Thanks for the review.

I've only tried the churchill's after some rest but I thought they were a decent smoke.

Response from CI:

David,

Thank you for submitting your feedback regarding this cigar. I’m sorry you did not enjoy this cigar. I will submit your feedback to our inventory department. ((Read: This will make its rounds in the entire office)) While we had it in inventory, the Petersen had a solid reputation as a flavorful, toasty medium bodied cigar. ((Read: We needed something to stuff our brown bags with, and we didnt want to part with something that was halfway decent)) Of course, it may not be to everyone’s liking ((Read: We have lawsuits pending regarding deaths related to this cigar)) and for that reason we always advise that not every stick will be to everyone’s liking. I hope you did enjoy the free promotional items that reps had offered you in the past. ((Read: Who wuvs ya baby?)) Given the circumstances I would be happy to extend to you a $2 pro-rata credit based on the value paid for this cigar. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. ((Read: Get outta here kid, ya bother me!))

Thank you!

John K - CI

Stay away from the belicosos. Discontinued for a reason and you're not missing out if you don't buy some.

Yeah the belicoso is what I had. Why were they discontinued?

I agree, I liked these. I have a box of the Belicoso (natural though, didn't know they had made maduro wrap) and thought they were a good mild to medium smoke. I lean towards a full bodied smoke, but this was a great car trip cigar, and good for giving to noobs and people that like milder sticks. Definitely sorry they stopped making them.

Good review though, this is the first time I have heard anyone say a stick tasted like a cracked up hooker wrapped in plastic, laying dead in a burning house filled with manure.

This is the best review of a cigar I've ever read. You almost had me crying. Those CA guys should take lessons from you.

[JAK]

That was one of the more entertaining reviews I have read. Thanks!

[Bax]

You should send these out as Stink Bombs, anyone unlucky enough to get it has to smoke it. Call it "hazing".

Now that would perfectly describe what that cigar tasted like. Thanks

This is one of my favorite daytime smokes, though I am a little confused because I don't think the Peterson came in maduro.

This is the funniest review I think I've ever read. I started to read it at work and had to stop because I was afraid I would laugh too loud. Now, if I could only find a box of these

Peterson Gran Reserva cigars, which are rolled in the same Honduran factory as Saint Luis Rey, has an interesting story. Peterson is a well-established, respected pipe manufacturer, and they contracted with Ashton Cigars to produce a line of high-quality, long-filler handmade cigars under the Peterson brand name. The cigars were introduced in late 2004 and received a lot of acclaim, including a #16 ranking in Cigar Aficionado's Top 50 Cigars in the World, and a 91 rating by Cigar Insider. Unfortunately, sales never caught on, and the line has now been discontinued.

I bought a box of these (naturals) for around $2 each, after shipping.

This cigar has been a winner for me. In fact, I smoked one this afternoon on the way home from work. It has a medium-body with an easy, but perhaps a tad weak, draw. The aroma is very nice, reminiscent of some good pipe tobaccos, in fact. The taste is very oily and slippery (if that makes sense) with a hint of bitterness or tartness that makes it very memorable. I have enjoyed several of these treats while sailboating on hot summer afternoons.
