jerseyjay Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Let’s call this – a blast from the past. La Traviata came and went, and now sits under a ‘different’ banner. Nevertheless, it is one of those cigars that many folks will continue to go back to in order to appreciate its flavor, construction, and last but definitely not least, the price ! La Traviata created a lot of buzz on Twitter / cigar blogs at the end of 2009 because of its success and lack of inclusion in Cigar Aficionado’s 2009 ratings. I have smoked: Divino (5″x50), Radiante (6″x52), Favorito (5.5″x52) and my favorite – Animado (5 5/8″x46). From flavor perspective, personally, I was able to extract the following: spice at the very beginning, roasted nuts, wood, leather. All of that and more for about ~$5.50! More photographs on my blog
ckearns Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Great photos. I haven't tried these cigars but they do look beautiful.
daboose Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 This is one of several NCs I still enjoy; the Divino
jedipastor Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Great cigar! I agree the the corona gorda is the best vitola, for me at least, more intense. At their price point, they're really tough to beat in their flavor profile. The La Aurora 107 is close, though.
