What the hell, I just ordered a 5'er of the Belicosos. I couldn't find any robustos.

I just hope they are better than a Cremosa.

Wasn't there supposed to be a review of the cigar in this thread???

In the end, the other factors—price, availability, intangibles—that we consider when making our final choice proved to be the tipping points in favor of the Casa Magna Colorado Robusto.
By intangibles does he mean advertising budget spent on ads? The top 25 is an illustration of why I prefer to read ECCJ.

Suppose there would be if people actually had them

I like to see underdogs but it does seem like a bizarre pick.
