Black Crown?

alienmisprint

Has anyone tried these yet? It says they are made at Raices Cubanas, the home of Illusione, all of Alec Bradley's stuff, and Viaje. I am a big fan of all three of those brands, so if these are anything like their factory-mates, it seems like a natural fit. Just looking for any info on them, good/bad, comparison to Illusione or w/e, etc.

I am curious a these as well... I thought someone here tried them, but I dont see any reviews or mention of em.

edit just found a short thread... alex said they werebgood and compared to a fine and rare ( which i havent tried either)

Rain

I had a single corona. Checked my notes, it was average in just about everything. Sorry this does not help much. IIRC, it was pretty fresh though, probably should have aged it a little bit.

Trident

I've smoked through a number of these. And they are fairly good. they are definately worth a shot.

I agree with rain. I had the corona and it was a good everyday kinda smoke. I enjoyed it but it did get a little harsh at the end.

i had a toro and it was OK.....i mean it wasn't great, but wasn't too bad. When you are comparing this to ab and viaje i wouldn't say it is in the same ball park.

i bought a fiver, middle of the road for me, wouldnt pass one up, but wouldnt go out of my way either!

Seems like the general consensus is that its just an okay, average smoke. Kinda disappointed, I was hoping for a hidden gem or something, lol. Thanks for the replies guys.

An under the radar smoke for a good value is the El Titan de Bronze Maduro and Sungrown ...both very tasty..

Another cheapie smoked I've always enjoyed was Quintero. Can get a 4 pack in 4 different sizes for 10 bucks (around here anyways). Well made, medium-full, not awesome but above average...especially for 2.50 a stick.

Shizz, I've heard nothing but great reviews about the El Titan. I can't seem to find it on Ccom or CI.com do you have a site you get these from? The couple I've looked at have some differences in prices and I was curious to find the best deal. Thanks.
