Everytime I come to this forum, learn something new. I am really glad that you all share your knowledge here. You guys give me all the excuses I need to buy myself more cigars. Now I need a larger humidor. Like I said, you gave the excuses and I did the buying. One thing I got was this:
Majestic Maduro Super-Sampler includes 12 cigars:
4 - Graycliff 1666 Torpedo (6” x 52)
4 - Padilla Obsidian Belicoso (6” x 54)
4 - 5 Vegas Series ‘A’ Archetype (6” x 50) The price was right so I grabbed it. I do have a Vegas A and Graycliff in the humi but I was saving them and aging them, now I can smoke one and see what all the maduro fuss is about. I am stoked!
all this maduro talk .....wonder if the neighbors would think I had lost it if I were on the back deck ,temps in the 20's, burnin' one around midnight.....
Every now and then I'll read something that suggests AVOs are all really pricey, but that just hasn't been my experience. The Domaine, which is what I buy, is about $7-8 each, which is in the same range as loads of other cigars.
I agree.. I have always found AVO to be well worth the reasonable price of $7-8, and they are cheaper now than they were ten years ago when crap sold for ten bucks a stick..
Yeah, I remember when maduros used to cost that much back during the cigar boom of the 90's. I think part of the reason I still hear people say that a maduro cigar looks to be strong is because the cigar companies back then would rush the maduro process (to get the cigars to the market faster) and end up putting cigars on the market that weren't aged properly, and when that happens, the cigar has more nicotine/tar and which makes the smoke harsh.
The first Maduro cigar I had was a Macanduo Maduro. These cigars are flawless and great flavor, I also love how it has a nice oily sheen on the cigar in my humidor.
