Bands would be awesome. I love these but drives me crazy when I have to figure out what it is in my humidor.
CroMagnon Vs Aquitaine?
- Thread starter sean
- Start date
They look really good, Skip showed them to me not too long ago. Clean & simple...
As far as draw problems go. I honestly haven't had any...
Tease...

Updating shortly. I have them.
How much time do you have? :wink:
between 1-2 hours.
It's a hard choice for me. Different days I 'm in the mood for different vitolas... I tend to smoke more of the Knuckle Draggers over the Anhtro, but the wrapper really pop's in the Anthro size, so If your more of that smaller RG lover you may want to go with that one.
Yeah, the draw problems were my fault
I over humidified them...
After dry boxing these babies were perfect! The draw was still firm but smoke production was borderline chewy. Don't even get me started on flavor!
I'm burning through the Aqui now and and it is really good.
However, the Cromag gets the nod from me. The ramped up strength and pronounced flavors really do it for me.
The second third of the cromag is utterly rich and creamy.
The final is like smoked butter if that makes sense.
IMHO, if you're an all flavor guy go Aquitaine but, if your a flavor/strength guy go Cromag. If it depends on the day or, for some of us, hour get them both!
I'd say get a fiver of each to test the waters for yourself. These are both great smokes. The money will be well spent.
I thought I had this all figured out...a fiver of the cromagnon cranium and then a fiver of another boutique brand...now with your description of the Aquitaine, I feel I have to try that too. I think you've got the right idea though and I'll grab a five of each.Yeah, the draw problems were my fault

Will I be able tell them apart if order a 5 of cromagnon and a 5 of Aquitaine in the same vitola (from Podman cigars)?

Ask him to put something to tell the difference. But I think it was mentioned also that there's a visual difference.I thought I had this all figured out...a fiver of the cromagnon cranium and then a fiver of another boutique brand...now with your description of the Aquitaine, I feel I have to try that too.

Great to hear! As a hand-made product, there will always be issues here and there, but I can honestly tell you we do everything possible to catch any issues we have in the factory and we do whatever it takes to correct any issues that do hit a customer or retailer.
This year, we are building a new escaparate, drying room and a new cold room for packaging to address the humidity issues during the rainy season. With our current limitations, we go so far as to weigh every cigar to identify potential problems.
Thanks again for all of the positive and real feedback.
