Amazing review! Sounds like a great smoke. Wow I cannot wait to try mine. I got a Torpedo instead of the robusto though. I am saving it until Fathers Day.

Great review Stoge....but I'm gonna let mine rest for at least another two weeks, then sit down and compare it to a PSD4.

Mike

The one you got DFW is a Hybrid I bet, I dont think they make the Miami 8/11 in a torp. I could be wrong though. The Hybrid is also a fantastic smoke, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I got 2 of them. Both are Torpedos. One is cameroon colored with a black, red, and gold band. The other is Maduro colored with a blue, black, and gold band. If what I read is correct the darker on in the blue band is the 8/11. Or maybe not.

Here is a picture...

The Blue and Black band is a Padilla Maduro(let this one sit for a while ) and the red and black is the Padilla Hybrid. You dont have a Miami 8/11. If your patient young grasshopper I will send you a Miami 8/11 when I get my box in.

Man! That bites! LOL I was all excited about the 8/11. I feel like a jackass! LOL But at least I get to try a Hybrid and a Maduro. I guess I will just have to smoke my last Cuban Monte #2 for Fathers Day.
By the way I would be extremely grateful if you might gift me one when you get a box. Top notch you are Stogie!
Now time to go cry into my humidor.

great review stogie, pretty much what i experienced also...that nutty, cashew taste is what i was trying to determine in mine...the ash, smoke, band...heck everything about the cigar is p.e.r.f.e.c.t...95 is higher than anything i would ever give to a nc, but dang i think you're right on here...

Nice review Stogie.

Nice review Stoge, but next time could you elaborate just a little more....lol, it's like I need a digital bookmark to read the novel. I'm just jealous cause I could never review a cigar quite like you do....

Mike, let us know the results of your showdown, should be interesting.

I'm very interested in your opinion and results Mike. Cant wait for the review.

Idesign! YOu know your gonna get a sample from my box.

Thanks for the complements guys.

Nice review, this cigar sounds pretty great. I can't wait until they come out. Anyone know the ETA on these sticks?

Their coming out in August, I will get back with Ernesto. You'll like the Fu(k out of it PMP, it sooooo good.

I will probably light mine up in the next week or so, maybe ill save it for my birthday smoke next week, should be perfect for that special occasion! Not sure if ill be able to wait till then though, haha.

Funny you should mention PSD#4...I smoked an 8&11 yesterday and that's exactly what the flavor reminded me of.

Unfortunately, the burn was horrible...crooked, needed a touch up every time I ashed it...also, as it burned, it softened up so much that it was spongy by the end. It had a few weeks in the humi, too...but I'm not giving up on these yet, they're great tasting.

Great Review GREAT cigar.
I was stunned by the depth and compexity of the flavors. The burn was only as unvevn as a very oily wrapper would create. You know how I hate to praise somebody elses cigars, but this one was truly special.
I can only drum up 3 complains-
1)the cigar itself was a little soft (tiny bit undefilled?) although it didn't burn hot and the draw as perfect.
2)A slight mettalic undertaste that came and went a few times. Not enough to bother me, just enough to notice. I think this is characteristic of certain Nicaraguan tobaccos that must have been used somewhere in this cigar
3)Pricey? I thought so, but then again, a good cigar is a good cigar, and price at most should determine HOW OFTEN you smoke a particular cigar, not whether you smoke it at all.

I smoked one Friday and another today. If only they burned better, I'd buy a box. Still, it's an outstanding cigar and not overpriced when you consider how much it probably costs to make these.
