est 1844

Jack Straw

I got these because they were staff favorites and they are harsh and bitter sticks not worth it at any price. Very disillusioned...

I'm sad to hear this. I know most on the forums (myself included) who've picked up a box were very happy with their purchases. I'm sure there are many who'd be happy to help take those of your hands in a trade.

I would be happy to take them. Who is this guy coming into our forum, no introduction, and putting a cigar many of us enjoy on blast with his first post?

How many have you tried? I have smoked a half dozen or so of these and they are actually pretty damn good sticks. For the money... one of the best deals in town. I am almost halfway through a box and have two more sitting in the coolerdor. Give them another shot, you may have just got a bum stick, it happens.

1844 is a good smoke in my opinion. My first rott was a bit harsh, but a bit of time in the humi (two weeks) pulled the harshness right out. Now the seem to only get better.

Oh and remember it is a 2 to 2.50 stick. IMO I think it is a great value stic that stand up to sticks two to three times it's price.

I need to try these out asap. I'll be placing an order this week for a sampler.

Considering no intro and first post I will just disregard those comments. I have smoked about 8 of the 10 I have and they get better every time I smoke them. The more rest they get the smoother they seem. I think it is a good value priced stick

Always let your sticks rest awhile in the Humi. After shipping they get a little dry and need a couple of weeks in the humi. I have been wanting to try Est. 1844 and probably still will. I know to many people who get there cigars in and light up and get a harsh bitter taste. You have to let them rest. Give them more time and let us know.

I've been really interested in trying these. Anyone got some tasting notes?

Yeah it's been reviewed by a lot of us in another thread. It is a very nice stick that starts with a bit of spice and then quickly mellows out. Medium to full body cigar.

I really enjoyed this smoke. The always awesome xxIcedGuardianxx hooked me up with one on Sat when me him and hannibal herfed and it was a very good smoke. I can def see a box of these becoming a must.

This thread has convinced me to enjoy one of these this morning! Thanks for reminding me new poster, and hope you give this one another chance. Not every cigar is for everyone, so find something you like and join us more regularly.

How is this your forum more than mine? I buy a lot of cigars from Cigar.com so I feel entitled to speak up when I think I'm getting stiffed. I smoke Don Pepin and est 1844 is just total tripe in comparison. Not worth it at any price. And while I'm on my soap box, comparing Nica Libre to Padron is juts plain wrong!

Jack. I think it was more based on your entrance than your substance. To each their own when you smoke. It was a strong derogatory statement against something that many here really enjoy. You are going to get some pushback when your first post is disparaging.

Stick around and you will find the people here all very respectful of other peoples choices. It's not that you can't speak your mind, but out of respect for others, a person has to be a little more considerate I guess.

Excellent point!

Just fired up my first one last week and I love these, probably my new favorite. I let it rest about a month and hope to pick up more of these soon. Great stick.
