Ok, let me set the bar here...I do not write reviews. I do not taste Madagascar Vanilla, and I believe nutmeg belongs in egg nog, not in my cigar. I have (as many will attest) no taste buds (and very little taste :D )

Got 2 of these last week as something to try when I placed an order for some other sitcks. (Thanks to Mica and Eric).

2 different cigars - a Connecticut and a Maduro. The listing on these cigars is a creation by Pete Johnson, using "lesser grade" tobacco, (assuming for a price point), etc, etc, etc.

I have to say - I liked them, Fired up the Conn on Sat am and the Maduro on Sunday am. These are great breakfast cigars. What they do not have in face puckering power, they do have in flavor. If you noticed above - I have no idea what flavors they were, but they were tasty, and the aroma was very nice as well. (Reminded me of a DPG Blue - complex, good nose, not overly powerful).

The draw was perfect on both, the burn had that fine black line, and the ash was tightly packed, and very white in color.

All-in-all, I liked them, and would definately buy more.

Re: Ambos Mundos

Thanks for the review! :) I have 2 of each wrapper resting right now.

I think they are a Habano & Sumatra wrapper.
I have not had them yet. But I have heard the Sumatra wrapper is the best.

#1 Habano #2 Sumatra and yes I also feel the #2 is a really good cigar for the money.

Re: Ambos Mundos

I smoked the Habano yesterday and it was pretty good. It was a tasty smoke that could have been a little smoother. It didn't have the complexity of the Tatuaje Browns, but overall a decent smoke. I might smoke the Sumatra tonight.

Re: Ambos Mundos

I agree decent cigar at it's price point but a little harsh

Re: Ambos Mundos

Habano and Sumatra - thats close to Conn and Maduro :D

Nice review.

Re: Ambos Mundos

I tried the sumatra toro last night. I was treating it basically like a yard 'gar because I smoked it while working in the shop...so I didn't expect much. I was blown away with the quality of the construction. The burn was absolutely perfect and it had a great aroma. I will definitely buy more and I will try the habano wrapper as well.

Re: Ambos Mundos

great smoke. i like the price best of all. :ss

Re: Ambos Mundos

I wasn't a huge fan. It ended on a good note but the first 2/3 pretty much sucked.
