Can't find anything either. All I can find is from D.R.

I read, They used to be made in Cuba. If so, who knows how long ago...

Maybe you smoked a very rare, expensive and sought after cigar.....

The original Bock was a Cuban cigar, but I did not think that they still made them!

PS not questioning Billy's integrity, just wondering if they really are an ISOM!

The band was totally different then the DR one and the cap/ash sure pointed to a cuban. Tasted like one too. It would be great if they turned out to be something other then an ISOM.

Airborne, I am not saying that they aren't ISOM's just was not sure that they still made the Bock in Cuba anymore!
Hey Slimboli, words of wisdom needed here!

Okay, Okay, Okay - Here is what I know - These come from a small shop where the store owner loved me. I had the good fortune of getting a half a box of these and threw a few in on a trade.

They are Havana's but I can't find the box to get the code off of em. Nor can I find the labels that I saved.

Slimboli - Where is that guy when you need him?

Anyway - M - I am looking forward to a few SS. LOL!

Regards,

Turned up some hard evedince in the Europe Cigar Journal Summer Edition - Imported into Europe from Cuba by Mundo Tabaco and the Lanceros received a 4 star rating - from a 5 star possiblity. I know what we all thing about ratings but this is purely background information. To put that in prospective the PSD 4 (One of My Other Favs) received a 3 star rating. This is a good gar!

Regards,

These are actually being made in Europe with Cuban tobacco but are not made in Cuba. Smoke are MM to the best of my knowledge.
