Entubar?

[StocktonJohn]

These sound really good but odd. Anybody tried them? Opinions?

 

[Ahmed]

i havent yet but as you said they seems to be very intresting stuff. i need to see more opinions on them

 

[ciggy]

Never even heard of them.:scratchhe

 

[SergeantStogie]

I really want to try them. Might be a gimmick but I haven't heard a single bad thing about them

 

[whodeeni]

Very, Very, Good! If you like big long smokes, (usually not my
preference btw....) go for the Double Corona... The quad Maduro's
need time to rest before smoking imo.... (probably 3-6 mo's) but
the Natural's are ready to go ROTT!

 

[CigarNut]

Agreed -- these are fantastic cigars. I had the Corona Macho and some of my friends have had the larger sticks. Lots of flavor, good amount of smoke and they burn well.

 

[Nickerson]

They are made by Berger Argenti. They are a newer company I believe. I was lucky enough to be gifted 2. I had one and it is a pretty good cigar. Worth trying.

 

[La Chupacabra]

I smoked about half a dozen. They are a solid cigar. The foot band and the little dinky sticking out is wierd, but the cigar is SOLID.

They are worth trying!

ENTUBAR: Filler, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic; Binder, Nicaragua; Wrapper, Ecuador (Desflorado). The cigar line is a tribute to the time-honored Cuban cigar making technique called ENTUBAR. Each deeply aged leaf is rolled into itself creating delicate scrolls of rich flavorful tobacco. The ENTUBAR scrolls are firmly bunched, creating a superior cigar of exceptional complexity and draw.

What’s immediately evident to a cigar smoker upon first seeing an ENTUBAR cigar is the ligero scroll (bunch); its 22/64” in diameter and it extends 3/8” beyond the trimmed foot of the cigar. This method of making this cigar line is extremely time consuming and labor intensive, but it produces what I think a perfect cigar should be…a cigar of unparalleled flavor and complexity…an effortless draw…a perfect conical burn and ash.

I got a 5er of the torpedo size and smoked one. Good flavors, but it completely exploded on me about 2 inches in. I smoked it ROTT, so it might have been a bit dry.

This was a very big smoke - at my normal pace it would have lasted me two hours, but it wasn't quite interesting enough to keep me going that long, and it was in such sad shape that I put it out halfway. Not a lot of complexity, but the flavor was very good.

I gifted one so I have three more. One of these days when (if???) it gets warmer, I'll toast up another one and see if I have better luck.

 

[perezam]

The smoke was OK, nothing great about it. Thought it was lacking in flavor.

 

[Zen Cigar Man]

Didn't care for them at all. They look cool though...

 

[mwlabel]

Jjon bombed one to me, still waiting to spark it up. If it warms up a little bit here, I think I may have to put it to fire!

 

[unfairtoast]

tried my first one as they have been stocked at my local b&m. It's okay, price point a bit high for what you get, but it does last a long time. A LONG TIME.

The wrapper on mine blew up early on and looked tacky.

 

[COYOTE JLR]

I like them a lot, but I think they're priced a bit high. I wrote a review on one a while back. I definitely think they're worth trying. I pick them up on the rare occasion when I see them on sale.

I'm with you on this opinion. Smoked several and they didn't do anything for me...I love the look of this cigar, so I really wanted them to, but my experience has been the same. Worth trying a couple of them, though, it's cool for a different experience.

 

[CigarPointe]

Decent, lacking flavor IMO. At this price point we have much better. My shop doesn't and prob will never carry it.

I was fortunate to be in Portland (met up with some stand up BOTLs) when there was a B&A event going on. One of the cigars was the Entubar. I talked to Al Argenti for a bit and he showed himself to be a really nice guy that loves what he does. I came home with a few of his cigars and lit up the Entubar. I have to admit that I didn't have high expectations since there is a certain size, flavor profile that I tend to stick to. I was pretty surprised. It was a pretty good cigar and some what (emphasis on some) reminded me of Drew's T52.

Overall, low expectations...surprised me, pretty good smoke, and will smoke again once in awhile.

EDIT: Turns out, Al uses Stalk Cut as well.

Also met Al Argenti at a local San Diego event - very nice guy. I smoked an entubar & one from his "mooch" line. I enjoyed the entubar very much, decent flavors & good construction.

 

[Hayblet]

I'm gonna be on the lookout for these now ^ ^:timebomb:
