a little off topic but in my reading about this cigar the Brocatus Churchill seems to get brought up a fair bit, are they as good as (or even similar to) the Gran Habano Vintage (2002)?
I have had one Brocatus......I won't be having another...... (made it barely to half way)
Not in the same league as the GH 2002.
good to know, thanks!. i do need to get some more of the 2002's i smoked one but ended up rushing it, and i gave my second one to the DCCC.
Resurrecting an old topic, BUT the Other Main Online Store (not the one everyone hates) is offering Mazos of the Gran Habano Vintage '02 Corojo robusto for $40 inc. shipping.
I tried the GH SLS awhile ago and didn't like it--it had the "tastes like burning charcoal, dirt and newspaper" characteristic that's very common to the cigar brands I don't like (as opposed to the "tastes like chili pepper, and non-infused floral and sweetness" characteristics of the kinds of cigars (La Aroma, My Father, Padron, JoyDNic) that are my favorites.
Given my preferences, do you perceive a huge difference between the 2002 Vintage and the SL to make it worth the investment? I've heard so much about this that I'm tempted to try it.
I think the Vintage 2002 is their best cigar. But those wrappers can cause problems from time to time. I've bought several boxes over the years and I'd say that 15% of the sticks just failed miserably due to the inconsistency of the wrapper burn, as sweet as they are. The SLS, what he said.
