Has anyone besides me tried Magnum Force? IMO another marketing blunder. The cigar wasn’t all that bad if you like true full bodied smokes.

I’d like to see a review by someone in the group at SR.

I love the cigar band on it. Its lettering looks like it could be on a box of condoms…do they have a Magnum version? =)

I think the most interesting thing about this smoke is that its name is obviously a marketing technique gone bad. If I’m reading this correctly, Walt, you enjoyed the cigar despite its name, not because of it. And as Cigarfan mentioned, he thought it must have been a “real barn burner.” I, too, would be wary of purchasing this cigar because of its weird name, but it sounds like it performs much better than advertised.

Have you tried the XL for Women? I think they call it the ST Dupont… Or the XL for Martians, the new ACID cigar?

But seriously, I’ve wondered about this cigar, partly because of the preposterous name. I thought from the hype it must be a real barn burner, but it sounds a little more civilized than that; from your review it sounds fairly balanced. Actually, it sounds like my kind of smoke. Thanks for the review Walt!
