Default CroMagnon Cigars

How are these cigars? And are they all different blends....Anthropology, Cranium, EMH, ect. I love Viajes, how do they compare?

My experience was with the Knuckledraggers, decent smokes but. Little too sweet for me.

I love the hell out of these!!! RoMa Craft comes in two main blends...Crommagnon and Aquitaine. I prefer the Cromagnon blend myself, but the Aquitaine is very good as well. Anthropology, Cranium, EMH, Knuckledragger, Atlatl, Mandible are the sizes in their line. I am also a Viaje fan, and Viaje has many more lines (Skull N Bones, Holiday Blend, Satori, HHG, Summerblends, Oro, Platino, Exclusivo) than RoMa Craft. I compare the Cromagnon line to the Exclusivo line. Bottom line...they are tasty as hell. I've been burning through a lot of these the past two months. When you see them...GRAB THEM...they can be difficult to find.

My favorite in the entire line is the Cromagnon Anthropology (corona gorda) But I haven't had the Atlatl yet (have two 5ers enroute).

Here's the major difference...

Aquitaine: The cigar features a beautiful thick, oily Ecuadorian Habano Ligero wrapper. Inside this beautiful wrapper are three much sought after different Nicaraguan long-fillers bound by a unique Cameroon binder.

Cromagnon: The cigar features a beautiful dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Inside this beautiful wrapper are three much sought after different Nicaraguan long-fillers bound by a unique Cameroon binder

I smoked a Mandible awhile back. It was one of the ones before they got labels. While it wasn't a bad cigar it didn't do much for me. I'd smoke another one if offered, but I would never buy one.

I've only had the Anthropology, both wrappers. The Acquitane is good but I prefer the Cromagnon.

The newer releases of the Intemperances have bands, the ones I received from the NC MAW from Jaso had bands, but the boxes of em I saw at the shop by my dad's place had no bands.

And to me the Intemperance BA Envy has been the best of the bunch I tried so far. Literally made it 3 puffs in before I went to the shops email to dig up the contact info to get these in the shop.

I have had the CroMagnon (thanks to a box split done by Mac!) and found it to be a very good cigar. The ones that I had were very well constructed, produced a nice amount of smoke and were very flavorful.

Worth a look if you are interested in the RomaCraft line is the Intemperance liga as well. It comes in EC (Ecuador Connecticut) and BA (Brazil Arapiraca). I have tried both the EC and BA and prefer the BA. The Envy (short perfecto) is my choice vitola.

I feel you, man. I hate when my taste in cigars (and whiskey) is overshadowed by the reality of my budget.
