Est. 1844
 

Man, this thing was a shockingly good cigar for the money. Im gonna be buying more of these to keep around.

Had a really dark spice flavor. Hard to place the flavor exactly, maby like a real deep nutmeg/cinnamon flavor........not sure.

Real deep dark chocolate flavor at times.

I loved this cigar.

Re: Est. 1844
 

i have a few of these waiting for them to age a little bit before i try it out.

Re: Est. 1844
 

After I read up on them, I think the flavors I was trying to place was the espresso and cedar. First the deep spice of the espresso kicked in then it finished with a lingering sweet cedar taste.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I've had mine for about 1-2 weeks. It was good.

Re: Est. 1844
 

One to try in the near future

Re: Est. 1844
 

Which Vitola did you smoke?

Re: Est. 1844
 

There goes the neighborhood......:sl

I smoke these almost daily. I love them and have picked up around 100 in the last few weeks. I will say the bigger vitolas are better (IMO) than the "50's".

I have a hunch these will be harder to get for cheap soon.:sad

Oh yea...The boxes of 50's are out of stock at CI FYI. I'm back ordered on them.

Open mouth insert foot.....:fp2

Re: Est. 1844
 

lol:D

Re: Est. 1844
 

I had the 50 extra

Re: Est. 1844
 

These are a great cigar for the price you can find them at.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Too bad they don't have a corona size (RG 44-47). Thanks for the review! :tu

Re: Est. 1844
 

I've got one sittin' in the humi, I think you just picked my cigar for tonight :)

Re: Est. 1844
 

I've only had the coronas and haven't been all that impressed. I've probably bought 6 or 8 of the 'Clown car samplers' from cbid - 1844 is my least favorite. Not awful, but hardly memorable.

The other ten cigars in the sampler are much better, IMHO. But at $2 per, I'm not complaining

Re: Est. 1844
 

A cigar doesn't have to be a certain RG to be good does it? :sh
I do tend to like thinner cigars too but in the case of the 1844 the bigger ones have been better IMO.

FYI. CI is now sold out of all vitolas.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Thanks to Jarrod, me too :D

Re: Est. 1844
 

greed, pure greed I tell you!

I'm trying to find some...........

Re: Est. 1844
 

That Anejado No 60 looks like it's right in my wheelhouse. On the list!

Re: Est. 1844
 

They've been having some of these on Cigar Sprint Sale just a heads up

Re: Est. 1844
 

someone just snagged a 10 pack of the 60's for $24 and some odd cents.

It was hard but they can be had for much less. I'm holding out.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I agree, corona, lancero or true churchill (7 x 47) would be interesting. I have not had one yet, but I am game.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Is this exclusive to just CI and cigar.com (aside from their cbid/cigarsprint type sites)? Don't see them anywhere else.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Yep. As far as I know.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Got my first fiver today!

Re: Est. 1844
 

Anyone want in on 5ers of the No. 50 x-tra or No. 60?

Re: Est. 1844
 

Please start a thread in the Box Split sub forum.
This is a review thread.

Re: Est. 1844
 

That's the description I'm afraid of. I've tasted something like it in the Punch Uppercut, and again in the Illusione MJ-12, and I wasn't a fan.

Would you (or anyone else) say the profile was anywhere near either of those? I do like chocolate, I love cedar and coffee.... but the eastern spice flavor of those two really didn't do it for me.

Re: Est. 1844
 

U might not like it then.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I agree. I am a fan of the punch uppercut as well. They both share something, flavor wise, with the Padillia signature 1932 which may be what you are describing. I'm not experienced enough to say I'm certain but I like the flavor of all three.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps I'll smoke one anyway, just to see if it does give me that same flavor. At least it'll help in the future to know.

I've got a Padilla 1932 sitting around somewhere, I might light that up too.

Have you had an Illusione MJ-12?

Ps - love the avatar. Love Chesterton! The Man Who Was Thursday is one of my favorite books ever.

Re: Est. 1844
 

I have been hearing alot of good feedback on these, I have one to try sometime.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Same here. I got a few from jluck (Jared), he told me to let them sit for a bit.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Padilla 1932 is one of my favorites. I've only had one or two Illusiones but that was a while ago when I first got started. I think one of them had a silver wrapper so that may be it but I wasn't keeping good notes back then so I can't say for sure. I'll see if I can't pick one up this week and see if it fits the same profile.

Chesterton rules! :banger I have never read any of his non-fiction...just Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. I've put The Man Who Was Thursday on my list and will let you know how I like it. Thanks for the heads up. Always love to read books recommended by people who like authors I like.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Silver wrapper is an MJ12 :tu

Re: Est. 1844
 

Let's get back on topic aye?

Re: Est. 1844
 

I'd be quite interested to find out if you think they all fit the same profile, or nearabouts.

I might try to smoke the 1932 tomorrow night to see if I like it. I'm guessing I might not!


But it sounds like for those of you who like the MJ-12, the 1844 might be the ticket for you!

Re: Est. 1844
 

1844 is on my list of "To-buys" next time I get to a B&M. If it is anything like the MJ12, I'll be happy!

Re: Est. 1844
 

I have never seen the 1844 at a B&M. You might have to go with CI,cbid or another CI owned route.

Re: Est. 1844
 

They might be sort of hard to find at a B&M as they are exclusive to a couple online sites from what I have heard.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Just snagged a pack of 10 of the 50 extras for $22.00 shipped.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Nice! Now if only I could find a Liga Privada clone for $2.20.....

Re: Est. 1844
 

I picked up a 10 pack of the 52's for $23 last night. :tu

Re: Est. 1844
 

I scored some 54's for 1.00 each and some 60's for 2.00 each. I do need more too:rolleyes:

Re: Est. 1844
 

Where are you guys scoring these from?

Re: Est. 1844
 

If we tell you, that means less for us. :sl

Re: Est. 1844
 

So not cool. Like being picked last for kickball. :gary

Re: Est. 1844
 

Just a couple hints. They are only distributed through limited sources,.start there.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Just missed a 10 pack for $21.00
I was seeing if it would go to $20.00

Now I'm mad at myself.

Re: Est. 1844
 

erm... yeah.... :rolleyes:
The watermark may have a clue. Or if you just reply to the photo post and read the link.


That didn't require any douchiness on my part at all, did it?

Re: Est. 1844
 

WoW............just wow.

Re: Est. 1844
 

Sorry, did I give away your secret? ;)
