anyone try the Gran Habano Azteca?

[WhiteWolfIndulgence]

Had my first one today. Was pretty damn good actually. I expected a huge power bomb in this cigar as even the corojo (red, I think?) and green labels have strength but for me, this was balanced and had great flavor.

I rather enjoyed the "Green Lable" and thought it was very decent for the dollar however I am not a fan of Corojo so I'm balking from trying this one.

This cigar has Mexican and Panamanian Tobacco in it - yet I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Here is my review - click here.

yeah, the green label and red one were just...not that great for me. Guess I should post a review in the proper section huh?

Funny you should ask, just grabbed a box of the Azteca Jaguars. Gonna let 'em rest for a while but I'm looking forward to firing one up. If this new blend is anything like the original blend I'll be real happy. Fingers crossed.

Have not been able to lay my hands on one yet.:cbig:

Definitely intrigued!

I pulled the trigger on a bundle of the Vintage 2002's to split with my brother. I figure at $2/stick I can't go wrong.

This a fantastic stick. I got bombed one a while ago and now have a Robusto bundle and a 5er of the Churchill on the way over the pond.

I had a Jaguar @ IPCPR last year and loved it! I got a few from a great BOTL who had them in his area. I had one of those Jaguars last night. It was good, but not as good as I had remembered. But deffinately worth the price to me @ about $6-7.

Yeah that's what concerns me. For whatever reason they had to change from the original ICPR blend and tweaked it a few times before they were satisfied with the current blend. The release was delayed for months because of it. I'm thinking maybe there was a problem getting the same leaf?

 

[thebayratt]

I know the ones that came out and are for sale are close to the "original" but not quite. Seemed like the ones @ IPCPR were a little more full flavored to me. The flavors were more pronounced... But its still a good stick IMO for about $6-7.

I recently had one that was given to me at an event, it was not a regular size that I have seen sold (small pointy perfecto). Tasted great, surprised me as I was not expecting much. Great draw, razor burn, greaty smoky (like campfire wood) smell and taste. Must be the mexican san andres tobacco.

..... Must be the mexican san andres tobacco.

Some people knock that tobacco.... i like it a good bit!!
I think the Liga Privada uses the same type of wrapper... The "original" one I had reminded me of a LP No9, just cheaper. Like a generic LP No9.

The Liga #9 use a connecticut broadleaf. I know its different because I have recently become a LP whore (for lack of a better word). Honestly, the LP 9 and T52 have become my favorite sticks. In the process of doing a vinotemp to humidor conversion (using the drawers from Chasidor) and already have 5 boxes of LP sticks waiting...

Hmmm.... then I must have it mistaken with another maduro wrapped in the same leaf that I like....
Thanks for the input!
