Drew Estate Silceno and their Early Years selection.

^ I have a few of the OR REOs from back in the day. You oughta let me send them to you. I would need an addy though ...

The original CAO Criollo was good. I had one left over when I started smoking again, and it aged well.

Are the new reo anything like the old ones??? I bought a bundle that is resting up.

The Aurora Preferido Cameroon should still be available, I bought a 5er of it just a month or two ago. Although they are pretty pricey these days. Singles are 14$ on one of the sites.

It’s quite recent, but….
The Sobremesa Short Torpedo..
Saka made it as a special release just for CI and this place.

He did the same with the Short Robusto, which he made/still makes? For the well known place, which is the parent of the other auction place.
No more short torps here.
The well known place still has short robs!!??

Come on Saka! Crank out some Short Torps for cbid again!

Makes sense. That’s about 10 years earlier

I love em too.
I bought lots, but am down to 20 or so short torps.
Had to switch over to the short rob from the other place, and have a decent stash of those, but still like the short torp more.

I pretty much can’t afford buying the “regular” Sobremesa line, and glad I don’t need to.
Every now and then the other place will sneak in a lot of 10 boxes of Mi Querida Short Gordos, which is when I buy those.

Excellent smoke.

Although I tried a couple of different vitolas, I didn’t think much of the Sobremesa’s. They weren’t bad but for whatever reason, not good enough for me to want to chase. So even though you wrote glowingly about them, just never bought any. Probably should have at least tried a 5er. Oh well….

I saw a new release of Cupidos... prolly order a fiver to check them out...

One of my all-time favorites:
La Aurora cien años

Ya well we all have different palates.
I’m a huge fan of both the Sobremesa and the Mi Querida lines.
The Brulee didn’t do much for me.
Pretty sure I will like the Red Meat Lover as well, once I get my hands on some.

Given that I like Papas Fritas and LP No.9 Coronets, I think I need to get a hold of Saka’s Polpetta offering soon.

I bought REO's back in 2020. Ive left them in my humidor during all this time. I'd have to say, these are GREAT cigars. I'm glad i bought 3 of the 20 packs.

The original Tatuaje Verocu Lado Occidental (West Side), and Tatuaje Verocu No. 2 Zona del Este (East Side) that was released in 2007 in cabs.

Todos are very good

The Sobremesa left me cold too. Really well made and a good smoke but nothing that really grabbed me. I do like some of the Torano offerings… never ran into any issues with them but different strokes and all that
