Perla Habana Black Pearls

CI has what would seem to be a great deal on these right now (<--- always the pessimist). I have read some good things but noticed the reviews on this site had only a single comment. Anyone have an experience with these? I don't want to jump w/o some input.

Decent smoke, nothing spectacular. In the same price range, I prefer the Flor de Oliva's or the Joya de Nicaragua Fuerte 2nds in the same catalog.

I've liked all the JDN's I've smoked. Perhaps the fuertes...

thanks

The fuertes are yummy

I wrote a review about two years ago. Let me find it if I can. The line received a vertical rating of every stick from its line in the 90's from Cigar Aficionado (take with a grain of salt) But it is a decent stick but nothing great. I just looked and I have one left. PM me your addy and its your's in the mail tomorrow. Your exact stick is one of the five pictured in my review that I manged to scrounge up as I typed this response. Seriously I would love for you to try it. It has two years on it.

Here is my review if you want to check it out!

Great review Tank, hope you start reviewing over here. It sounds like it would be right up my alley. PM sent.

I smoked one at some point last year or early this year and I got a dog turd. I only smoked one, and it was back when I didn't know much about humidity other than floral foam and cigar box style, in its defense, but I still wouldn't do it

This may be one I pass on.
