Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

What are the thoughts on these for those who have had them, both the Natural and Maduro?

I know they are only 30 some dollars, but are they worth it?

I'm considering the Naturals for my golf cigar this year.

Do they have a lot of draw problems since they are rolled by apprentices?

thanks in advance guys

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Keep in mind, I'v had like one or two so I'll refer to the individuals who visit the B&M cigar bar I work at. There's 2 people that smoke them regularly....I'd say they order a bundle a month. They like 'em and I've never seen them have a burn issue or draw problem.


That's my take.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Do you know if they are smoking the Naturals or Maduros or both?

I like to smoke Naturals on the golf course

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I buy 4 or 5 bundles of the #500 maduros(for me) and the #4 maduros(Anita) a year. Been smoking them for over 4 years. We like em but that's just us. For me they are worth it.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I have heard before that people like their maduros more than their naturals.

Have you tried the naturals?

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

i like them, just take them as they are. something to smoke that you will enjoy but dont mind putting down, usually for times when you cant sit down and focus on them. i give them a nice big :tu

naturals

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I've had a few of the naturals and I was really shocked at how good they were. can't say which is better though.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Are these long filler?

(I know there are some that are short filler, but they are marked that way. Curious about the others)

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Maduro :tu have not had the naturals and yes they are long filler

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

The only natural one I have tried is the No. 85 - not bad, but prolly won't buy another bundle. I love the No. 500 Mad's, and also the No. 380 mad's. The 380 is 5 x 38, a good quickie.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Let me know if you get them and like them, I have been wondering the same thing but afraid to pull the trigger on them. I like the Savanelli ELR DBL Corona Maduro's for golf. Lately I've been smoking the RP decade torpedo, but would like something a little cheaper in the 5$ range doe golf that has great flavor but still allows me to keep my senses :)

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I'm with ya on the lowering my price for a golf gar. That's my quest over the next month. I actually have had a cigar called La Villa Dominicana and it was pretty good. Keep in mind that I tend to like mild.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I just had a Number 4 natural last night and I was impressed by it. It's a very mild smoke that picks up intensity as it goes along. I liked it a lot. The smoke was not a pretty one. The wrapper had a serious case of sunspots and there was a tear in the wrapper but that didn't affect it at all. I will have to get some of these when I get a chance.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

what's the story on these? I know they are really popular as far as bundles go and the ones I had were fantastic. Are they seconds?

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

There own story is at this link:

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I think the Savanelli is on the mild side, but again that could be compared to the other smokes I like. Worth a shot if you see them. I'll look for the Villa Dominica next time I'm out for cigars. thanks for the tip!:)

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I like the 500 and the 50 Maduro, haven't had any Nats yet. Tough to beat these for the price.

They burn great. Not the prettiest sticks in the world and they are rolled fairly loose. Doesn't matter to me though. I have bought them 4 or 5 times and will buy more.

They come fairly wet too so give them a couple weeks in the humi before you have one.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Definitely worth the relatively small cost for a bundle. I love the maduro but the nats are okay too. As everyone else said its more of a yard gar with a great taste just don't expect them to be an ultra premium and you won't be dissapointed.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I think it's trigger pulling time.....

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

have to agree there. in general everything from TS is shipped pretty wet, they use a basement setup at their site to maintain humidity. pretty cool actually.

they also have some new flor de ybor sungrowns they just came out with. all are pretty good but some humi times really brings them out. they are around 50$ a bundle though.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

When I was at ybor I bought a bundle of each, well worth the price and I have ordered more of the Maduro. Before I smoke them I dry box them for about a week and never have had an issue with excess oil or burn

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

There ok but a bit to mild for me. I do like the #50 natural as a good morning smoke.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

I finally pulled the trugger with 2 hours to go before SCHIP last night. I got a bundle of the #4 Maduros. I have wanted to try these for over a year so I am anxiously awaiting them. :tu

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

:dance: :dance: :dance:

They actually have the Maduros in stock :wo

Just ordered 2 bundles.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Actually upped it to 3 when I saw the free shipping on 3 :tu

They showed up today and got tucked into their very own cedar tray for a 6 to 12 month nap.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Its worth it for a decent yard gar.

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Fired one of these up ROTT +1 day. It was great. Reminded me of the regular Fuente Maduro Line

Re: Tampa Sweethearts Bundles: Yay or Nay
 

Does anyone know how these compare to the Perdomo fresh rolled? I havn't tried either, but I need a stash of lawn mowin sticks to kick off the season right.
