Ritorno al la cheapo

I purchased a little pack of Toscano Originales. The Classicos are the ones of these I have smoked the most of and they have this smoky sweet flavor, like a date that you eat next to a campfire.

These are trippy little cigars. Scott @Chibearsv this is what you asked for. 

Maybe not a picture of my mug. Anyway these are a bit smoother than the Classico. About the same price. I am still getting about a 30 minute smoke per half. Cut them in half, because just do it. I am getting a lot of smoke for such a dry little thing. They may not be pretty. Toothy little dastardly the lot of them!

My fingers are still messed up from that fishing trip I took last month. I give these a thumbs up! A good change of pace cigar and a bit more approachable than the Classico, with a touch less of that sticky smoky date flavor, but interesting and tasty. I prefer these just a hair.

Excellent! That sticky date flavor is very off putting to me in any cigar but I had such low expectations of the Toscano Classico that I didn't mind it too much. I'm glad to hear that the version you tried now has that flavor toned down some. I've got to them a try. Cheers brother, I hope I can make the call tomorrow to join in.

I've loved Toscanos for years, the classicos like you, such an unassuming little cigar. They're something everyone should try at least once imo. Sticky date in spades like you say.

Enjoyed sticky dates from Coachella this morning. Love them.

As long as they still have the pits in them. I can't stand pitted dates.
