Huh?

For a five dollar stick, i find the casa magna quite tasty. I'll have to try the ambos mundos, i'll make it my assignment for the evening.

The sumatras are very good (burgundy band)

If someone has a casa magna from BEFORE the CA review, I'd like to hear their thoughts. I had one and agree it was ok, but nowhere near as good as the hype. Could this be a quality issue after business picked up?

I had one just as the review in CA came out. Ok stick, but not OMG good.

I broke down and picked up some PC for ~3.50 and found this to be a very good smoke. It was flavorful and had a mild complexity to it. I don't belive it to be the best of 2008, but definately a good smoke in the under $5.00 category.

I agree with this. I've smoked two of these and they are good, no doubt. When I say "good" I mean good for a $5 cigar. The Casa Magna is on par with Oliva G or V as far as value goes, IMO. It ain't no Tat Brown, that's for sure, but hey, it costs 5 bucks, not 10 or 12.

I've only smoked the double toro size. I liked it quite a bit, enough to buy a mixed 5er at the shop, anyway. Not awesome, but a solid cigar. IMVHO not "cigar of the year," but I know that CA decided to take price into account, so by that rationale I guess it was up there.

As far as my views on CA/CI ... I don't subscribe, but read it now and then when I see someone with a copy. I'd much rather get the opinions of "real people" on the boards than snobs who (allegedly) only smoke the first inch of the cigar.
