I just received an invite to a Troya event sponsored by an area cigar shop. The postcard shows cigars, wine, and Troya-branded chatchkies.

Anybody ever heard of Troya? Might stop by to get some samples, but hoping to find out ahead of time whether it is worth the ride.

Ive never tried one but have seen them sold on the FamousSmokeShop site. I think their a mild-medium smoke but not fo sho.

I've had a Troya before, and it wasn't bad. It's been about a year I think since I've had one, but I was pleasantly suprised. I'm not sure if they have many brand extensions, but the one I had was fairly mild, similar to a Gispert. It also only cost around $3 - $4 I believe.

It's also a dying cc machine made line.

Attended the Troya event at an area shop today. A selection of Corojo, Conn, and Cameroon wrappers. I tried a Fuerte (corojo robusto, $6.29) at the shop, and I must say it was a good experience in all respects. Burn, ash, draw and temperature were all well controlled with no effort. Immediate impressions of an earthy, nicely pepper-spiced smoke in the medium-bold range. It was not overwhelming in the least, and remained a smooth, flavorful cigar until I burned my fingertips.

If the rest of my test sticks perform as well, I would say it's well worth having in the humidor - especially if I can get it at one of my more reasonably-priced shops.
