Here is another one from the Budget Bundle Brigade.
It’s the 1876 Reserve; this one is going to be short and to the point ….DON’T
Do IT!
This is a
very Mild Dominican and by very mild I am saying it is like smoking air! They
come in a Bundle of 20 and in one catalog I have seen them listed as a “2fer” 2
bundles for between $49.99 and $59.99. They are about a buck a stick and they
taste like you should get change back from your dollar.
Despite them being handmade with 100% long
leaf filler the ash is flakey so it is all over you when you smoke, the feel to
the wrapper is smooth to the touch, but feels as light as they taste and it is
so bland looking it should be over looked!
I have gone
to great lengths for you my loyal readers I bought a bundle of Robusto’s 5x50
and a Bundle of Toro’s 6 x 50 and let me just say That if my wife reads this
and sees how crappy I say they are and that I bought more than one bundle she
may reduce my cigar fund.
The only
people who should smoke these truly bad boys of the Budget Bundle Brigade are
the folks that are just starting out smoking cigars because they are
inexpensive, not harsh and it will show them what not to buy ever again.
This one
rates 1 out of 10
Thanks for
reading – Remember keep your Cigars moist.

P.S. They
have a Maduro version of this cigar now and it isn’t any better than its
predecessor.
