I've already gone through a five pack of toros...ok, I gave two away, but the other three I reduced to ash all by myself. I think it's awesome, even OTT. I got a lot of dense, chewy flavor in mine and found it to be moderately complex. As I said, I'm impressed with San Miguel and it's one of my top releases of 2010.
yup my email is working. haven't had anything from you since 10/1, then all the fun with the giants started so I figured we reconnect after the giants kick ass.
Smoking one as I write this, Description on this cigar is medium to full, IMHO it is in the lower level of full. Burns very fast but not under rolled, A good stick in the evening after a hardy meal and a cup of strong coffee. Construction on my stick is OK, not a strong ash that builds up as the cigar is smoked. plumes of smoke with every draw and burns even. I would add in my humidor if the price is right.
glad this thread popped up I was wondering if anyone had tried these yet. Might have to look into that Christmas sampler with this and the Ave Maria in it, been dying to try both
Check out the weekend blitz. It has the San Miguel and the Ave Maria in it. Also has some of the Diesel Unlimiteds too, can't go wrong with this one. IMO

Ahhhh, gotcha. You may want to try to see if anyone would do a split with you. That happens a lot around here. You get to try out something new and the costs get shared between two or more BOTL.
So, I just lit up my first San Miguel. It was pretty decent on the light, but after my third draw the wrapper split all the way up to the band. This was one of the two I received yesterday, so that most likely had something to do with it. Actually, not that I look closer at the cigar, the binder is split as well. I'm not sure how it happened and I have never seen this before. I am pretty upset as I knew I was in for a treat having smelled the aromas while toasting, and the first couple draws were pretty great. Hopefully my next one doesn't do the same and I can actually enjoy it this time.
So I finally smoked one of the torpedoes I'd squirreled away for four weeks and was enjoying it, especially as I got into the second third. ..when I noticed that it was starting to spit at me. I don't know if it was because it had been under the humidifier or if it was just not aged long enough to dry at the factory but I'm going to wait a year on the other in my humi.
i tried one in the Torpedo in one of the samplers I picked up. I was not a huge fan of the first one i had. I'm not negative towards them just didn't make a very big impression on me. Maybe the second one I have will change that.
