Where'd you get them for $3.50? At that price I'd smoke a few :-)

Went to a small cigar event at the local B&M tonight. They had a rep there pushing Montecristos put was handing out the Ormar Ortez Maduro Robusto Grande. I was totally surprised at how good this "freebie" cigar was. Mine has a very easy draw (V-cut), the burn was even all the way down to the last inch and the flavor was good and throughout. I expected it to get harsh and maybe a little bitter at the end but it wasn't. We were also treated to a Scotch Tasting. It paired well with the Talisker 18 year Old and with the Laugvalin (The Distiller's Edition).

For what looks to be a fairly inexpensive cigar, this is definitely a smoker.

They look really good and not expensive, I may have to stop at JR's (since they are right here in DC) and pick up a 5'er

Seen these at a local B&M at lunch they wanted almost $7 for them, I had to pass.

Back in 06 burned a lot of these. When they were relatively unknown I was picking them up at Norfolk VA B&M's for under $2.35. As they became more and more common, I felt the quality start to slide. I've only had 2-3 the last couple years, but they have had thin, cracked wrappers, tight draws and a bitterness that I don't recall experiencing years ago.

Hey, have any of you had the OO Puro Maduro? It is a 6X54 and a complete Mexican Puro.
