I've had them. They're very nice cigars but not really along the lines of the profiles that I prefer.
That's the stick. I'll take a look around and see if there are any reviews that would make me want to try it. I take it that you didn't feel it was worth the cash? Or just not your taste?

The cigars were given to me via contest winnings on another forum IIRC, so cost wasn't a factor. In fact, I didn't know it was a $20-something cigar until after I smoked it, I knew it was Perdomo's top end cigar, but I didn't have any idea what the price was.

It was a really nicely done cigar, very well made, gorgeous looking, but just mild, maybe medium at best. Much lighter a cigar that I would typically smoke in an NC and the flavors weren't exciting me. It just simply wasn't to my tastes, so, even if it was a $2 cigar, I wouldn't buy any. It wasn't bad, I just didn't like the profile.

This coming from an unabashedly Davidoff fiend.

Buy a Davidoff special r instead.

Nice cigar but I prefer the Perdomo2 for half the price. If I were spending $20, I would look at the Padron Anniversary cigars.
