother, who I tried to get into cigars to get him from stopping smoking cigarettes, and would smoke my shittiest shit with a smile on his face couldn't handle these lol, again to each their own, but still so much better stuff out there.

Well I like to be easy with my comments because my Taste Buds are not like other people they are mine. I eat a lot of Hot & Spicy food, so there different. I had some of the La Perla Maduro with time they did get better. I buy a lot of stuff to test drive, so I know if I want more or not.

Like I said I am not standing in a line for more of the "1515".

Anaconda. First of the trilogy I've tried. Very good. I can see why @mpomario likes them. I do wonder how it compares to the other 2? Shed any light on that Mario? Just a quick and dirty comparison?
I like the AB because it is a good ratio of the rare tobacco because of its size. You get a more of its flavor. The FEC is good because it is a good mix with that rare tobacco and other Brazilian tobaccos. Less of the flavor but a good blend and the profile is a little different due to the fermentation process. The Anaconda is great because of the blend of the rare tobacco and the use of the Arapiraca wrapper.

Well I thought I would go price point today because it going to be a long day of Cigars, as tonight is my Cigar club meeting.

Well it is 50 degrees, wind is blowing, it is cool. But I am outside enjoying an Oliva Saison - First Harvest. No if you check the Olivia Web-site you will not find this Meduro gem.

It is something apparently Oliva makes for (STG) Scandivian Tabacco Group (Cigars International, Cigars Dot Com, and Cigar Bid).

The are well constructed, burn even, have good even ash quality, and last taste good with complexed flavors.

I would recommend this a a good value Cigar, not it is not a pricy $10.00 plus a stick B & M special. Just a good working man especially.

To me Cigars are like Wine, it is not the price per bottle, it is what you enjoy, and if it inexpensive. Well you can buy more sticks. LOL

It was a good discussion though. I'm glad to know, I had considered them.. There's too many good cheapies out there to waste money on bad ones.
