So far, on the 12 Angry Men sampler, I've had:

Padilla Achilles: Awesome. Not intense, but really good flavor, draw and burn.

Man Of War: Seems like it could have used more humi time, but really good. Really intense flavor, decent burn, good to tight draw.

Sol Cubano CC : Very good flavor, that is unlike most cigars I've had. Excellent burn and draw. I bought a box. I really like these.

Nica Libre: Taste was decent, but could have been better. Burn was off and there was some tunneling. Draw was too loose. Not a bad smoke, but I don't think I need to invest in a box or anything.

Gave away my diesel to a friend, but he said it was great. I'll probably try to get a box or more of these somehow next month.

So far, I've been really impressed with the sampler.

You lucky, lucky man! I got a box a couple weeks ago for $64, which is still a great deal, but you stole those bastards!

kenstogie · 07-12-2010, 04:33 PM

You shuld try the Diesel unholy there gggggrreat! The Nica's some are better than others. The PC's were good that I had but the other sizes were inconsistant. JMTCW of course.

Cigar.com's daily deal is the Diesel Unholy Cocktail 5-pack for $14.95. If you buy two, shipping is free.

not affiliated, but I've been watching for a deal on these for a while now.

Some people need to work on their math skills. These new blends look good but not for $10/stick.

bigheadmark · 11-05-2010, 05:34 PM

hopefully he does not lower his standards to meet demand

maninblack · 11-05-2010, 05:36 PM

I agree. I saw a new MOW blend also, the Armada. It was 500 bones for 32!!!

11-06-2010, 10:27 AM

All the new Fernandez blends are terrific... especially the San Lotano Habano. It's a very strong cigar right from the jump, but has a complex smoothness that remains throughout the length of the stick. It a cigar that gets your attention with the first puff. It's only available through local B&Ms but I think it will eventually be sold at cigarsinternational.com. but that's just conjecture on my part. I don't have any official information about that.

bscottskangum · 11-06-2010, 06:02 PM

So, has anyone here tried the Ave Maria and/or San Miguel yet? I am intrigued and thinking of trying to pick up a few.

maninblack · 11-07-2010, 02:48 AM

Same here Barry but just waiting on the reviews to come out.

Brutus2600 · 11-08-2010, 09:45 AM

Just got an email from cigar.com and saw the Ave Maria cigar. I've got to say, as far as cigar bands go, this is probably the most kick-ass cigar band I've seen. Unfortunately that said to me "watch out, it probably sucks." But reading that it's from AJ Fernandez, it kept my hopes from dying completely. I mean seriously though, look at how beautiful this is:

The Holy Grail...what a monster of a cigar. 7.1x58?! (that's not the one pictured) Jeez. But yeah, I'd love to see a review on this line before I pick some up. Cigar.com has a sampler of each size for $49.95, but it's back ordered at the moment

bscottskangum · 11-08-2010, 03:03 PM

I agree about the band, I got a sampler similar to this in route http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewciga...=SP-CGTEAM24-3

Huskysibe · 11-08-2010, 03:54 PM

I got me a box of the Diesel Unlimited and a 5er of the Ave Maria coming, so I will let you guys know if they suck or not.

Kreth · 12-14-2010, 07:15 PM

Anyone tried the Nica Libre Potencia yet? Noticed it in the last few CI catalogs, haven't gotten around to picking up a 5er yet...

I picked up a ten pack of the Ave Maria Charlemagnes and they are outstanding. I've smoked one a day for the last five days and have just ordered a box. Great balance with big flavor without the overpowering nicotine hit. And yes, the bands are a trip! I've scanned one and put it in my Cigar Band Art Gallery: http://robustojoe.com/cigar-art-gallery/
