Cuba Libre One

Bighead,
I hope you enjoy them. But, if they don't meet your expectations, please give another size a try before dismissing them. I just tried two Brute size this week and found that they aren't nearly as good a cigar as the 52RG robs and toros. There just seems to be too much surface area burning in that stubby cigar and things get hot fast. Tough to control and the flavors get a little bitter and start going south - smoke them slow.

60 ringers tend to be rolled a little more loosely which is what prob caused your issue. I'm wondering since the tend to be so big that, that is the size their less experienced rollers tend to do.

mybad, apparently I ordered the Belicosos...smoked one after a day of dryboxing..I must say, it was pretty darn good....they need a bit more time to dry out, but they kind of remind me of the La Floridita Limited, which are also Nestor Plasencia...
the cuba libre one is quite spicy!!

I agree. I smoked another 1 last night and it had a lot of spice. I love them! I just ordered a box of Anejado 1844 which, I have heard, are another great cheap smoke.
