It's a really good stick. I like it more than the regular line. I've only had the El Martillo size, but I've had about a half dozen of them. They require a little more TLC than other sticks for the most part, but they're worth it. I wish JdN would wrap them in cello. I've had more than a few already with chips and cracks, and that part is getting old.

I love the regular line. Will have to give these a go. Nice review.

Yeah, I do too. I meant it as a compliment to both, but I don't know if that's how it came off.

The original line was one of my favorite smokes for years. I could swear I remember getting them for like $5-6 bucks per stick, as I remember thinking of it as the best bang-for-the buck cigar on the market. I've only smoked one of the Dark Corojo. That thing is PO-TENT. I'd put it right up there with the Cain F any day of the week.

The potency of this cigar did remind me a lot of a Cain F but I felt the JDN had more flavorwise going for it Cain F seemed like a 1-trick pony

I gave one to a friend to smoke with me tonight. I definitely had to steal a few puffs off of his - what an awesome stick. I'd have to say my favorite stick in the $5 range without question. Well, at least that's what The Beard got them to me for a couple months ago. Definitely on the list of sticks to rebuy - almost out!

They may have gone up. I believe I was quoted $7 each by The Beard for the El Martillo. Still worth it at that price for me though. Other sizes may be cheaper too.

yeah, but not as good if you ask me. The torpedo comes close but falls just shy of the mark...imo anyway.

I see the El Martillo's are on back order. Have to try to get a fiver of these when they become available.

Personally, I have to agree with Kuz and say the Peligroso is my favorite size. He mentioned this in another thread, but I've had the El Martillo and the Peligroso and the small size just seems so flavor packed! These are also on back order, but one I'd love to get a box of at sometime.

I think these things are absolutely phenomenal! From the very first scent off the light to the last finger-burning puff I was loving it! I absolutely recommend these to anyone who loves a rich thick smoke with TONS of body. As for the regular Antano line though, I can't say I am awe-struck. They are a decent smoke for sure, but there is just something about them that doesn't quite do it for me.

I really want to try the peligroso, so far the el martillo has been the best for me, but if another one has even more flavor them I'm all over it.
