I posted a thread about dark oily maduro wrapper cigars. And I was browsing thru the holts catalog and I seen a cigar called the Black Sheep. How are these? Any thought on their taste as a dark maduro?

At $ 21.95 for a bundle of 20...not sure!! There are some cheap gems out there. Might be a diamond in the rough.

I seem to remember a friend trying one and having his lips turn black. Might be a dye job on those.

Purchased some, and they are not very good, and are, indeed, dyed in the wool. :-)

I posted a link to those in your other thread as a joke. They are drippy maduros all right, drippy with dye covering sh!t tobacco.

Until then I can't say that I had ever even heard of them

i carnt realy coment as i have never had one but i have a feeling that '' oil spill'' is the right word but for 20 odd dollers just get them to try and its no big loss if thay suck

Good enough guys thanks! Guess it would be too good to be true. I seen these from Taboo.. These look tasty, and hopefully legit.

What ya guys think on these

Sooner or later you are going to have to bite the bullet and buy something. On your cigar journey, you will find smokes you like and ones you don't. No matter how many cigars you ask about, most if not all will have those that like them and those that don't
:-)

Buy 'em, and get a small cooler for the smokes you don't care for. When it tops out...send them to the troops. I know that sounds bad on the surface, but believe me, they appreciate all stogies. A lot of the guys smoke cigars. The trick is finding a source that can get them delivered to the folks who are in the field.

I have a few friends that are in the sand now, thats a good idea. I seen the troops forum here and I seen a few guys send sticks to them.

And yeah I will have to pull the gun pnoon like you said...

Not a good visual Tom! :-)

Not the "visual" I am worried about, Bill. :-) :-)

Those are well blended, well made cigars, abeit they are mild. Not sure what you mean by "legit" - if you mean dyed wrappers, they don't appear to be enhanced from the ones I've smoked.

For my money at Taboo, I prefer the Special Forces Original, which is a much stronger, fuller, spicier blend. I will also admit that I do like Costa Rican Maduro wrappers which is what the SF Original uses.

Both are good cigars, just depends on what you like.

So elegantly put Tom!! :-)

If you were paying attention,you would have seen a damn site more than "a few guys send sticks" to them.

It is the biggest and most important ongoing operation going on here.

Thanks for noticing.

/\ Relax haha, I never clicked on those links much because I dont have any to send myself. SO I never took interest in reading them until I was able to send some.

Brilliant. Talk smack to an admin. That should get you far.

Read more. Post less. Take some time to learn about what this place is all about. :-)


haha :-)
