Around here you will learn the push will be to get you to smoke more smaller ring gauges, coronas and lances, lonsdales etc. love corona gorda personally for CCs. Robusto is the fattest I usually go, always an exception considering even AJ is acting like a robusto should be 5.5 x 55 rg. They should follow the Cuban tradition and stick to hermoso no.4 with 47-50rg max. I lose respect for every NC blender as soon as they start releasing jawbreaker sizes. Example is perdomo, won't buy them or support them at all anymore because their robusto is 54rg and they dont even make coronas anymore.Good review though, I've been eyeing the oval corona size so I may have to purchase a few soon.

I wouldn't say the push is smaller rg...it is a preffered thing among some of us but not all coronas are better!! I think it's all in the company to make sure the filler is of quality! And so should the wrapper. IMO that is why Aj's coronas are good. His filler blends seem very similar and to me it is his wrappers that are the difference maker. But if you look at dpg he really doesn't have many coronas but they are still good sticks!! Also I don't mind a 54 rg if it's box pressed! There is a more balanced filler/wrapper ratio then. But it's the same as everything...if you don't have good quality no matter the size it still won't be great.
Looking at some of these jawbreakers, it seems like the only appeal would be a longer burn time. That and cultivating some sort of image. Still, I'm willing to try just about anything at this point as I explore my preferences.
I had a robusto Friday night and liked it myself. Like you say it doesn't knock your socks off or anything, but tasted good, was well constructed, and burned evenly. I've only had the sungrown, american, and corojo labels and this was my favorite of the 3. I think I would buy this and smoke it again, whereas the others I would not. I'm liking the reviews. Keep it up.
Thanks, red. I will be reviewing the sungrown next. I did not like it as much as the corojo. Eventually, I will work through all the house blends, but I've slowed down on smoking with some respiratory crud and bad weather. It warmed up the last couple of days and I was feeling better so I hit some house blends. I smoked the corojo a while ago, but I'm starting to run out of the backlog of notes since I've taken some time off from gars. I might get this review thread up to real time!
I don't think I'd exactly want to make this smoke a regular thing...only that it was smokeable with some rest. It was still very much like the Purple Label from ccom in my mind, but now I might leapfrog it ahead of the the house brand if only because it was all long filler and it had perhaps a slight bit more complexity. Neither will be on my regular smoke list, but I might want to try some of the other Macanudo blends after the comments on the initial review.
I am fond of this cigar...it has a nice spice to it but not overwhelming at all!! I do like tats spice and find it close to camachos. I've had a couple of these thanks to tony aka sleevplz. Mine did have a resting period but they are very smooth and very enjoyable...enjoyable to the point that I might have to buy a box!!

I really enjoy the La Riqueza. Easily one of my favorite sub-$5 smokes. And yeah, I may have gifted a few last year. Bought a few 5 and 10 packs over that time. Nice review Martel.

Lol well they are a great smoke!! So keep sending lol and yes very good review!!
Love the LP 9 always have a couple in humi... while they don't last long enough to age... Heck my 5 year old asks me constantly if I am going to go smoke that 9 ceeegar. But then again she asks me at 4 a.m. when I am heading to work and she is up to pee if I want some whiskey. What a good girl.

Thanks, macs, this made my day. Mine is 10, and she will occasionally do something sweet for me, but not so comedic anymore. And more often than not, I'm getting eye rolls instead of cuteness, now.
Not to derail thread... My oldest was same as the 5 year old... now if i get the Go to He** look its a good day... then surprise she asked wife to pick up me up some smokes... and the 5 year old chimes in 9's... Love my kids.
