Viejo Tradicion

[Saully]

I picked up one of these the other day and didn't have very high expectations, since I had never heard of them and questioned the source as well. WAS I AMAZED! Honduran, with lots of strength, but without feeling like I was kicked in the ass by the time I finished it. Nice aftertaste, too, that lasted until the morning. In fact one of the best in that regard.

This was in a countertop humidor at the convenience store, and after I smoked it I learned that it's made by Swishers. Sounds disgusting, I know, but it was awesome.

I don't know if I'm brave enough to try one. :scratchhe

 

[Saully]

If I can handle it, anybody can.

Bumped to see if anyone else has ever seen these. I was totally amazed, just as if I drank a great beer and found out it was from Anheiser Busch.

What does the band look like Saully?

I think it's black with red lettering, I'll see if I can find it at home, or maybe I'll go buy another one today.

Here's a pic of them in the box. I had the maduro.

OK. I haven't seen those before. Wasn't sure. Sounded a little familiar but this is something different.

They don't look bad I wonder what you paid for it. Also wonder if the big name brand sought out a master blender that others use to try and compete.

It was $3.99 and I've found them online for $49.95 per box of 20. According to some site I found the blend was done by Nestor Plasencia. Couldn't tell what factory, though.
