Thoughts on the Cubao no.7

Echambers

Has anyone had these? Thoughts?

Anyone?

Never tried it. I have thought about purchasing it a few times. I think peppin blends it and I like a fair amount if his blends .

I have had a Cubao that was about a 5x50 size, but not the number 7. I remember it being a bit spicy like a lot of DPG stuff but nothing else really jumped out at me. It was a good cigar, but I didn't rush out and buy a box.

Thanks. First time on an auction site I was trying out the bid feature so bid on a box mostly by mistake. I wasn't worried because I figured some one else would bid in the next couple of day. No one did and I one a box dirt cheap. Come on Monday and was just curious of anyone had had them.

These are made by Ortega now and are great smokes IMO.

So $40 for a box of 20 sounds like a good deal...

New or old blend that's a pretty killer deal.

Not a bad smoke....haven't had one in years but from what I remember it was a good earthy smoke. And yeah $40 for a box is generally a great deal!!

Here is what I would suggest... Not a bad deal at all, but without having had one, I wold not recommend it. Reason being, if you do not like it, then you have an entire box to sit on... I made this mistake many times with stuff I kind of liked, then grew out of it. Or I bought 10's or boxes of stuff I wanted to try because it was such a good deal and I heard good things. Sooner or later, I had way to many cigars I did not need. It was ridiculous. Granted, I still have too many cigars, but this is stuff I know I love after years of smoking.

I already bought them mostly by mistake. Was just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Thanks for your advice!

Oh so true next you will be looking at cabinet humis if you do not have one now.

Regularly smoke Cubao maduro rothchild. Got 2 boxes of the original blend by E&O -- Espinosa & Ortega. The cigars made now by Eddie Ortega. A good quickie with chocolate spice and smooth draw. Rustic San Andres Mexican maduro wrapper that has a rough fell, like a Padron 5000.

Rhamlin

I had the torpedo maduro once long ago and have been meaning to get a fiver ever since. Eddie makes great cigars.
