Fausto's at NHC

Has anyone confirmed if these taste anything like the T110? Hard to believe for the like $6-$7 these go for at CAYP.

The Fausto tastes nearly identical to every T110 released after June/July 09. Fausto vs Avion? I smoked the 127 this afternoon, and the Avion yesterday afternoon. I liked the Avion better. I'll conduct more research tonight

I smoked the Fausto Short Churchill a couple of nights ago and the Avion the weekend before. Between the two of them, I liked the Fausto better. The Avion was a little one dimensional for me and the flavor profile was not as defined. I am eager to see how both smoke after some rest in the humidor for 6 months.

Also, the Fausto kicked my ass. I have not been that buzzed by a cigar in a long long time. I am usually a fast smoker and it took me two hours to get through this one.

Just finished another Avion and have to say that I found it much more enjoyable than the Fausto I smoked this afternoon. The Avion had the flavor that the Fausto reached about two thirds into the smoke...right out of the gate. I've got another Fausto to smoke (140 I think)...but right now, I couldn't see myself picking up a box of them. The one I smoked reminded me too much of the last box of T110's I opened...which were the foil wrapped, unbanded sticks that were the final release. It was so disappointing that I sold the entire box. I'd pick up another box of the Avion if I could put together the funds. Regardless...the price is right for any of the cigars in the Fausto line.

The Fausto is one powerful mf. More like a t-nuke than a t100
