I'm literally smoking my first HE right now, the short corona. LOVE IT! Really great cigar, I think I might end up preferring this to the CyB, it'll be close, and it's nice I don't have to choose :) I find these more peppery through the nose, and a tad stronger, though perhaps not as sweet as the CyB.

I've had 2-3 of the sizes, all were excellent. Definitely the best new regular release cigar I have had in the last year. Everyone I have gifted them to has enjoyed them as well!

Very well deserved, this is one of my new favorite sticks. Glad I got a box when they first came out, they will be even harder to find now.

I have smoked a robusto and toro and they are terrific. I have a lonsdale waiting for comparison.

These have become one of my favorite smokes

Just ordered a box of lonsdales from CigarKing, free shipping and $30 off coupon... The Herrera Esteli is a great smoke

Great cigar. I've burnt through four of them. Each one split and literally made a *POP* sound while burning - but the flavors were great.

Congratulations on the rating. The cigar is definitely worthy of it.

I smoked through a fiver of The belicosos. This is a unique cigar for sure. Smoking speed makes more of a difference with this cigar than with any other I've smoked. Smoke it fast, and it's just another stick. Smoke it slow and it's a $15 stick.

This is coming from a goat-palate, but I can tell you that the nuances are considerably pronounced when you take your time. 2 cents.

This has become one of my favorites bar none. The spice on the smaller sizes is awesome and the bigger sizes give a more creamy, toasty profile. Just awesome cigars. I picked up 2 boxes when we got our last shipment, 1 corona, 1 toro to go with my lonsdale box I got a few months back. Just love em!

what are your thoughts on the HE Toro vs. the HE Piramide? I like the Toro, but never even thought about trying the piramide until it got the higher ratings than the other vitolas in CA

To me they are very similar John. The differences, if any, are so negligible I don't know if you could tell a difference. The sizes are so similar I don't really think it matters. It isn't like going from a toro to a corona, where there will be some pretty big differences.
