A fine alternative to the Habana Puro.

I
The guilty pleasures I have thats NC of course, is the La Aurora perferidos. They are dam expensive but everyone has to indulge every now and then right? I found the treasure box sampler at famous-smokes.com for only $67!! Usually they go for $100. If i ever got bombed a box of these I'm sure I'd never get to enjoy them as I'd die of shock lol

Yo Bender, I agree with you on the LA Perferidos; a reasonable substitute for the Habana puros. But if you really like the Perferido, you should try the 100 Anos sometime. It will blow your mind, dude.

BTW mi amigo, as you may already know, a number of the web vendors, like Famous-smoke and CI I believe, will gift you a Treasure Box sampler of 5 full size tubos with each box purchase. An excellent way to lower the cost per stick.

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I love the shape of the La Auroa Perferido!

I've been interested in trying the Man o' War. Tell us more about it.

Made by AJ Fernandez, until 4 years ago working with Vegas Robaina, until he left Cuba. To my palate it was a very distinctive "wet almond peel/shell" tast (which is how nutty registers to me), a bit of sweetness, but it is a greatly balanced, rich cigar. It reminds me of a Montechristo. Don't be put off by the silly name, it is a great cigar.

Great insight. I'll order up a few then. Thanks.
