CI/Cbid had these a few years ago and I liked them for a cheap mild smoke. Now they are back! :D The size I am smoking is called a corona but I would call it a corona gorda at 5.5" X 48 RG. According to CI it is the same blend as the Nestor Reserve Maduro, but with a Connecticut Shade...

WOW. This is a good smoke. One of the best Maduros I've ever had, and one of the best new cigars (new to me) that I've smoked in a while. WAY better than the JJ Maduro. Pre-light draw tastes like devil's food cake (not kidding, not exaggerating!). Powerful bite in the nose exhale and an...

Torpedo size. Got these on a Joe Cigar deal for $2 a stick. These are made by AJ Fernandez, a new "rising star" cigar maker in Nicaragua. Supposedly he worked for Alejandro Robaina for 20 years or something. He has taken over production of some of Padilla's cigars after Pepin stopped making...

These are a newer line made for Famouse Smoke Shop by Nestor Plasencia. What interested me was the blend: Nicaraguan and Mexican filler, Indonesian binder, and Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper. This is a big fat robusto, 5 X 60. The cigar is quite heavy in the hand but has a loose draw, almost...

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :ss Finally! They've been out for months!

I was checking out www.tinderbox.com the other day and noticed something strange. Gone were a bunch of Tinder Box's house brands, and now they are carrying Cigars International's exclusive brands? Perdomo Slow-Aged 826, Indian Tabac Limited Reserve, Magellan, Pirate's Gold, etc...

I grabbed a 5 pack of these cigars because I thought the blend sounded interesting. Dominican filler, Honduran binder, and Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper. The wrapper is a dark brown. These are made by Luis Sanchez at La Tradicion Cubana in Miami. What a GREAT, unique, flavorful and...

This is a Fullers Pullers house brand, made in Miami at La Tradicion Cubana. I am always curious to try cigars made in the USA, I dunno why. Good smoke, and at $45 a bundle of 25, a helluva deal too. Mild/medium in the "strength" dept but full bodied. Lots of subtle flavor changes; from...

Does anyone know a way I can contact Nestor Plasencia's El Paraiso Factory in Honduras? I did some creative Googling and came up with nothing. They recently discontinued a cigar that I absolutely LOVE and I want to ask if they have any future plans for the same blend. Thanks!

This is one of the few cigars that I started smoking as a noob and still like them. In fact, I would say I like them MORE now than I did when I first started smoking them. Man, I seriously love these smokes. Sweet, earthy, spicy, great aroma. Pound for pound, the best RP blend I've had to...

I was digging around in my singles boxes tonight when I came across this one. Had a price tag of $2.90 on it. I don't remember buying it, so I have no idea how long it's been sitting in the cooler. I would say at least 8 or 9 months. I was surprised by this cigar. Not impressed, but...

Just curious. :D

First, I am not a Fuente fan. The Green labels don't really do anything for me, neither do Hemmingways or Don Carlos. I snagged a couple of these at a B&M just out of curiousity. I could stockpile these bad boys. What a great smoke. Sweet and tangy with just a little bit of spice, getting...

I just smoked my first Anejo, a No. 50. It was good. REALLY good. WTF is with the actual prices being SOOOO much higher than the MSRP? I bought 3 of them in St. Louis for $9.40 each, which is still higher than MSRP but still within reason and incredibly lower than I see them anywhere...

I really cannot believe how good these are. This line, nats and maddies, are one of my favorite everyday cheapos. In fact, I am on my 3rd bundle of the nats and only 2 or 3 duds. Out of 50+ cigars, that's pretty good consistency for a $2 bundle stick. I believe this is my second bundle of...

Centurian double perfecto. I really couldn't believe how much I liked the first one, so I smoked another one. I like them. Nice flavor, decent burn requiring only a few minor touchups, perfect draw...I really don't know what else to say besides....damn. I guess I won't hate on Gurkha...

I can't say enough good things about this line. Alot of people automatically disregard anything made by Jonathan Drew, which is understandable, since ACID cigars are...different. But anyone who likes a mild cigar with tons of flavor needs to try a Chateau Real. The size I am smoking right...

Size: robusto First 1/3--Unique flavor and aroma but not much depth. Alot of power but not much of a finish. I like to take big draws on my cigars, but with this one I can't. It's an asskicker. I had to take my shirt off, and I can feel a buzz behind my eyes. It's VERY rare that a cigar...

It was for me so far. I'm not a big Rocky fan, but the Decade blew me away. Smoked a torp yesterday and thought it was a FANTASTIC smoke. 95 rating? Well....nah, but it was a really great cigar. Well blended, lots of subtle flavor changes. So far, the best RP I've ever tried. None of his...

MOMBACHO THERMONUCLEAR TRIPLE LIGERO What a stupid name for a cigar. Helluva tasty smoke though! Is there a cigar you like that has a ridiculous name?
