Sencillo

betasynn

Sencillo is a cigar made by Keith Park, the guy behind Prometheus Accessories and the God of Fire cigars. Big props to cholmes for turning me on to these, really good cigar. I got a few samples and smoked away, and I've never had a cigar with this long a finish, or this much leather flavor. Full review on the website, but I am very interested to hear from those of you who smoked it, since it was rather unique.

No, but sounds good. I'd like to get a couple of these. Honestly I think Prometheus is a very over hyped company. Sure I enjoy the GOF and Opus but they really push up prices on cigars.

True, though the Sencillo runs like 7 bucks.

Cholmes thinks that these puppies are super green.

Very well could be, regardless, it's a pretty decent smoke. I also got mine from the company, as a sample, without a date. They could be older then the ones carried in the B&M.

So I have had a few of these and I like them the more they rest. Anyone else smoke these recently?

I smoked 2 last week after they sat for about 2 months and they really do improve. They really are an enjoyable stick.

The double robusto's are great.

The first one I had the cherry fell off and nestled up against my *ahem* point man.
I was driving down the highway at the time. Not a fun experience.

Thanks Stephen! I needed a good laugh!

Smoked my first one last night. The first few draws were so heavy with leather I almost put it down. It mellowed out and was quite enjoyable. Easy draw, big smoke. Picked up leather at the end also. The flavor reminded me of a Cusano I tried a while back. Ok smoke. Pricey though.

Curious why you feel this way? Most of their cigars are modified versions of high end, often comparably priced Fuente cigars. Sencillos are much cheaper, but are made by Camacho, and use their tobacco. Also, a lot of the expensive Fuente made stuff pays, partially, into the CFCF. I don't disagree that maybe the God of Fire and Fuente Aged Selection stuff they put out might be expensive, but I think you get what you pay for. The rarest, oldest Fuente tobacco is also the most expensive Fuente tobacco. As for Prometheus products, like their lighters and cutters... they are high quality, luxury items, and frankly are pretty reasonably priced, when you look at the prices of higher end accessories, like those made by Davidoff, Elie Bleu, Dunhill, and S.T. Dupont.

I did at the time. Wish I had bought an extra to age and smoke now. I think the only extra I had I actually sent to beta. Since everything in my humi has over a year on it now since I havent made any purchases and smoked maybe five cigars in a year, they'd be prime now for a real review.
