I still chuckle at my continuing awareness that everything about taste is subjective and despite all reviews, you still have to try the cigar yourself. I got a box of the Black Pearl Rojo robustos at at Cigar.com for under $40. Given the so-so reviews, I wasn't expecting much. What I got was a cigar full of flavor right off the truck. Intuitively I feel this smoke has some great aging potential, so I'm putting most of them away till the spring. It's about time this happened to me, I have lost count of the times I followed the crowd about a hot new stogie and ended up disappointed.

I find the rojo a very nice smoke, but the Morado(purple label) is a kick ass smoke, one of my favorites!

I have smoked a few La Perlas over the years and was never really super excited about the Cigar until recently. I just won a bundle of 25 Morado's at the Southern California Cigar Alliance First annual event and I tell you, this is a great cigar.

While I'm not sure why, I also throught Black Pearl was a Thompson house brand. But La Perla Habana is a small-scale operation that launched in the mid-90s and was able to survive the cigar boom. As Dough Wood says of his company, "We make cigars one at a time, and we sell cigars one box at a time."
