Quick Smoke: El Tiante Natural Belicoso
26 Aug 2007
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
On Wednesday baseball legend Luis Tiant spoke with us about El Tiante, his own special blend of cigars. Like many in the cigar industry, Luis said, “I wanted my cigars to be mild and smooth with lots of flavor.†After smoking a six inch by 54 ring gauge Natural Belicoso, I can tell you he hit the nail on the head. With a habano Nicaragua wrapper and an Indonesian binder, this stogie is smooth and creamy treat with plenty of floral notes. Construction is superb. I suggest finding a retailer near you.
Verdict = Buy.

Glad to hear the cigars are good, especially since Luis sounds like such a nice guy. While I don't live near any of the retailers, I'm planning to purchase a box online.
I've tried both the Natural and Maduro Robusto and found the Maduro to be much more enjoyable .
