Where's the beef?

After smoking a #1 maduro (super fine cigar) I ordered the #3 box with the 5 #2 tubes. #3's have been plugged (4 out of 6). Inexcusable for this price point. Those that were not plugged, tasted fine, though a bit too mild and single dimensional.
#2 tubes are closer to the fine #1's, but still not worth their price tag.
If you just have to have a La Aurora, go for the #1 maduro Pricey, but very nice. Skip the tubes and the #3's
I would make another choice. Too many really good cigars out there that are better and less costly.

a guilty pleasure

This is a uniquely good cigar. so much flavor, and yet so smooth from start to finish. very mild after taste, not strong or bitter. Lets you enjoy the entire experience.

Not your average premium cigar!

These have been in my humidor for at least 10 months. I just finished no. 3 and they are consistant. Beautifully constructed perfecto and you know you have a well made cigar as soon as you clip the end off. Start-up brings a rush of flavor and it just keeps getting more intense (like a perfecto shape is suppose to do). Not sure why but it brought back memories of the old Water St. Bridgeport "Top Stone Cigars" from te 60's. These are strong, heavy and earthy. Not for everyone but well worth a try.

these cant be top'ed!!

I recieved a box of these baby's today and i am finishing one now.!! I have been smoking aurora's for quite a few years and they just keep getting better and better. The Ruby's are a TOP shelf class A cigar, second to no cigar you can compare to it. I am 50 year's old and have been smoking premium cigars for 25 of them i'd put these ruby's up against anything i have smoked. Including Opus X...Dave. R.

BEAUTIFUL & TASTY

Beautiful color, shape and construction on this Dominican perfecto with Camaroon wrapper. It draws and burns perfectly, giving a big blast of peppery, woody flavors. A medium-bodied cigar, it has a nice mellow creamy finish. Rated 90 by Cigar Insider in April 2000, these will continue to be a staple in my humidor.
