How are these cigars? And are they all different blends....Anthropology, Cranium, EMH, ect. I love Viajes, how do they compare?

My experience was with the Knuckledraggers, decent smokes but. Little too sweet for me.

I love the hell out of these!!! RoMa Craft comes in two main blends...Crommagnon and Aquitaine. I prefer the Cromagnon blend myself, but the Aquitaine is very good as well. Anthropology, Cranium, EMH, Knuckledragger, Atlatl, Mandible are the sizes in their line. I am also a Viaje fan, and Viaje has many more lines (Skull N Bones, Holiday Blend, Satori, HHG, Summerblends, Oro, Platino, Exclusivo) than RoMa Craft. I compare the Cromagnon line to the Exclusivo line. Bottom line...they are tasty as hell. I've been burning through a lot of these the past two months. When you see them...
GRAB THEM...they can be difficult to find.
:-)
My favorite in the entire line is the Cromagnon Anthropology (corona gorda)
:-) :-) :-) But I haven't had the Atlatl yet (have two 5ers enroute).
Here's the major difference...
Aquitaine: The cigar features a beautiful thick, oily
Ecuadorian Habano Ligero wrapper. Inside this beautiful wrapper are three much sought after different Nicaraguan long-fillers bound by a unique Cameroon binder.
Cromagnon: The cigar features a beautiful dark, oily
Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Inside this beautiful wrapper are three much sought after different Nicaraguan long-fillers bound by a unique Cameroon binder

Thanks Mac, you are about the most helpful cigar mother f***** I've ever run across. I know I don't post much but always value your opinions, bc they've been right on for the most part. Thanks brother!

Everything Mac said......but....all but one of those two lines that I've tried have all been rolled tight enough, I thought I was smoking dowels

I've still got to try some of these, they look really nice and I have noticed Mac going off about them all the time.

I smoked a Mandible awhile back. It was one of the ones before they got labels. While it wasn't a bad cigar it didn't do much for me. I'd smoke another one if offered, but I would never buy one.

I've only had the Anthropology, both wrappers. The Acquitane is good but I prefer the Cromagnon.

I've never had a RoMa Craft stick with a band.

I have had the CroMagnon (thanks to a box split done by Mac!) and found it to be a very good cigar. The ones that I had were very well constructed, produced a nice amount of smoke and were very flavorful.

The newer releases of the Intemperances have bands, the ones I received from the NC MAW from Jaso had bands, but the boxes of em I saw at the shop by my dad's place had no bands.
And to me the Intemperance BA Envy has been the best of the bunch I tried so far. Literally made it 3 puffs in before I went to the shops email to dig up the contact info to get these in the shop.

Worth a look if you are interested in the RomaCraft line is the Intemperance liga as well. It comes in EC (Ecuador Connecticut) and BA (Brazil Arapiraca). I have tried both the EC and BA and prefer the BA. The Envy (short perfecto) is my choice vitola.

Completely forgot about the Intemperance...thanks Bear/Jeff. These are also tasty.

Cromagnon knuckle dragger is the only one I've smoked, and I LOVED it. I need to get more, but funds are not available.

I feel you, man. I hate when my taste in cigars (and whiskey) is overshadowed by the reality of my budget.

One of my favorite cigar companies. Skip Martin and company are doing great things at Romacraft cigars.
