bstarrs Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Anyone tried these or have a line on them? I haven't found them anywhere.
mazolaman Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Yes. I learned from the Captain that these were only released in Spain, where I have found several. Really good, for a short filler cigar. Plenty of floral flavour, they reminded me in flavour terms of an average D4. At 3 Euro, a bargain.
stargazer14 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Let me know if you find a source, I'm in for a try.
mazolaman Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Had I known earlier, I would have sent you guys some. I've only seen them in Spain, and we are now no longer there. But if I see more...I'll let you know. They're good value.
stargazer14 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I found some on a site that has decent prices on thier cigars, but for the price of the Favoritos I'd rather buy a box of D4's! They cant be THAT good.
mazolaman Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 They should be nowhere near the price of D4s...... They are a short filler, the size of a choix supreme. As stated above, they cost 3Euro in Spain, whereas a D4 is about 10 Euro. They are a good smoke, and very good value...

I hear they are inexpensive but haven't come across that yet.
CaptainQuintero Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 About $25 less than the 25 box of D4's. I hear they are inexpensive but haven't come across that yet. I'm guessing that's purely supply and demand, they are only really supplied to Spain at the moment and even then they are not exactly being thrown at the retailers.
bstarrs Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 I've found a source here Canada with what seems to be a pretty reasonable price, so I look forward to trying them soon. stargazer you can PM me if you're interested.
mazolaman Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Looks like these are appearing around the world now. I hope they are as cheap as they were in Spain, but I doubt it. 3Euro...and the RG Perlas..a better cigar, was 2.40 Euros.
Geo17pip Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Im waiting on a bundle to come in, I cant wait to try one.
Smokntaz Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Splitting a box with a buddy. Can't wait to try them!
Strada Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 I smoked it yesterday at LCDH and it wasnt bad at all, the first half was good, the bottom miehh but at 8$ retail for an almost Robusto size its a damn good fishing cigar !

The brevas has that split personality too, age gets rid of it, still waiting for a decent day to light one up lol
stogiecidal Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I smoked it yesterday at LCDH and it wasnt bad at all, the first half was good, the bottom miehh but at 8$ retail for an almost Robusto size its a damn good fishing cigar ! Picked up a few to try from the LCDH. Just finished one out in the snow and it wasn't bad at all...I had a similar experience...first 2 thirds were good. Coffee notes, slightly floral with a hint of caramel sweetness on the retrohale with a woody toasted tobacco finish. Last third went bland and was meh for me too. Gotta agree, for $8 CAD retail, $4 CAD online, not a bad smoke for the price.
laficion Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Recived some last month,Not bad at all to smoke,I liked them.
CaptainQuintero Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Had my first today, nice cigar, very pleasant and creamy. Did a quick review: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113948
garbandz Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Bought them twice.They were hot and agressive,very young tasting.They are in deep storage now,we will see......
zepp69 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I would be interested in trying some. I had a box 5'er of aged quintero's but I have forgotten what they were. Good cigars for the price.
IcedCanuck Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I first heard of these a back in early summer or late spring of this year. People on this board were talking up a storm about them. I figured if everyone was talking about them I should pick a couple up and see what the buzz is about. It was, to the best of my memory, the only cigar hyped so much here on FoH that was an absolute dog rocket in my books. If I could hand out an award for worst cigar of the year the Favoritos wins hands down. Personally I do not know what people see in these. I would honestly smoke a Guantanamera or any Jose Piedro before smoking another one of those. If that was the first CC I ever smoked I may not have ever tried another. Do yourself a favour and spend the money elsewhere. I wouldn't pay .50 cents for one. I wouldn't even accept one as a gift, I would rather smoke the worst non-cuban I have ever had. In fact I have CC fakes that are better then the Favoritos. Rolled up banana leaves tastes better.
