Not a bad smoke but not a quick one either- these suckers are a good 7.5" long and smooth/flavorful with some Colombian Aguardiente Blanco. Now my tastes vary PUNCH Maduro/Gran Puro's to the occasional White Owl New Yorker (didn' Columbo smoke those?) and I do know what I like. These are yet to disapoint me with poor rolling etc.. I live in NYC (Manhattan) and bought a box from Barclay Rex (on sale at $54.00/25). Not too shabby. I prefer PUNCH Gran Puro 63/4) price point keeps me from com ing back often.

If you have another mark that I should try out or know where a decent sampler can be had please drop me a line. Currently I have store front access to www.discountcigars.com where they have a GREAT selection and a nice lass who enjoys a smoke as well- A club and cards/movies too- based in Norwalk, CT. Their prices can't be beat from what I see. Anyway, try Don Tomas Presedente- Not bad not knock yer socks off either.. Mom isn't disgusted and the wife doesn't make me tamp them out!
