Yeah, keep 'em frozen for that freah-rolled taste. Methinks your onto to something new.
flash, did you get any explosions when you smoked it? Remember a guy once posted, on another board, about having a cigar kinda pop or rip the wrapper as he was smoking it. He figured it was a beetle getting fried in there or something like that.
I do not fear a skunk. I simply do not care for its odor.
I've never tried a Bauza (or any peso cigar for that matter) But I do enjoy the JLP line. Especially the Cremas. For a yard work cigar or if I'm on the tractor for an hour or two these work better than any NC. For a $2 smoke I would recommend them.

No explosions. Only weird little bumps moving under the wrapper as I smoked.

They're not good. I've smoked some Piedras in my day and have not been impressed....but these peso "cigars" make a Piedra taste like a Romeo y Julieta. If you like raw, harsh, strong, subpar quality tobacco then they could be considered OK, I guess. I smoked one Bauza and, when finished, it felt like someone had started a bonfire in the back of my throat.

About Bauza cigars...That was my grandfathers cigar factory (Miguel A. Mirete)and it was named after my grandmothers brother Juan Bauza in the 50's.
It's a shame that this factory was turned into a big noting after the government of Cuba(fidel) took it from my family.
Just wanted to share that and I guess vent a little bit lol
Thanks,
Bienvenidos! Una lastima, verdad, lo que paso. Pero no se preocupe! El barbu se murio. Y entre de la patria o muerte, solamente hay patria ahora.
Unfortunately, the cigars that have the Bauza name are made from substandard tobacco...mostly scraps or tobacco that was otherwise rejected for use in premium cigars. But the band does not relate to any production facility or factory. All the peso cigars come from the same places made with the same materials.
May the name recover its former glory, and your family its property.

Wow, Don...you must not like RyJ cigars too much. The sensation of what the cigar tastes like is accurate, though. It's as if your body goes into anaphylactic shock and your throat shuts down so as to avoid inhalation! My taste buds have never been the same since I smoked one...

Interesting question...I think that Bauza is made and/or marketed by Mike's. In a broader sense, this raises another issue...co-banding. For example, who has the rights to use PARTAGAS or MONTECRISTO or UPMANN? It would seem that the non-Cuban uses run contrary to traditional manufacture. But the opposite is true! While the revolution may have seized fixtures, furnishings and equipment, as well as buildings, land and other physical personal and real property, what it could NOT seize is intellectual property that went with the owners. It was up to the owners to protect the names by filing trademarks. After that, it was not proper for the Cuban industry to continue using the names like Partagas.
Many if not all of the traditional names were, as I understand, purchased or somehow acquired by Altadis, so this may be a moot point, but I could see a situation where, once the embargo is lifted, those prior owners of the name might try to prevent the use by the Cuban industry of the names that they own or owned for sale in the US, without first compensating them for 40+ years of unauthorized use. Imagine how much money is at stake...billions of dollars in revenues made by the Cuban cigar industry using the registered trademarks and trade names that belong to others...without permission or approval or payment of royalties!!
Again...some think that Cuba has the rights to the names, but that is not the case.
