Somebody here has bound to have info on these. They're going for next to nothing on CBid and I'm betting that they're at least worth the P&H to try them. I bid on a 10'er of torpedos. Thoughts? Babbles? Blow chunks?
 
When i say this name Fighting Cock. I first thought it had to be a pure dog rocket. The name alone just isnt natural. But thanks for clearing this one up.

LOL - I'll put you in the 'blow chunks' category. Regretfully, my bid, albeit a low bid is entered. Will CBid permit me to rescind? I didn't see a way to do that.

This is an understatement, one of the worst cigars I have ever had.

I agree... Tasted like dirt. Dirty dirt!
 
Wow,

I haven't seen one of these in years! They were Phillipines-made weren't they? Ugh. Bad stuff. Only thing I had that was worse was an Ornellas. Blech.

Wilkey
 
Pretty bad, I bought a 5er at least 18 months ago and tossed them after the first inch of the first one.

Now there is a Fighting Cock bourbon but that's a different story.
 
This in from CI

The silly name notwithstanding, Fighting Cock is a fantastic bargain! It's named after the Philippine national sport of cock-fighting, and for years this brand was a popular Philippine cigar with a '90' rating. Fighting Cock is now made in Nicaragua - which turns out to be a good thing since cigars from Nicaragua are a helluva lot better than cigars from the Philippines. Made by Felipe Gregorio, each is draped in oily Habano-seed wrappers, rounding out a nice, medium-bodied combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers.

So maybe these are different cigars? Can't wait for your review NullSmurf :p
 
Hmmm, if that CI description is accurate, there is a chance (albeit slim) that these aren't the cigars that taste like the bottom of the COck-Fighting ring in which they were rolled.

It seems I'm stuck with the bid. I'll send the wife and kids to Utah and alert the fire department before I light up. If I survive, I'll post.
 
there IS a GOD!

They're not from the PI anymore but I gotta agree. I need to find an LBFM just to up my opinion of the PI again.
 
I, too, fell into the 85 cents a stick trap on CBid for those "wonderful" smokes. lol

I live in Columbia, SC home of the SC Gamecocks, and figured they would be cool to have at tailgates for my cigar smoking friends. WRONG!! After the initial buzz over the bands, we all fired one up, and I could tell everyone was looking for a way to pitch them without hurting my feelings. LMAO

They're not the worst cigar I have ever smoked, lots of smoke, decent construction, and the burn was very consistent, they just have NO flavor worth talking about.

You could get a similar experience, by driving by a grass fire with the window down and taking a deep breath.

If you would like to try one, PM me, and I'll gladly send you one.
