Funnily enough, I had one last night. I was very unhappy with the initial tastes, but as it burned through, it picked up a good bit of spice. It was a little on the mild side as well for me, and I can see what you said; nothing really popped. I would rank it a touch lower then you at an 8 or so.
Would you reccomend me giving Hoya de Monterrey another shot after smoking that cigar? I had a few bad sticks from them when I was first starting out and pretty much haven't looked at one since.
I had a HdM Excalibur no1 today. Had about a year of time rest on it. was a very nice, albeit, mild stick. I would smoke several more when in the mood for a milder stick. Got a little more body toward the end.

maduro or natural?
it was the natural....very nice for a mild stick. I think the wrapper on those is described as an English Claro
I really like the Excalibur. I wonder if the year it sat mellowed it a little, I'd say they're medium-ish. Now I'm looking forward to the Tradicion, never had one of those.
So you got a tight draw on the Maduro as well? I thought it was my cut. My buddies had an easier draw than mine, but it was still tight. You know, now that I think about it, I think I was overthinking this cigar when I smoked it. I did get that barnyard smell, although I couldn't place what the smell was until you mentioned it. I'm going to pick up a few of these soon, and see how it progresses. My theory is that each stick will be a little better than the last. They all need a little age on them since they're so new. Any validity to this?
The La Aurora Maduro I smoked the other night had a STRONG barnyard smell as well, but thank god it didn't taste like that. The only smoke I've ever had that tasted like that was a Black Pearl. It tasted like a heavily fertalized barnyard! lol
My bad kuzi, I didn't even notice you had mentioned that. Didn't mean for you to have to answer a question that was already answered. I'm just another illiterate Texan I guess, lol.
I'd love to read the Legend Ario review....so don't be too lazy. I picked one up on you or justin's suggestion and smoked it a couple weeks ago...man, that was a good smoke!
