Anyone smoked one of these? I picked one up today and will likely light it up tomorrow. As a newbie, I'm not really sure what to look for. Anything in particular?

I bought a box of these 3 months back...i have smoked one so far...im go to let them rest for about 5 months or so then try another one. Now these are an entry level Cuban cigar...nothing special...but its still a decent cuban smoke. I have the Cazadores size...almost 6x43...great stick to enjoy in the morning with a cup of joe.

Jean-Claude Van Damme AKA. "the muscles from Brussels" = Belgium

Alright then...Jean-Claudde should have been Canadian.

It's crazy, isn't it Doug? We're following close behind here, though not quite as bad yet. Here in California, I wanted to buy a Padron in a cigar shop but couldn't bring myself to pay $10 for a cigar that sells for about $4 on here. It's all part of the same disease, public intolerance of smoking tobacco causes would-be smokers to re-evaluate the decision and cigar shops have to raise prices just to turn a profit. I think it's a sad state when people can't indulge in what they want because the government says it's no good...I can't wait to see where this ends up if our "health care reform" act gets put into action. If cigars and cigarettes aren't outright banned, the taxation and resulting price increases will be such that only the people with money will be able to partake.

All these talks about the piedra got me "thinking" about smoking a Crema. Ummm, it was tasty.

Just smoked this stick earlier this afternoon. Found it to be just blah. Nothing good, nothing bad in terms of flavour. Had a couple uneven burns, could have been me, could have been that the stick was out of the humidor since Friday, could have been the breeze by the water. Had varying draws throughout. Again, not sure how or why. Would not buy again.

Are those the ones that are mixed filler, machine made?

Probably. It was a pretty cheap cigar..... by Canadian standards anyway.
