I saw these the other day and they look like they would be a decent smoke. About 90% of my cigars are full bodied smokes so I like to keep the other 10% stocked with something mild or medium. I tried the regular Occidental reserve and the HSG's. I liked both and have been waiting for them to produce a maduro. If anyone has tried it please let me know what you thought and how was the flavor profile.
Thanks,

I saw them at Cigar Kings http://www.cigarking.com/finditem.cfm?itemid=5568
I never smoked them. I bought box of the regular ones 3 month ago, they were too strong for me, and so I gave them to my cousin. I would think, if you like strong cigars you should just buy a box. They are not expensive. Regular ones are well made and burn even. Like I says before they were just too strong for me, otherwise very good buy. (I usually smoke something like Avo, Griffin or MC)
Let me know if you get them, may be I try one.

You know what, I just went and bought a box of Robustos. I am curious myself. I paid 2nd day air, so I should receive them probably not later than Thursday or Friday. I'll let you know what I think about them. For now I have to make a space for them in one of my humidors (tough thing to do )

I've had two of them. They're not bad at all. Pretty one-dimensional, but a they have a good sweet flavor. They're similar to a HDM Double Maduro but not quite as good. I will buy more for the occassional change of pace. I do think they are FAR better that any of other Occidentals though.

Thanks guys for the replys. Silverzone are you talking about the HSG's(havana Sun Grown) or the regular Occidentals in the bundle? The ones in the bundle are as mild as the AVO. Well anyways let me know how they come out. Thanks for responding.

I was talking about HSG's They came in kind of redish box of 25, not the bundle. It didn't mention Alec Bradley's name on the box. The ones that got 90 score in CA magazine.
I don't remember where I got them.
The ones I just order is that the ones you were talking about (Double Maduro) or something different?

I was talking about this:

stogemiester, if you want to email me address, I will ship you couple of occidental double maduros when I get them, so you can try it yourself.

Hey man that will work for me. I like most of the Alec Bradley stuff. Just about all of the stuff is blend by Hendrik Kelner( blender for Avo, Davidoff,etc)and rolled
in the Tabadom factory so you know its of good quality. E-mail on the way. Thanks alot SilverZone for the offer.

stogemiester,
I sent cigars for you via UPS, besides Occidentals I put maybe 5 different cigars for you. I hope you like it. I will email you trcking number.
Occidental Double Maduros kind of remind me Privet Stock Maduros by Davidoff. I am not surprised.

I'll be checking the mail and thanks man, cant wait!
