La Aurora Preferidos "Platinum"

[commonsenseman]

Just smoked one of these and I have to say it was totally unimpressive. Burn was ok, but not great. It seemed almost tasteless, there was some flavor that I sensed a couple times, but as soon as I noticed it, it was gone. Overall, this was a huge letdown. For the price these things should be amazing.

Anyone else have a similar experience? Or better yet, does anyone really like these?

I feel the same way. I don't think that the blend lends well to the Cameroon wrapper and just leaves it flat.

I have tried all of the Preferidos, except for the gold...which I got sitting in my humi right now. I agree with what you said though, All that I had tried were basically just flat and left me unimpressed....except for the Blue, which I believe is the Connecticut? I really enjoyed that one though. That is why I got the others to try.

I'm glad I waited to get these when I did. When I was on vacation in Las Vegas during the past Christmas vacation, one shop was selling these for about $25 bucks a pop! Even though it was in a casino. I sure as hell wouldn't pay $25 bucks for a cigar that doesn't have any taste. I'd pay the MSRP...maybe a little more for the Connecticut again, but for the others. I probably wouldn't buy them again.
