Has anyone tried these? I had one sitting in my humidor for 6 months and finally got around to smoking it...was very suprised! The construction was absolutely top notch, the wrapper was vein-free, it burned like a dream and had a perfect smooth draw with tons of smoke. If the flavor profile had been a bit more my taste I would be all over this thing.

If you get a chance I highly recommend on construction and burn alone.

I'm not sure about the Olividados, but I've had the El Rey Del Mundo Robustos before (I have three in my humidor) and they were outstanding. I'm honestly torn between buying a box of Chateau Sun Growns or these Robustos.

For me, when I smoked the Robusto, I was hit with a Cocoa or coffee like taste that I absolutely loved. This cigar was absolutely great the minute I smoked it.

Have you tried some of the other stuff too,like the Cafe Noir? I see a box of these for like $27.95 on JR Cigars and am tempted to buy a box just for that price.

The only other line extension I've had is their standard toro and the draw was too tight for my liking but I did note that even that cigar had a fantastic construction...maybe I need to give the Robusto a shot, thanks for the tip.

The Olvidados (I spelled it wrong in the thread) had a decent dry cherry taste and some toasty notes and was a medium body, not the full-body that they advertise.
