Black Crown?

Has anyone tried these yet? It says they are made at Raices Cubanas, the home of Illusione, all of Alec Bradley's stuff, and Viaje. I am a big fan of all three of those brands, so if these are anything like their factory-mates, it seems like a natural fit. Just looking for any info on them, good/bad, comparison to Illusione or w/e, etc.

I am curious a these as well... I thought someone here tried them, but I dont see any reviews or mention of em.

edit just found a short thread... alex said they werebgood and compared to a fine and rare ( which i havent tried either)

Rain

I had a single corona. Checked my notes, it was average in just about everything. Sorry this does not help much. IIRC, it was pretty fresh though, probably should have aged it a little bit.

Trident

I've smoked through a number of these. And they are fairly good. they are definately worth a shot.

I agree with rain. I had the corona and it was a good everyday kinda smoke. I enjoyed it but it did get a little harsh at the end.

i had a toro and it was OK.....i mean it wasn't great, but wasn't too bad. When you are comparing this to ab and viaje i wouldn't say it is in the same ball park.

Seems like the general consensus is that its just an okay, average smoke. Kinda disappointed, I was hoping for a hidden gem or something, lol. Thanks for the replies guys.

An under the radar smoke for a good value is the El Titan de Bronze Maduro and Sungrown ...both very tasty..

Another cheapie smoked I've always enjoyed was Quintero. Can get a 4 pack in 4 different sizes for 10 bucks (around here anyways). Well made, medium-full, not awesome but above average...especially for 2.50 a stick.

Shizz, I've heard nothing but great reviews about the El Titan. I can't seem to find it on Ccom or CI.com do you have a site you get these from? The couple I've looked at have some differences in prices and I was curious to find the best deal. Thanks.
