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.
