Picked up one on the advice of my tobacconist and let it set in the humi for about two weeks. WOW! I had not been a fan of Quesada due to a couple of bad Oktoberfest Uber's that despite being some of the prettiest cigars I have seen both had severe burn issues and the biggest stems I have ever encountered. Also I am not a fan of anything over 54ga. This cigar has redeemed Quesada in my book. The first thing I noticed on the pre draw was a spice on the tip of my tongue that lasted even after I was finished. Not a flavored spice like pepper or anything but just a spice. No particular flavor came through on my palate with this stick except for a little toastiness but this thing was so good I really had a hard time pacing myself. Also this cigar was beautifully made with a silky smooth wrapper with a decent amount of oil. Despite reading about a lot of burn issues others had encountered with this one mine burned perfectly throughout. I have smoked four more since the first and only had minor burn issues with one. Just bought a 30 pack and I am hoping I can be able to get some age on a few and see how they do over time. I have a feeling that when the weather warms up and my smoking increases that these will go faster than two dollar waffle irons at WalMart.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

This one was only okay in my book. I think they've done a much better job in the Espana...now that is a fantastic cigar. You should try some if you can find them.

Would you mind sharing where you ordered them from. :tiphat:

Yeah that is my thought as well. But there is a small part of me that's hoping he found a secret stash out there.
Love the Julio - of course, I also adore the Oktoberfest. i haven't had a bad one, but I also didn't smoke many of the Ubers (those sold quickly and aren't my favorite rg)
Espanas are almost always in stock here and we ship constantly. I am backordered on coronas at the moment - but we are taking names and expect them in the relatively near future.
Smoking a Fonseca 120 from the same group right now - yum!
