I am smoking a Cohiba Red Dot right now. I've heard a lot of bad thoughts on them here, but have heard good and bad elsewhere.

I have to say it's not a bad cigar. Medium strength, but not overpowering. Actually very good, though not worth 11 bucks a stick.


Also, has anyone tried a Camacho Corojo? A guy I know who smokes about 4 cigars a day said this one floored him. Made his arms numb and everything.

I smoke the diploma and diploma maduro...and they are great...althought you may want to have them site a little while to settle down...they are full body crgs....I had the maduro the other day and my eyes almost shut...that is how my g-friend can tell if the cgr is good or not...she just laughs...the Corojo line is also good but nat as much beef...

Piss on me once ...that's your fault...Piss on me twice that's my fault....

I had heard somebody say that the Camacho corojo was the NC closest to CC taste/ strength.
I may need to try some of these.

I normally smoke either the 07/18's or the Diploma Maduro. Strong cigars, not for the newbies. I personally think that they are better than a lot of Cuban cigars. (Not all Cuban cigars) They don't unravel, they don't tunnel, they draw smoothly with vasts amounts of smoke. I would like to let them rest for a 6-12 month period, but, 3 months is the longest I've ever been able to wait to bust open the box. I like them so much, I'm going to visit the factory next year.
