Fireproof cigar.

My humi hovers around 62-65% humidity and I even dryboxed this cigar for 2 days before *attempting* to light it.

Nice looking smoke, pre-light draw was very tasty. Thought I was gonna have a winner. What flavor I did get was good, but after trying for 10 minutes to get the cigar burning I gave up and tossed it.

Oh well. NEXT!

I hope you give this stick a second chance. I've had them and love them! I have a box of the Toro's actually and I try spreading them everywhere because it seems that people don't give them a chance. The people I know who have tried these have also loved them. Give it another shot.

Doh! Can't see sigs on the mobile site, so I didn't realize he's the head honcho for PdR. I had to load the main site and bump his rep for excellent CS. :-)
Mario sent me one of these to try. I'll have to fire it up tonight.

Just finishing up this stick. Construction was a little sloppy. The wrapper itself looked nice (very oily), but the stick was lumpy and had a soft spot under the band. Went out right off the bat, needed a touchup right about the halfway point, and went out again when it hit the soft spot. Relit easily both times. Burn was decent otherwise, and produced a ton of smoke. Flavors were great, reminded me of a DPG Blue, with a little less spice.
Given that I smoked this pretty much right out of the mailbox (just got it from Mario yesterday), I'd buy these (and probably will).

I'm glad you liked it Jeff! I've been passing these around to everyone I can. In fact, I'm going to half to restock when I see a good deal out there. The HSG'd are good too.

I smoked the Robusto size awhile back. As you can see from my signature, I'm not a fan. It tunneled like no other cigar, went out twice, and didn't taste that good while lit.

[Reply]

Wow! That's great customer service...

Wow! I just read this thread and now I;m really excited to try the one in my humi. I have the PdR HSG in my humi as well. Both sound like they are worth a try. Any idea what MSRP is on these guys?
[Reply]

Thank you.. I just want to make sure that everyone has a great experience every time with my PDR's. So I'm putting it out there if you have any problems PM me with your addres and a discription of the problem and i will replace them right away.

But as you all know cigars are made by hand and they travel a long way from the tiny island of the Dominican republic to Miami then to your local B&b things can happen along the way.

Thanks Abe

Famous has the Oscuro toro 25 ct box for $155.99 ($172.50 retail), and the HSG for $164.99 ($182.50 retail). So, $6 and change per stick.
Mario sent me an HSG also. Looking forward to trying it.
