Do you have what it takes? Could you be the one? Please, this isn't brain surgery. I know just about anyone can review a cigar. I am however looking for 10 serious and experienced smokers to review some cigars from Los Blancos Cigars. We have Conn Shade, Maduro, Criollo and Sumatra to be reviewed. If you are interested please reply to this thread and let me know your preferred size and two preferred blends from the four mentioned.The first 10 that reply (must reside in the continental U.S.) will be the reviewers. I will contact you (PM) and send something for you to review. All I ask is that you post your findings in the REVIEW FORUM, each blend with its own THREAD. ON YOURS MARKS, GET SET, GO!

BTW, HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Guess this is like trick or treat.

David, Count me in also, I would prefer the toro or the robusto sizes. You can ignore Ozpod, he is my son and what he wants is whatever is in MY humidor (LOL) I really enjoyed the gold maduro, the red sumatra and the green criollo, they were some tasty smokes.

I haven't had one yet and would love to help out. Honestly though, I am going to be too slammed for the next six weeks to do it justice.

Wouldn't mind if you stopped by to burn one if you're in the area David! :D

Crap. Too late! Damn night job!!!

Oh, well. Keep me in mind next time, David.

Those Connecticut Shade and Criollo are two of my favorite cigars!!! (Yes, David, that was a Los Blancos Connecticut Shade robusto in my mouth seen on my profile picture).

I'm gonna spoil it for every one...ALL these babies are freaking GREAT Smokes! So there!!
All kid'n aside, I'm not much on the Criollo or Conn, but I was pleasantly surprised w/these, and the sizes are great. SUMATRA and Criollo-Double Corona, and MADURO and CONNECTICUT were Torp. I smoked 5 of each and my review is: GREAT SMOKE, GET MORE! Congrats guys, you wont be disappointed. And the POLO shirts are frig'n cool as well!

OK, here is who we have to review Los Blancos Premiere Selection Blends:

boomerd35, Htown, Greysmoke, maduroman, Smokeing Handsome Dude, OzPod, chip063, Rocky Rulz, Cigary and happy1.

Since I don't want anyone to feel left out, the following respondents can review Primos Cigars:

MrMaduro, acruce, JoeyBear, ER Doc, tobacmon, Fatman.

That should about cover it. If you could all PM me with you mailing address I would appreciate it. That would get things moving more quickly. I will PM everyone within the next 2-3 days to confirm sizes and blends that will be sent. Not to mention ensuring I have everyones correct address (double checking). I appreciate the enthusiasm and hope you all enjoy Los Blancos & Primos Cigars as much as I do. Talk to you all soon. Until then, smoke in good health!

Regards,

David A. Blanco

good stuff... I didn't post, since I'm 'outside the zone', but the Los Blancos and Primos that I've tried were a treat. I've been resting the 4-pack that David kindly sent along with my shirt order, and pulled them out yesterday for a buddy and I to try out - he had the Conn, I had the Maduro - both tasted like "more" :D

all I need now is for our dollar to even out a bit so it's not such a hit for me (both with the exchange rate on the credit card, as well as when it comes through customs on crossing the border) ;)

David,
I do believe I have the experience. To prove it, I invite you to read my last missive on the subject of sigars...it is named REdneck Review and can be found on the CO list of threads in the review section...let me know if you agree...

Guys,

I have read all of the reviews posted so far and I appreciate the time you have put into them. I am sure there will be a few more to follow. I just wanted to say that I am happy that you seem to enjoy the cigars and hope you all enjoy the upcoming holiday season as much as I intend to. Take advantage of the promotion and get away this winter with me to the factory and enjoy an early Spring.

Happy Holidays,

David A. Blanco
