Ave Maria?

Snort Ciroc · 06-17-2013, 09:40 AM

Has anyone here experienced the Ave Maria? I plan on smoking one tomorrow. This is my first post as a new user. I'm fairly new to cigar smoking. Well, premium cigars. I smoke a lot of Swishers. But I've enjoyed about 4 premium cigars. Any feedback would be nice.

Hey Gavin and Welcome make sure you head over and to a full intro if you like. the Ave Maria's are good sticks if you are new to Premium cigars it maybe a touch strong for you but its nothing serious enjoy and let us know how it goes!

I thought the same thing...might be a bit strong for a beginner.

Snort Ciroc · 06-17-2013, 10:17 AM

Recently I've smoked the Vault Torano and The La Herencia Cubana CORE. Both great cigars. I'm nor to worried about the strength, even though it rates as a medium-full body. Thanks for the feed back, and I'll probably end up smoking it after lunch.

Thirded. I enjoy Ave Marias but for a beginner it might be strong. I recommend smoking it after a meal or having a coke or root beer with it. Enjoy!

I have enjoyed all the Ave Maria's that I've tried so far. I found the Knights Templar to be a little more mellow, I assume it's due to the smaller ring gauge, than some of the other thicker ones.

Snort Ciroc · 06-17-2013, 11:48 AM

Wow. That was one of the best cigars ive had. A nice hour cigar. It was good with some coke. Very relaxing. It had a sweet, rich smell. And it held a razor shard edge. Damn. Deffenatly buying more. And a well priced cigar also. Thanks for the feed back. It is for sure a strong smoke, but a nice one. It was a tad dry (don't own a humidor) but drawed perfectly. Yet again, thanks!

Porch Dweller · 06-17-2013, 03:28 PM

Glad you enjoyed it. It seems like you're picking some good smokes to have while stepping up from the Swishers.

Also has the best band out there!

CamoFlogged · 06-17-2013, 04:05 PM

But I guess if you can snort vodka, you can handle moving from a Swisher to an Ava with little problem.

Ave's are one of my favs. I've got some of the Reconquistas marinating...can't wait to try one.

Agreed!

I've wondered about these for awhile. I guess I need to try.

Ave Maria is a very good stick.

The Davinia version of Ava Maria is a favorite of mine. Unless you are very rich, you don't want to buy the ones that are packed individually in little coffins. You can get 5 or 10 packs from CigarPage for $5 or $6 each, maybe better.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious s**t.
