LOL..."Chacun son gout"!
I really enjoy ligero, incredibly complex and flavourful...

I learned to love the ligero back when I was smoking cigs. They had the "ump" I craved.
When I gave up on the smokes, I began to see em as powerhouses too - so I only smoked them after having had smoked a cigar previous.
For some reason lately, I am really enjoying them. To be smoked/enjoyed slowly for sure - but man some are real yummy. That Kristoff for example - yum. Another one that I have come to love is 601 la bomba. Yum lol!!
Just don't smoke quickly :).

It was verrrrry smoky, slight pepper, pretty tasty but not really complex at all. I did smoke it to the nub if that means anything to ya :)
cheers bud :beer1:
I was with you yardie - didn't much care for them either right off. But I am telling you, these things age well!! Very well :).
The 5" is my favorite.
It means to me at least, that now and again, complexity can be excused if your loving on the taste - come to think of it... I think that's how I ended up dating a lover of mine for so long lol! Sure she was one dimensional, but it was a lovely dimension for a year or two :).
I was given a 'bundled' cigar by my Monger to try out, it was a 'Batey'.
Can't find a whole helluva lot of information on this particular brand...however from what I could glean from the interwebz it appears to be a Canadian produced stick.
At ~$5.00 a stick, one can't really expect too much, right...? That being said it by no means a horrible stick either...I dare say it's much better than a 'Quorum' and pretty much on par with a 'Dominica'.
Would I take this over a Monte #2 or a DR RyJ Piramide...? @#$% no.

I smoked one a year ago a Batey Casa 6" x 40
I thought it needed to be aged a while more.
Seemed like it had maybe a chance of being more than it was.

Just opened the foil wrapper on a box of 5 year old R&J Cazadores and am looking forward to a treat in a couple of hours. : )
