El Centurion

They're not really a re-release as they're a completely different blend. Word on the street is these are just a maduro version of the Flor de las Antillas that Pepin released with the old Centurion name and band, mainly to have a shot at CA's #1 again this year, as CA won't give #1 to the same cigar, but with different wrappers two years running.

My personal take on em? I could believe they are just a Maddie FdlA. Though you can really taste taste the Sancti Spiritus in the filler much more in the El Centurions.

Interesting if theCenturion ia the FdlA with a maduro wrapper. In any event, it is a much tastier cigar IMHO. Bought quite a few to put up for a bit of aging.
