Perdomo Fresco Maduro vs. 826 Slow Aged Maduro

[dave]

It has been 18 months or more since I've had either, so feel free to dismiss what I recall (CRS bigtime).

To me, Nick does a pretty good job with Maduro wrappers - particularly in the cheap spectrum. However, I've found the Frescos (nattie included) to be pretty harsh. I think you'll find the Slow Aged to be considerably smoother, but also milder. I probably would need to be pretty hard up to smoke a Fresco, but I wouldn't turn down a Slow Aged.

I wouldn't worry too much about the investment in the Slow Aged. They're cheap at CI and really cheap at cigarbid. Even if you end up getting a bundle, I think you'll like them well enough -- if not, they're fine for mooches and troop bombs.

826s can be had pretty cheaply on the Devil Site. Combine shipping with some other ones you've been considering to lessen the rate.

I've had numerous 826s over the years and they're pleasant. Never had a Fresco, but being a maduro lover, I would assume it couldn't be too bad.
