What is everyone's opinion on the house blends? I received a shipment today of the Cuban Label, and have tried a few of the others. I'm looking for a reasonably priced everyday cigar, in addition to splurging on a few highly rated cigars. The Cuban label I had this evening seemed very good. Is it because anything tastes better than a cigarette to me right now, or are they actually pretty decent. Any suggestions on a few good cigars around the same price range? Mike

i've only tried the brazilian and thought it was fantastic. certainly want to try them all.... unless there are any that the posters here would have people steer clear of.

i should point out that i have tried the cameroon, but it only lasted a few minutes and wrapper came unwrapped. had to pitch it. thought it was tasty for that short time.

I had a cameroon label and thought it was good. I did not experience any issues with it coming apart. Who makes the house blends? Are they from a known company?

i think the reason it came apart was because it was pre cut by the person who gifted to me. it may have been that way for a while. it started coming apart at the head.

I think they are all produced by a different factories. I know the corojo label is made by Don Pepin, which is super cool. I haven't tried any of them yet but I think its about time. I would like to get the corojo, cuban, and brazilian labels with my next order, but there aren't any robustos of the latter two in stock.

I can honestly say the Brazilian Label took me by suprise. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but it really is a flavor bomb, pretty good construction and burn too.

I'm going to have the Corojo churchill today. So far I really like the Blue, Corojo, and the Brazillian.

i like the Brazilian as well. I hear good things about the Cuban

if you like Cameroon wrappers give those guys a shot. some claim they are some of the best tasting cameroons on the planet.


and they age well.

The red is good if you like more full bodied cigars, and the blue is good for a lighter smoke. Those are my favs.

I do believe you're right...I love most of the house blends. Even the purple was good for a mild smoke. My favs were probably the red, blue, brazilian, cuban...cammie was right up there. Corojo was OK, but not on the same level.

The house labels are legit. +1 for the cameroon. I've had mixed exp with the cuban label. Had one in the morning with some coffee and it was a great smoke. Had a 2nd one a week later because of the good experience I had with the other one and it was not as good.

The corojo label reminds me of the old original version of the Padilla Achilles with less spice. Not a fan of the Blue or the Purple. come to think of it not a fan of the red either. Never had the brazilian. Might as well get a sampler lol

The only one I've had is the Brazilian, and it was a really good cigar. I've heard good things about all of the others. As you can see, just about everyone here raves about them, lol. I think I might pick up a sampler and try them all.

I tried a Brazillian label tonight and I was extremely dissapointed... It had just shy of 6 months in my humi.. Burn was extremely uneven, smoke was plentiful (which i like) but my god it was harsh. It seemed to have an extreme spice and harshness to it. I don't know it I just got a bad one or what, but i didn't think they were supposed to be spicey. Anyone else had a similar experiance?
