i smoked the 44th. i like the 80 year better. that is strange that the padron family prefer the 44 better. i guess it is just my personal taste.

These came yesterday: God of Fire Don Carlos robusto


Smoked the 80th last night. Was very good but looking towards the 44th and 45th we have.

Yeah Jason, discount but we spent a ton at this place.

Ya that's why I knew how you got a discount. Been there done that!

Love the look of those GOF's Bill. I can't recall if I've had one or not, but I know I've always heard great things about them. I'll have to try to find a few to try when I have a decent amount of time to sit outside in something other than snow!

Cheers!

a noob here, i've been smoking villinger premium no.7 lately? how do you describe it? can i call this mild? any different flavor in the price range? or any cheap but still good that i should give it a try?

 

[kydsid]

Welcome to the thread Fhuang.

I have never had that particular cigar. But as for a mild stick on the cheaper side of the scale I would recommend: Oliva O (Non Cuban), Fonseca 8-9-8 (Non Cuban), Any Fonseca (Cuban), Jose Piedra (Cuban), Tatuaje Havan VI (NC) or Kristoff Criollo (NC) (the last two may be a bit stronger than yours but a good smoke),

Hi fhuang,
For all those not familiar with Villiger cigars, they're made in Switzerland and are primarily machine made. I can't really tell by the literature what strength the no. 7's are, but judging by the marketing spiel, they may be between mild and medium, maybe more toward the mid-ranged medium. Brazilian tobaccos make up the bulk of the cigar. It looks as if these might be hand made, but I can't be sure.

If you want a similar cigar taste-wise, give the CAO Brazilia a try, as it is made with Brazilian tobacco as well. The Brazilia is, however, a fuller bodied smoke, as the wrapper is Brazilian maduro. A nice smoke, but maybe a little strong.

Cheers,
Zach

You are not an inmate?? sheesh

How are those Fonsecas?
I am looking at some Hoyo Petit Robustos once again. They are great short smokes and little flavor bombs

They're pretty good. I hate to admit it, but they're all I have in the humidor right now, so I've had about five or six now. The construction can be hit or miss sometimes, with a few draw problems, but nothing major. I did a review here with some more of my impressions. I really have to get a better job to support my habit, lol.

I'm being committed to the asylum as I type.

Cheers,
Zach

Just smoked one last weekend. Is it the best from this brand, according to you? Heard about the Epicure series, but did not try yet.
