    Hey Urbino, I don't remember where I was by wolfchase mall, but I picked up a couple Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles for around $5 a piece. You might want to head over there for a good stick without dropping more for an internet pickup. I wish I remembered the name, but it was off of Germantown Prkwy.

    PuroFreak:
    I think I saw some posts where Madurofan was talking about the Tatuaje cigars.  But regaurdless of who it was, I would love to see a review of the Havana VI from either of you two when you get around to it.
    Maduro was talking about the Tat. corojo 2003 and 2006, just so ya know you did have the right guy.

    Well, my curiosity is piqued now. The price tag on the Centurian has seemed a bit high to me to try it as a one off, but since ccom is offering a deal on them I went ahead and snagged a six pack for $30 along with a handful of cigars I was ordering. I'll probably try one fresh and let the others rest for some time. I'm not going to get my hopes too high, but we'll see, I'm not super impressed with Gurkha thus far, but I'm hardly disgusted with them either, just feel they are a bit overpriced/over-hyped for being good-but-not-great cigars (this is in my experience of course).

    That's a pretty good summary of my feelings about this one, Joe. BTW, I got my Centurians via that same deal. If they normally sold at that price, they'd be a solid buy. Still not among my favorites, but a solid buy. But at their normal price? I just don't see it.

    Hey Joe, everything Urbino says about that Purple ( urple ) is true.. You will want more.. I do not know how Graycliff can make that cigar and sell it at the price they do, when all their other stuff is going for super premium prices.. It's got this unique nutty taste that you will keep trying to identify, I have had many and never been let down..

    Well I keep reading about the Graycliff Legend but I can't find them on any site... I'll have to check my local shops I guess... Any ideas guys?
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    You will not find them in any shops ... They are available from another Company as their in house line. I think you can find them from an internet search using the proper key words..using the words.. Legends Series, Graycliff, and Cigars..That really should do it..If not I can PM you..check your inbox..

    Thank you VERY much! I'm going to have to check into trying these.  I keep hearing a lot of praise. 
  • PuroFreakPuroFreak Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,132
    Are you talking about the Purple ones? I don't see Legend series on this site...
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    Do a Google search using the words I mentioned, and you should find them. Or in the upper right hand corner there is a box Inbox, click that because I sent you the info..

    Ok, I found it finally! Thanks!
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    Good, what did you finally get ?? I picked up a box while I was waiting for you.

    While tastes may vary I have heard some different taste reviews here like ..."my dirty belt " or the classic what was it ,this cigar smelled like "a barnyard at the county fair" comparison..I have never experienced either of those. although that would turn me away from any cigar.. oh yeah thanks for the deferal.. But I do like them..
  • PuroFreakPuroFreak Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,132
    Well I tried a Black Peral Robusto the other day and I can tell it had that "barnyard at the county fair" smell and taste.  I was very dissapointed with this smoke and it was the first time I tossed one a little more than halfway through it.  Not a good night at the driving range...

    Black Pearl is one of those cigars that seems to show up in samplers.. I have had a few and they never made be write home to talk about them, I believe they were one of the few that didn't make it to the band as well...
  • PuroFreakPuroFreak Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 4,132
    Yea, mine came in a sampler as well and it was probably the worst one so far.  The Tusker was even better than that thing! haha And that was a cheap smoke!!! But those were the only two in that pack I bought that weren't really good.  It had a Gurka Legend and a couple Rocky Patels.  It was a great buy at only $29.99 for 16 cigars.

    Hey Urbino.. I do have a few that I really like and when I find one I mention it so others can share, and offer their opinions..some agree, others do not.. I'm glad when I hear that someone else shares my taste in cigars.. .and peace be upon you as well...
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    Hey Puro, I know the sampler you speak of.. I didn't think the Tusker was bad, it was a pleasant surprise for a " house brand ". It is made by Victor Sinclair and what I liked was the Connectict / Equador wrapper which is always pleasant to me.. I bought that sampler for the bulk and new smoke experience, if you hit on a couple good one, at that price it makes for a great deal. Did that sampler have the Patel Sun Grown in it too, because that would be the All Star of that package.. I

    I actually thought that the Black Pearl Rojo was an excellent smoke. I am trying to make some room in my Humi to pick up some more of them. Which Black Pearl did you smoke?
  • kaspera79kaspera79 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 7,144
    Vankleekkw... I tried several.. the Rojo toro, the Gran D Robusto, and the La Pearle Habano Maduro... Granted, Black Pearl can deliver with some Very Strong Cigars, that does require a degree of patience when smoking them... I tend to work my way through cigars rather quickly so perhaps I overdid it on some occasions... I will try these again with more time and an open mind to see if I am mistaken about them...I have read several reviews since and they do score highly among many cigar smokers...
