Hey BS!

So, what was your take on that $2 BV ott?

I've put a box in my cart at the page price  ($22.50  only vitola left).  I'm impressed.  started off a bit bland and i was thinking "ok, box time may bring some flavor" as there was a hint of something light coming through.  I tend to pick light and dark flavors instead of coffee, chocolate, bread, etc.  and this one (i bought the Petite Pyramid) started picking up some nice light flavor after about 3/4".  grew in intensity and got into some heavier flavor mid way and By the end I was thinking these WILL taste good after we few weeks.  burnt my fingers nubbing it.  slightly tight draw but not restrictively so.  i tend to draw a bit heavy when I drive, so this one lasted me 50 min or so.

They show all sold out now and most likely the Page stole yours right out of your cart.

No actually it seems mine was the last one.  i went back before I posted the "review" and checked to see if there was any other sizes available, didn't so went ahead and hit them.  showed up as sold out right after.

Was coming back to update that Famous has the coronas (largas or something like that I think they call them) for $18.99 but need a Mash item to add for shipping, also Catsrule does not work for the BV's unless you have an eligible item with them.

There are 2 vitolas of Buena Vista Reservas on sale at Famous Clearance, slightly lower price

true, pretty much the price CP had them on sale for.  no free frt at Famous though unless you buy a bunch.  did read the 1 review and while i didn't think it was THAT hard to draw, so i do disagree with that part of the review, and i would give the taste an 85 perhaps.  the burn was right on so i'd bump that to a 90.

Would be nice to see some in a Toro or Torpedo.  Even a full size Bellicoso instead of the Pettite size.  would have liked about another 20 minutes or so.

Respectfully disagree on that one, Torpedo's are usually among the worst vitolas IMHO, Toros are usually good and I smoke some regularly but with the CyB's the toros are terrible smokes for some reason.

Do you really need a coupon code @ $18.99?

Totally agree with the exception of the LAT Edicion Racine Torp, I like toros though but CyB's suck in larger RGs for some reason

No,  but I really need a FS code as shipping would raise the price by almost 50%!  Would damn sure take a 17% discount though, us old retired (and soon to be retiring) farts are extraelcheapo!

Yeah, strange thing with the CyB's.  I bought a 5'r of toros on a special a good while back and they are like smoking an entirely different brand of cigar.

I think the Surrogates Skull Breaker is another solid torp... and the V, which I know you don't care for in any option.

My first experience was 2 years ago as a CFest giveaway (torp). It was so flat and bland I didn't get the hype

The V's are good cigars, my issue is that I don't think they're as good as advertised and have frequent construction issues. I find Olivas (except Melanios) to be very linear and unchanging/uninteresting

I just don't much like the shape of torps or belicosos regardless of which cigar it is.
