I received a CBID shipment today of two boxes of the Torano Noventa robustos. These were some serious coin a few years ago, but they were basically dumping them last week for $49.50 a box (25). The one I am smoking tonight is well made and has quite a bit of heft to it. It is well packed for sure and has a good draw and good amount of smoke. I am having some trouble describing how it tastes - it reminds me of a jacked up Nub Habano. The Noventa is a habano x 2, with a habano wrapper and binder. Despite its Nicaraguan makeup, it doesn't really have that typical Nicaraguan zing (pepper) you would expect. I am guessing that has been aged or fermented out of it for the most part. I wouldn't describe it as being complex, but the base flavor is hearty and is surprisingly creamy for a smoke with this much medium-full body. I could see that it might not have the mass appeal they may have been shooting for, but overall, I am digging it, particularly at the bargain basement price of just under $2 a stick.

Just got my order confirmation......nothing too exciting but 60 cigars for $ 49 with shipping? Tough to beat that for troop support. Our local Guard unit is gonna have a nice little care package.

Won a box of Diesel Unlimited for $50 and a 10pk of Torano Exodus Silver for $25

If for some reason the Diesel doesn't look or taste right to ya.. I can defiantly get it off your hands.. I'd even pay for the shipping, just to help you move it.:-)

I just spent 5 minutes there, and have $75 in bids out... Hope I don't win all of these or I may be single and homeless soon.

I wished they used USPS priority when shipping since it takes a full week to get shipments (I'm just complaining because I'm on the West Coast)
[Reply]

I wish they would let me pick up instead of shipping. They won't let you though, I think because they overcharge a small amount on shipping to make up a little on their loses.

Got my shipment of the Gurkha Cigarnivore IV sampler in yesterday...bid on them before I found out that they were mostly hype. I hope I enjoy some of them, I'll post pics when I get home from....um..you know.

Never had a Gregorio II fatboy but got a fiver for $7. Well well worth it. So much so that I bid on another 3 5ver's and won them for $7 a 5ver.

I hope the rest of them are half as good as the first two I had.
