Is anyone else a MI Barrio fan? I've only smoked one but thought it was very good at the right price
Like them fine, but they never stood out for me, so I can't call myself a fan.
They're OK, IMO. Don't understand the total admiration they used to get on the CI site (feel the same about the Brick House). Price is right on the Mi Barrios. I'd smoke again but probably wouldn't repurchase.
Not a fan for the price, too many others I like better...morning Joe and Tom!
Morning, Shaun. If I recall, MB flight samplers used to go on sale on the mash somewhat often. Haven't seen that deal in a while, but there are countless options in the $4-$5 range these days.
Those were always on the Mash...I recall 24.99 or somewhere around there...for $4-5 I go with Vs all day
I get what you're saying... but for the sake of discussion, I hate having a 'gold standard' at any given price point. Otherwise I'd just smoke Vs every day. Not that that'd be a bad thing, but variety is nice. So could something presumably cost more than an Oliva V, not be quite as good, but still be worth purchasing? I think so. I get bored if I smoke the same cigar too often.
I agree, wasn't trying to provide a gold standard but a benchmark. Oliva Vs, My Father LB PRs, CAO La Trivs, Knuckle Draggers, etc. Just saying Vs cause I'm assuming everyone has had them, not that I would smoke them all day every day.
