Default Re: 809 cigars

I have never heard of them either but here is a picture I believe.



It also looks like Thompson really pushes these. Here is a snippet from a review I found online from a fellow BOTL. (For those newer guys, I would not order from Thompson as they hound you like hell and mostly have higher prices than all other vendors. I just recently moved TWICE (due to school) and they have found me. I get a catalog every month even though I specifically have called them twice to remove myself from the list. Now I just use it as packing paper or to do any kind of dirty jobs on haha.)

The pre-fire draw produced no flavor. The smell, nothing special, about 2 wrungs up the ladder from a Tampa Jewel, or Philly. The draw however, was one of the smoothest I'd ever experienced (though I am new to this). Every draw producing thick clouds of grey/white smoke. With hints of coffee, and chocolate. After the 1st third the coffee flavor seems to wear thin, and remind me of a cigarette, which stayed until the end. The burn was very good it stayed true through the entire cigar only getting weird once towards the end but corrected it's self before I was done.

Final thoughts. I guess it's not terrible for a $1.50 cigar, and maybe I'm snooty since the first cigar I ever smoked was a Fuente kinda set the bar high from the get go.

I would smoke this again if it was gifted to me, however I would not buy them again.

Not much other information could be found other than it seems that they are made by Felipe Gregorio.
