It's got a tough road to hoe to surprise me but I hope it does.

Can’t help, why do I have the feeling this is bound for doom... ?

As for the Favoritos, I‘ve had the odd one giving a CoRo the literal run for its money. @NSXCIGAR if you haven’t had one yet, I’d wholeheartedly suggest give them an open-minded try.

I tried one of my Favoritos tonight. It was almost 2 grams over official weight but super loose draw. It smoked well, but as with most short fillers I've had mainly strong tobacco with a tiny bit of twang. Probably best short filler cigar I've had, but that's not saying much. I'd give it somewhere between 2 and 3 out of 5. Maybe 3/5 for being an interesting change.

       *Agreed:  the Favoritos, while reputedly handmade and robusto size are VERY loosely filled and full of empty air.  I found I got much more satisfaction out of the original 40 ring gauge regular Quintero productions.

     *Well you know cigar tobacco is highly absorbant.  Are you sure you weren't storing your smokes in the garage or something, where it picked up those aromas and such??

We were having a bit of mirth describing this marca as a yard cigar. Agreed that sitting down for one out of 25 that surprises or competes is simply not worth the 24 other sit downs.
