Top Ten Cigars made in the USA

actually most of those cigars are rolled and blended by people who have a tone of years of experience in the cigar industry (unlike cigars made in nicaragua and dr, whose rollers are far less experienced). the problem is that it is small batch tobacco, so the quality of the leaf and the consistency of the product is not optimate.
 
I'd put the Padilla Miami's in the top 10 as long as it's one from a box prior to 2006. I bought my first box of the Miami robustos last November. An awesome, absolutely wonderful cigar. Not an ISOM, but not really nice. Nice enough that I bought a second box of the robustos last May. Completely different cigar. One dimensional & very very very dry. Plus the packaging was atrocious - they came in a different box, one intended for a much longer cigar & they'd tried to make up for it by putting a chunk of wood to take up the space, but the wood was way too small. A few of the feet were split and there was loose tobacco all over the inside of the box. Mucho unhappy.

Have you smoked one of the ones rolled in Miami? They are a different animal than the regular LGC's.....

How can you tell the difference? Is there something on the label or box indicating the origin?

The ones rolled in Miami say Miami 8/11, I like the Pepin blue labels and the Tatuajes as well. I think I seen this article, wasnt it done in 5 parts? Very interesting read if it is the same articles, I know I learned alot from it.

You've had an EL O lancero. Too much tequila affects the memory:al.
 
A very good writer, have only gone through parts I and II but bookmarked the cigar envy site.. I am a big fan of Tres Hermanos Torpedos. The author really nailed it talking about how at the factory they are a different animal than once they have sat in your humi for a year. It is a tremendous cigar..
 
Hey guys, I just received a 5 pack of the Sabor Cubano Gran Torpedo. I ordered on 10/25 and received on 10/31 - 4 business days. They came very well packaged (USPS) and were in a Humidipack. This is the best packaging I have seen yet not including illegals.

These cigars look awesome in their construction, but sadly I will rest them for a couple weeks before burning one:mad:

I am on a quest to try all of the cigars talked about in the arcticle.

I will post some porn in a new thread as well as here later today.

:w

Hmm anyone have opinions on favorite Piramides?

I've had the fortune of trying slightly aged VegasRobaina Unicos. and they are heavenly.:w
 
I think that I would have put El Titan de Bronze on the list. Made by an old time cigar family in Florida. Tremendous cigars at good prices. Must order some more. Also, Moore and Bode possibly deserved some recognition. Paul

The Cabaiguan Belicoso Finos are a WONDERFUL smoke. THey are not as strong as a Tatuaje Unico but they still have tons of flavor.

scottie
 
I have yet to come across a bad Tatuaje, and I LOVE the Havana Souls! Great for those times when you just wanna get hiiiiiiiiiigh....:w :D
