So I got a Box of 20 Cheap on Cigarbids for 19 bucks.. of Flor del Todo Churchill Maduro's

Am I in for a rude awakening?

Can't speak specifically to those cigars. I can say that when I first started I bought a bunch of Brocatus Toros from Cigars International for really cheap and they were horrible. But sometimes there are diamonds in the rough so maybe these will be for you.

I thought about picking some of these up when I first started. Then I read a review where the reviewer referred to these sticks as Flor del DooDoo... :-)

Eh.. try them. You might find them passable. Worst you have to lose is smoking one cigar you can't stand, at which point, you can always send the rest of the bundle off to hotreds or rrplascencia to send to the troops.

Ive read that before in places.. But then i Read this :

His cigars are outstanding, each with a complex, well-balanced flavor and aroma.

This is a classic "Cuban sandwich" cigar. The blend of Brazilian, Dominican and Nicaraguan leaf is the same makeup as that of Puros Indios cigars, except it’s comprised of mixed fillers - both long and short leaves. The wrapper is a moist, toothy, Ecuador-Colorado leaf. It’s medium-bodied in taste, with a pleasant, gratifying aroma, mouthwatering creamy, nutmeg taste, and super-smooth draw.

So RR Marketing Did there job and Sucked me in with that.

Moving this to Cigar Discussion because
a) they are not Cuban and
b) this is not a review

I bought a 2 for 1 deal of these from CI back when I first got into cigars. They are the worst cigar I've ever had. Dog crap wrapped with more dog crap. Horrible. But hey go ahead and buy some. Maybe your tastes are different than mine.

I bought a bundle of the naturals when I first got started. Not good, not bad either. They got shuffled to the bottom of my rotation as other cigars have come along. Now that they've had a goodly time boxed in the cooler, they're not bad for a cheap smoke - one you don't have to worry about leaving early - or to have as a yard gar.

All that being said, I would not purchase another bundle. There are much better options out there.

I've heard these referred to as "Flor del Turdo". I knew a guy who used to smoke the natural version , smelled like he was smoking a bar of soap . :-)
