I would recommend them. The Habano is my favorite and I actually just finished smoking one. I've also tried the connecticut but it was a little to mild for my liking. They are all very well constructed and burn very cool in my experience. When they first came out they looked gimmiky(sp?) to me, but after trying them I would definately say to give a try.

They are neet, I haven't met a person yet who didn't like the Habano best of the three. They have a plesent light, nice smoke and never get bitter at the end. I like them alot.

I've been meaning to try one of these. Just haven't seen them in any shops yet. Will definitly pick up the habano though, as pretty much everyon says it's the best of the 3

I tried the Connecticut 466 Torpedo. It tasted okay, but it smoked hot and was awkward to hold. Didn't last nearly as long as claimed, either. For an idea of how fat these cigars really are, here's a shot of the Nub next to a churchill:

I had the Cameroon and it was a pleasant experience......a very well constructed cigar for a decent price.

I've tried the Habano and the Cameroon, and the Habano was by far the better smoke for my pallet.
I enjoyed it, but to be honest I feel a little bit like a schmuck for paying damn-near $5 for such a short stick. I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things it's a fair price, but it still feels a bit wrong to pay that much for a short smoke.

I will definitely pick one or more up when I visit back to the states end of the month. If not then I will when I'm home for good.

I had the same experience with the same cigar. My smoke lasted around a 30 minutes. I wouldn't buy it again. Although I want to try the Nub Habano when I find it. The Nubs are going like hotcakes around here. They sell out in a day or two.

Oh yea, my bud says they make him anxious. Seems they are so short that in his head he feels the whole time like it's about time to put it down. They are a bit wierd to hold onto so short a stick.

So I tried one of the habanos yesterday, the 466 to be exact. It was a a tasty smoke however 66 gauge was too big to comfortably hold in the mouth. Next time I think I'll try either the torpedo or the 58 gauge.

I smoked the 460 cami last night, it lasted for about 35-40min. It was a OK smoke......little on the mild side.

I had the 460 Cameroon yesterday, I was not overly impressed but I do want to try the Habano.

The habano is BY FAR the best of the 3 blends. IMHO - it's close to a VSG in strength. The connecticut is advertised as the Mildest of the 3, but I think the cameroon is. All 3 are flavor packed right from the start, burn very clean, and draw well. For the inexpensive price, they are top notch!

I have one of these from a recent box pass. Think I'll fire it up tonight.

The only one I haven't tried is the cameroon, but I've got one in the humi that I'll have to try soon. We'll see how it goes.

I like the torpedos because they do seem to be easier to hold in your mouth and are much much easier to cut.

Okay so finally got around to firing one of these bad boys up. I smoked the Cameroon version. It tasted good, nice construction, but the thing got alost too hot to hold onto. The smoke wasn't hot just the cigar. I probably would not buy any myself.
