I picked one of these up for $4.00. It was my first one I've tried. Wow! I was very impressed. It had a very unique flavor that I just can't pinpoint but it was good. It performed very well & had a very nice aroma too. Anyone else like these?

that about sum up the flavors? -
I like these a lot. I've had the corona and the robusto, both are really good med-full bodied low cost cigars. Box worthy cigars for sure. I read somewhere that the blend is very similar to the Antonio, except for the wrapper and one or two primings. The goal was to "tone down" the Antonio, but keep the flavor profile. I think they hit a home run.KCW:I picked one of these up for $4.00. It was my first one I've tried. Wow! I was very impressed. It had a very unique flavor that I just can't pinpoint but it was good.

Jdn's are a great stick! I really enjoy the dark corojo from time to time. The age well and even rott don't smoke bad at all. But I agree with kuzi and the toros are a great size for them

Must have been the Cocoa.
Do you prefer the Toro (to the Consul) because it smokes a bit longer or because you notice some other difference(s)? (Always curious about the differences in Vitolas within the same Blend). -
I picked up a few of these, celebracion and the anaño and it seems like every one has had a way tight draw. Which is sad, because I especially enjoyed what flavor I could get.
-
I've noticed if I buy them from a B&M/online and smoke them right off the bat the draw is a little tight. But if I let them sit in my humidor for about 2-3 months they seem to get a bit better. I don't know if it's just my mind playing tricks or what.

My explanation of what makes the Celebracion a great blend:
I can smoke it without a single though and enjoy it due to the great flavor and solid construction.
or...
I can smoke it with a great deal of though and be impressed at how much it has to offer in terms of complexity and balance.
Conclusion: no matter what my expectations are, it delivers. That makes a great cigar at any price, but it makes a benchmark cigar at the price these can be had at. -
I had one of these for the first time last night and loved it. Itvwasvthe perfect hour smoke and might make a decent cigar for the winter months since it isn't really expensive (on sprint or sites like it) and if I get too cold I wouldn't mind putting it out.
