La Rosa Especial

[alanf]

I just received an email from JR Cigars stating that the LA ROSA ESPECIAL is on sale for $29.95 a box. Has anyone tried one of these? Good deal? Bad deal?

I used to smoke these in the late 90's early 2000's and they were a strong but single dimensional stick. For $1.50 a stick they would be pretty good if your in the Full range of cigar smokers.

I think this is a pretty good deal. I have had the old la rosa especials, they were wrapped with tissue paper. I enjoyed them very much. I also have had the new ones which are the ones on sale now. They are a good solid smoke. Nice woodsy flavor, with sweet tobacco and nut undertones. Some of the ones I've smoked have had construction problems. I find them to be more medium than full bodied. For thirty bucks, I would give them a try.
