habanohal Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Just looking for some feed back if anyone has tried them
investandprosper Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I had their original, it's a decent cigar.
bassman Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Strong & spicy, but not overly complex. I like them & am looking forward to trying the new PC size.
Charltonc Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 A friend gave me a few, solid smoke nothing special I thought it was a bit large of a ring gauge.
Habanakane21 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I've tried 2 sticks, a month apart from each other. Hoping my impression would change from the first one to the second. They didn't. I agree...spicy and not too complex. Wasn't really my thing. I won't be getting any more. I have 3 left. I'll try another in a couple months to see if anything changes.
sblevit Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 My experience seems to be different than others as I really liked them. Medium to full, spicy with some hints of cinnamon and cream. I just ordered the robustos and the PCs as well.
aglanixp Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I have 8 of the originals hanging out in the humidor. I think they are great and want to give them some time before burning some of the others. I plan to order the robusto size as well. That is my favorite size.
anacostiakat Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Friend of mine wanted to split a few of the first releases to try them. So I agreed. After smoking mine I can say I really do not care for these cigars.
jdbrown Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I like em. Good now for my taste and think they will age well...for my taste. Looking forward to PC's
crazymancal Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Bought some of these when they were first listed last year, smoked them as soon as I got them and they were excellent ! Really like them and I too cant wait to get my robustos and PC's !
crazymancal Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Received my Bespoke robusto 5 pack today. No pigtail on these but very nice triple cap and very dark oily wrappers. Had to smoke one right away to test out the blend LOL !!! Just like the original bespokes the draw and aroma cold are excellent. The first few puffs are very powerful with spice,cin. and coffee flavors. The middle is pretty much the same but the finish was smoother and stronger than I remember with the original bespoke. Very nice aftertaste. This cigar is very young as are most custom rolls but I like this even more than the original. I will give the other 4 some huni rest and report back how they smoke down the road.
sblevit Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 ^ I had a different experience. I really liked the original Laguito No. 5. I would describe them as medium to full with some cream, cinnamon and spice. But I just got and tried both the robustos and the PCs and didn't care for them as much. The robusto seemed like a completely different flavor profile than the Laguito No. 5s. More creamy and less complex. No spice or cinnamon. These are also clearly a bit younger than the No. 5s I had as there is quite a bit of ammonia. They need to be rested a few months and then revisited. The PCs were another completely different story. First thing I noticed was that they are soft and somewhat underfilled. But not terribly so. From the very first draw I could tell that these are STRONG. An immediate blast of spice and nic right after that. These are not for the faint of heart at all. If this had been a larger cigar, it would have kicked my ass. They produce ample, chewy smoke and the draw is very easy. So much so that I smoked right through it in like 20 mins (but I'm a fast smoker to begin with). The cigar did not change much throughout. Lots of spice, lots of nic and not much else. If you're looking for a quick strong smoke, these definitely fit the description. I suspect that these will age well and I'll come back an revisit them in a few months to see how they develop.
crazymancal Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Just to update.......Bespokes are now offered in a Piramide size and received mine monday......couldnt wait and smoked 3 already this week....... very strong but smooth.....I like how all three sizes ive smoked ( lag. #5, robusto ,Piramide ) taste different in there own good way ...... these piramides are young and I think they will age well.....nice flavors like coffee,chocolet and cinn. are present...... picked up a 15 pack this time and will try and let 6 or so sit for a few months and report back in the fall on how they have changed or not.

Puros Y Vino Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 OK..gotta ask. What the hell are "Bespoke" cigars? I understand they're customs. Anyone have photos of them? Are they anything special?
TMS36 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 They're customs from a certain vendor who's name shall not be spoken aloud, that's it, nothing special.
Puros Y Vino Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 They're customs from a certain vendor who's name shall not be spoken aloud, that's it, nothing special. That's what I figured. A quick Google answered my question too. Meh.. Whats with the name "Bespoke" though? Is it a play on Behike?
TMS36 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 It's actually been quite clever marketing for them. I troll a few boards and these have been mentioned on pretty much every one that I can recall
Lotusguy Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 It's actually been quite clever marketing for them. I troll a few boards and these have been mentioned on pretty much every one that I can recall AFAIK, they are the only custom rolls still widely available online (other vendors are either out of stock or out of the custom business altogether). Never had a custom roll from any source so I can't comment on the quality. I have one at home waiting for the right time to try (it's not a Bespoke). Would love to try the Czar customs as well. BTW, "bespoke" is just a fancy word for "custom", if you look it up in the dictionary.
Vortigan Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 They're customs from a certain vendor who's name shall not be spoken aloud As an aside,for those of you that have used this vendor,have you been happy with them?.I still have reservations,not about authenticity but quality.
cigcars Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 "Bespoke"...is that the barber pole cigar (and made of cuban tobacco, of course)?
sblevit Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I got a fiver of the piramides today and fired one up ROTT. It was as described above. Much better than the robustos and the PCs, perhaps not quite as rich as the Laguito No. 5s I've had (but close) with a nice nutty/buttery feel on the pallet with medium spice, some cocoa, cinn and roasted tobacco. The construction and draw are perfect and it's a good looking piramide. A tad young (very evident in the last 1/3), it will be interesting to see how these develop. I'm curious how the vendor is able to obtain such a large stock of these from the island . . .
habanohal Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Still cigars that i will get some day. Want to try them out
KWG116 Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I bought a five pack from a friend and thought they looked amazing. Great construction and beautiful dark oily wrappers. There were the PC's. I almost ordered 25 before I smoked one they were that nice. Then I smoked one. It was ok but very one dimensional and bit gritty tasting. Didn't buy any more but glad I have four that will be pit away for a long time. Way too many PC's that are cheaper and taste much better. Thank you Kwg116
bassman Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Their Laguito #5 is excellent- very strong & spicy. The PC is a different blend. More earth & little spice. Don't care for the PC, but the #5 is worthwhile. Reasonably priced for customs.
