The Bucs are very good. The pryme's are overpriced and very mild imho. I like most of Bradley's stuff but I expect more than a Mac in a $10+ cigar.

Re: Looking for thoughts about the following....

I got one of the Buc Treasures form SeanGar and loved it. Its flavor is very unique; sort of like a salty soudough pretzel though. The cigar had none of the typical burn problems most Bucs suffer from; but it did have the typical tight draw and that is simply because they have soo much filler in them. I did a Dickman cut on the one I smoked which I think helped with the draw a lot.

I like the Treasures, smoked several different sizes and enjoyed them all. How many Costa Rican puros are there out there? Not cheap, and not at the top of my shopping list for a box, but I buy one or two whenever I hit my local shop (i.e., this afternoon).

Had one of the LE Pryme torps, I got it from Magno at the first VA herf. Started mild, but by half way picked up some more power and became a more interesting smoke. Again, not going to be a box purchase but a nice smoke.

I don't think you can go wrong with the Bucanero line. Quality stuff, but a tad expensive for my poor a$#.

Hey Jerry, if you go HERE it explains the Dickman cut, its an angled type of cut, but this will explain it.
