I promise I'm not trying to pimp my own company's product on here, but I just got to sample the new 2005 SS figurado size (not available yet) and it is nice. Seems fuller bodied than the other 3 sizes. My friend smoked the new 6x60 size and couldn't finish but about half of it. As soon as we get some in I will send you guys some to sample.

Thanks for thinking of us. You know you have to get about 330 of them so we can all try them, right......

shouldn't be a problem...hah

I didn't even know you guys made cigars until I read about an interview with your company's CEO. I got the impression they are typically a medium-type blend, is that correct?

They started off as a mild cigar, the ELR, made by Fuente since '94. In the past few years they started exploring Nicaragua and stepped up the strength. The Nicaraguan Reserve is a medium bodied smoke at most, although after seeing what most of you guys smoke, would probably think it is mild. The 2005 Special Selection is a step up in strength, and the RyR Serie Y is their fullest bodied smoke, with 2.5 leaves of ligero. They recently beefed up the 2005 SS a bit and it has a lot more flavor. Most of the guys in my shop here smoke the 2005 and the RyR because they tend to like the stronger cigars.
