One bundle of Grande Robusto's Received Today and they are now in the Cooler. Just like a family of bears, enjoy your winter rest see you stogies in the spring.

I just got my bundle of robusto's today. This is my first time trying these. Is there any particular reason that the ratings are different between the torp vs robusto, or is it just that people tend to like the torps better because of shape? Also, how long do i have to hold off on smoking these suckers??? I am dying to try them!

I don't know why one is rated better than another, just the whims of the reviewers I guess.

What I'd do personally is take one or two and let them rest for a week or so in your humi, and then smoke it. Depending on what you think of it, you may choose to let the others age a few months. I've got enough "aged" ones to hold me over for a while, so I'm going to let mine rest until spring. Here in MN I don't smoke much in the winter anyhow, so it won't be too hard for me to leave them alone.

Claymores keep me off of just about everything. Just sayin.

I guess i will fire one up Friday then. Two days will be plenty of time for it to rest!

Picked up a fiver of these based on all your recommendations. Mac sent me one, but I haven't smoked it yet so I literally have no impression at all of this smoke. You guys and your stupid gang mentality. I can't help but buy into it. Wife = not pleased.

Had one tonight that had a little over a year on it.

Absolutely brilliant smoke.

Just picked up a 5er from illinoishoosier with over a year on them...MMMMMMM!!!! Ferg, the one I sent you only has a few months on it.

I really want to try one but I can't get over the goliath sizes they come in. It's just not comfortable smoking anything over 50rg, atleast for me it's not.

Maybe one day I'll break down and pick up a fiver for when I'm feeling a little masochistic.

I acquired some last October & they've been sitting since. Guess I ought to dig one out & give it a shot. I agree with coastietech on the RG...a little more than I usually like, so I've been smoking all around them.

That's why the Torp's are my favorite. You can more or less make up your own RG.
