I'm not sure if they are under the radar because they are not as marketed or if the aren't new or if they just asrent as complex as other kelner blends. Its not a bad smoke and its absolutely better than the avo Maduro, but not as good as any of the other avo line. If the griffin's had more lines would the brand be more popular? Besides the LEs they have been putting out they have nothing else.
I think it's a combination of the fact that there's very little marketing or hype surrounding it and that the line's been pretty stagnant for several years now.
Wow, all that build up for a cigar that falls flat. Sounds like they chose the wrong leaves to age. Hopefully this new rebanding/reblending move begins to improve for them.
That's disappointing to hear. I was really curious about this cigar since the B&M back in Jackson, MS, that I always went to had a box full of these. I couldn't justify 30 bucks on a cigar that came from Altadis though. Now I know. Thanks for the review, Matt.

Just curious, which B&M was this? Do you remember the name? I live in a suburb right outside Jackson.

Havana Smoke Shoppe off of I-55 (or I-51, I can't remember the num). Though the last time I was there was about 2 years ago. Not sure if they still have it. I lived in Madison before I moved to Canada. Last time I was there, they also sold Opus X and Anejo at MSRP (9 to 13 bucks per stick) as well. Not at 30 bucks a pop like most online sites do.
Ok, cool. I know exactly where you are talking about. I'll have to pay them a visit soon especially if they still have opus x for 9-13. That's cool that you lived in Madison. I know we have hot, humid weather down here in the summer but I don't know if I would trade it for the snow and cold up there in the winter. hehe
It's nice seeing another BOTL from the ol' MS. I think you're the second BOTL I've seen from there. The first one, he just up and poof'd after moving from MD to MS. And yeah, I know. The weather sucks here. Wife (fiancee at the time) was originally from Canada and wanted to move back. That and the fact that there wasn't any decent work available in central MS that I knew of after my time in the Army, what're you going to do, right?
