Anyone here have some experience with this brand? I did a search and didn't turn up much aside from a review from Outlaw God (great review BTW). I've been eyeballing a box of coronas on C-Bid. Any info is appreciated.

I have smoked a few and IMHO they were great, can't remember the vitola, but notes of chocolate and coffee..a bit of sweetness, were really tasty!

Sounds right up my alley. Just put in a lowball bid on the corona box. Not sure how high I'm willing to go to win it though.

Haven't tried them yet, but I had heard good things from the net so I pulled the trigger on a box of the Holy Grails on the devil site. I'll let you know what I think when they arrive.

I did not care for the one I had. Just wasn't in my wheelhouse. Nothing wrong with the cigar just not for me.

Really enjoyed the few I've had.
Just have a problem justifying the retail price.

Devil Site sniping will get you what you need. :-)

Construction ain't bad either.

I've had the Lionheart (robusto) and Clermont (corona) and really enjoyed both of them. The devil site usually has a box of either one in weekly rotation. The bidding usually gets up to $80-ish for them which is a fair price IMNSHO. I lucked out on a box of Clermonts before the holidays for $64. In summary: a tasty cigar that the devil site has boxes of regularly so you don't need to worry that if you don't get THIS one you won't get another chance.

Edit: If you want, PM me your address and I'll send you two to try. That way you don't end up with a box of smokes you don't care for.

I've tried the Holy Grail and the Knights Templar, and I really enjoyed both of them. Nice flavors with a good dose of pepper and they can be had for very reasonable prices.

I found them a bit on the light end of medium with a mostly cedar profile. Nothing particularly exciting but a decent solid cigar. For me it's a good cbid value but I wouldn't run out and pay retail.

If I werent honest I would be trying to get in on that try 2 offer. I agree though good smokes on the upper end of the medium body spectrum.

I've enjoyed every size I've smoked. Great cigar if you buy them from the devil site at the right price. I doubt I'd pay full retail though. Nice complexity and spice. 5'ers can be had cheap if you keep a sharp eye.

I don't care for them at all. AJ has only produced a few cigars I don't like. RP Fusion, Morro Castle and Ava Maria are 3 I'll never smoke again.

I totally agree. I got mine from C-Bid, and honestly found them disappointing. I thought they were lighter and pretty monotone in terms of flavor.

I enjoyed the 5er of Lionhearts (box-press) that I had. Would I seek them out? No. But they were a nice change of pace stick for me. :-)
