Puros Y Vino Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Back in November 2015, Hamlet had a few tour stops in PA while promoting his debut cigar. I contacted a friend and told him he should head out to meet him and try his cigar. In turn, he offered to pick up some boxes and relay them up to me. So I asked around, others were interested, so we did a group buy. Hamlet was gracious enough to sign and date each box as well. Below are the spoils. Closeup of the Coronas Closeup of Robustos Closeup of Salamones Closeup of Toros Kudos to Keith for bringing these up from the US. In all, the presentation of the boxes and cigars IMO are quite handsome. With only one exception. There was some paint dust residue from what I believe may have been some kind of silk screening process for the logos and type on the box. I wiped them off with damp paper towels and there was a yellow tinge that matched the box paint. Kind of a nasty oversight, but not the end of the world. It was easy enough to clean up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCgarman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I tried the Toro, but really enjoy smaller size cigars. Would love to try the 42 ring Corona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westg Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice ...have you smoked one , if so please tell us ...what was it like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice ...have you smoked one , if so please tell us ...what was it like ? I've smoked two Robustos. I really enjoyed them. It is definitely a full bodied and at times strong cigar. On the plus side, it's flavour profile was dynamic. I'm used to smoking NC's that are someone monotonous. This blend however, changed throughout each third. Here's my review. Tabaquero Robusto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapaNolan Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm pretty curious about these (about as curious as I've been about a NC) but man those bands are...something. Also dislike the cellophane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 How are the draws on these? I know hamlet said that he had to loosen them up more than what he was used to because of the NC trend but are they more closed than regular NC?

luv2fly Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looking forward to trying one. Give it a fair shake. Hamlet is a wizard with tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know hamlet said that he had to loosen them up more than what he was used to because of the NC trend but are they more closed than regular NC? I found the Salomones to have a slightly tighter draw than most NC's, but not too tight. More like a typical Cuban draw. Haven't tried any of the other vitolas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
