“I could tell it would be an outstanding cigar from the mere looks and feel of it. The size was another plus no less, and I was not disappointed by any means. Much more mature than overpowering bodied and consistent to perfection. And thanks to CI, neither am I disappointed in picking up a huge 10pk for a super great price.”
“I guess cigar makers/rollers/tobacco growers etc. must change their recipe for making a particular cigar over a period of years because the last Chateau L I smoked (probably in early to mid '90's) sure seemed to be MUCH fuller bodied-full flavored. It was the double maduro type and I remember saving out some paycheck dough every two weeks just to buy a half dozen. The one I had just this summer was truly plain and quite "bundle cigar" tasting...sad deal.”
