Still Smitty's biotch!
Superior Cigars USA launched another boxed cigar.. I love it when bargain brand cigars fight their way into the ranks of the pricey premiums. The Habanos Puros Fuerte cigars were an excellent freshman boxed cigar effort.
Unfortunately like many sophmoric efforts of musical groups - the Habanos Puros Selección Suprema is a flop. The wrapper looks amazing, but must be treated with flame retardant. Flavor was not bad, but never good enough to justify the $6 pricetag on the rothschild I smoked this morning. The cigar both tunneled and canoed, even with 3 touchups.. Some of this can be blamed on the youth of the cigar; but not enough.. To introduce something new to the cigar market Habanos Puros has to make something better and less expensive than what the likes of Altadis, General, and the other big guys have. The Habanos Puros Selección Suprema is more expensive than the typical macro-premium cigar and just doesn't perform up to its price.
