Gifted a Esencia Cigar.

J0eybb · 10-01-2010, 06:07 PM

My little brother is a waiter here in Vegas. One of his guests is involved in Esencia Cigars. The gentleman asked him if he smoked, and he said no, but my brother does. So I now have an Esencia waiting for me at his place. My little brother said they were good people.

I know nothing about them, or their cigars other than the quick Google search. Anyone have an experience with the people of Esencia, or their cigars?

Emjaysmash · 10-01-2010, 06:09 PM

I really want one. thats my experience! lol.

Made by BOTL (the same guys who do Palio) And I haven't anything bad yet!

The owners of Esencia and Palio are good people and BOTLs. One of them is a member here (OpusEx). He is a good friend and epitomizes top notch customer service.

I'm wondering who your brother's guest was who is "involved" with Esencia.

btw - Esencia is one NC I would never turn down. Excellent cigar.

One of my favorite cigars

LasciviousXXX · 10-01-2010, 06:19 PM

It would only be one of a small number of people LOL

A finer group of people you will never meet. And the cigars are absolutely fantastic. You will definitely enjoy them.

Great cigars but a bit hard to find. A Nicaraguan puro to my recollection. You wont be disappointed with this smoke.

+1 to everything said. Great cigars. The pc is firecracker of a cigar. The lancero is just as good. I'm afraid I like the churchill the most and I hear it is hard to find.

I'd also like to say I have met and herfed with the owner and he is a great BOTL with great taste in cigars. If he is making it I'll be smokin it!

The Churchill is my favorite too, I have found it at a local shop. I've never seen the lancero hopefully I can find some.

I think the lancero was part of the limited edition gift set that came with the cutter.

Fuller's sells 5ers.

Dunkel · 10-01-2010, 08:07 PM

I've been wanting to try one for a long time. I've only heard good things. If they make cigars half as nice as their cutters, they would be a treat indeed!

J0eybb · 10-01-2010, 08:13 PM

Thanks guys, I'm going to have to let it rest properly, but then it's on.

Ratters · 10-01-2010, 09:33 PM

Had a couple, good smokes. Think I have one left in the humi.

JJG · 10-01-2010, 10:15 PM

I've only smoked a couple of the PCs, but I was surprised at how good these are.

nice score!
