Not those Jay...

My understanding is that many of the pictures were provided by other parties, who subsequently received no mention (for a variety of reasons).

Nice place, But with the new smoking ban, you can no longer smoke indoors there. I went there looking for a nice relaxing evening, only to be relegated to the sidewalk for my cigar. My luck was that it was 80 degrees and night. Without an exemption in the law for them, I suspect they will not...

There is one person who is often credited with writing it, and he does little to clear up the confusion. However, a majority of the information contained within was provided by other members of the cuban cigar industry, some of who for a variety of reasons require anonymity.

Min Ron NEE is not a real person, but rather an amalgam of a few people who contributed to make the book.

Top, Just to let folks know that at the Davidoff shop at the Venetian in Vegas, they are running a special. Buy two crown tubos, get one non-tubo crown, free. It brings the price down to under 20 bucks a piece.

I smoke 90% Cubans, and I find the Illusione line to be absolutely some of the best tasting and constructed non-cubans that exist today. They do not make any attempt to mimic a cuban flavor profile, but instead make a solid nic. cigar. They completely stand on their own. And yes, they sold out...

A great cigar. I am looking for some more singles to avoid cracking the bundle of OR's I have, and my jar...:ss

Why is Pete selling to CI anyway? I thought he had a problem with some internet retailers undercutting the rest of his shops and generally diluting the brands value. I thought he had decided not to do business with CI or CBid. :confused:

I heard that the release of the Cruzado line has been delayed and that it is now not known when it will be released.

Most are around that price point...unless your taxes are obscene in your jurisdiction...

Rain City cigars I think only carry's the white label Tatuaje's. They don't carry the brown label from what I know. Unless this has changed in the last week. Check out Cigarland in Shoreline (155th and Aurora Ave N). John, the owner carry's all the brown/red labels plus Cabaiguans and other...

Lemme give an example. I enjoy the Especial. It retails for less than 10 dollars a cigar (much less at many online retailers or B&M's). Another cigar I truly enjoy is the Cohiba Lancero. A great cigar with a different profile, but that retails for significantly more. The Monte Especial is also...

The Jar has increased the price hardly at all. The original release of the blacks came out to around 13 dollars a cigar as well. The jar is simply a continuation of Pete admiration (or pirating) of the Cuban cigar industry. And it is a nice presentation for an excellent cigar.

Taste is entirely subjective. I find them "worth the hype". If a cigar is good and I like it and I can get it, then I will buy it. Just because something is limited, doesn't make it fit my taste. I hated the East Coast/West Coast. I really like the blacks. I don't like the red label, but I...

That is a far to sweeping a generalization. It completely depends on the qualities of the tobacco that the cigar is made from. There are cuban cigars that don't benefit one lonely fart from aging. Try smoking an aged JLP LOL! I have a box of 1989 Belinda Belevederes that also fall into this...

Vitasea, AKA Doug Heiner, is a scumbag of the highest order. He pulled his crap on a number of boards, was a particular vendor's "drop ship" source in the US back in the day and some people who did business with the vendor received questionable cigars from Vitasea. He then took to pedelling his...

Thanks for the review. My experience is that it was an ok cigar. Definately not worth the price though IMO. This is a perfect example of the problems the Pepin cigars (made in the Nic. factory) are starting to show. More and more overhyped and overpriced homogeneous blends and many cigars...

It's the same stuff.

One word... Seriously, buy an Aristocrat. You won't regret it, ever. Ok that was like 9 words...:pp
