Have to agree with the others; I smoked my first one tonight - Sumatra. Very good smoke, perfect construction. Did kind of get a sense of competing flavors that may not exactly go together, but that may ralax with a little more rest. Can't wait to try the maduro! I can't remember, which factory constructed these? Whoever it was did a great job.
So far I'm liking the Maduro much more than the Sumatra.
Me too, hopefully if the Sumatra bundles do well, they will start producing the Maduro as well. I called Ccom as soon as I read that they were just going to be producing the Sumatra so I could snatch up whatever samplers were left (for the maduros), but it looks like all the samplers are gone. This makes Tony sad on the inside.
I still haven't had the maduro yet but the sumatra was delicious. I'd be happy keeping it in its original form but if we're having a discussion about changes anyway than I'd say I'd like to bump it up in strength to the med-full range with a bit less sweet and a bit more peppery spice. This is my personal taste, I just like spicy more than sweet.
I know one person that would most likey buy a bundle of the Sumatra. He didn't really like the maduro but he doesn't like maduros in general. If they were the same $3 a stick that would be an incentive for him. I still have to give some more out but I haven't seen my boys to hook them up.
