America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

First off, Happy 4th everyone.!
Ok so I did a search and came up empty. I wanted to see if anyone buys cigars from Cuban Crafters and what sticks are worth it. They always have bundles on sale but are these what some of you guys call "dog rockets"? Any feedback is appreciated.

The way I found out about them was from a cigar cutter review I saw online (The perfect cutter). Went and purchased one and noticed all the different smokes.

Hear the have some good oak "sticks" and elm. Hickory is pretty good as well. I stick to smoking cigars these days, though I did smoke a brisket over the weekend.

I only use oak logs. Sticks can have too much trash on them making the smoke taste bitter; same with mesquite/hickory/pecan. They might be ok for coals but really pecan/hickory produce too much ash mesquite is reasonable for coals it burns a little hotter than oak but not near as much as cedar. When I make coals for barbecue (less smoke than smoking) you can bet I'll throw a few cedar logs on the starter pile to get it good and hot then I'll come in and round it out with the oak so that the coals run the temperature they need to be for duration of the brisket. Come to think of it, I really do use sticks but only for the initial light, after that it's all logs.

Thanks for the smart-ass replies. I guess some of some of you guys get triggered by the word sticks. Either way I'm going to try a few they can't be any worse than some of the crap that's here on C bid and Cigars International.

I'm a republican far from being a Democrat. I love my country my cigars and my whiskey. So keep your assumptions to yourself. I don't want this to turn off topic. So if you have any opinions on those cigars, then great if not keep your comments to yourself.

On the other hand, it might be that some "get triggered" by your blatant disregard of the rules our host has outlined.

No, it was so you could talk about your little twig. Face it, you're a douchebag. You were given a pass at first. didn't take it, NOOOOO! You went full retard. You want it, you earned it. Take your little sticks to StickBid.com because you're on CIGARBID.COM. You cannot smoke a stick. You can light it on fire but you're not going to smoke it. Stop pretending you are. All the idiots that use "sticks" to describe a cigar are idiots. You might be their leader. Peddle your crap somewhere else...nobody wants your crap.

No, it's not going overboard.

Deal with it. This isn't Puff.com

Boy you must be fuming right now the amount of times you've edited your comebacks. I will deal with it no problem. Thank you for caring so much.

You know what happens when you put blood in the water looking for sharks??

lol, I like this guy.

I'll dox your azz snarky.

I'm glad Snowflake Sally bucked up. Good to see another swinging dìck around here. Welcome to the club.

Thank you. Your input is greatly appreciated.

I like them best after letting them rest for a few months.

First off, it's great to see you use the word "sticks"! It really annoys all the self-important douchebags around here who laughably think they're the "language police" who decide what words are okay and not-okay. Very sad, but hilarious.

Cuban Crafters is the late Don Kiki Berger's company (may he rest in peace), and they make some good self-branded sticks. The Don Kiki Red is my favorite of all his sticks, but I hear the green and brown are good too. But for your first stick or bundle, I'd recommend the Red.

Hope that helps!

It does. Ill give them a try. I call cigars sticks because 15 years ago when I got my first humidor from a local shop, I meet an old Vietnam Vet. He referred to the cigars I was buying as...Sticks!. "Themes is good sticks" The owner of the shop called them sticks as well. So that's what I call them. Thanks again for the info.

Thank you. I can definitely buy a few and leave them in the bottom of my humidor. By the time I finish smoking all the ones I have they'll be nicely aged.

Or you could just be a man and learn how to cut your damn cigar with a pair of cigar scissors... just sayin.

I cut my cigars with the same knife I use to dig out toe jam.

I cut my cigars with the same tool I use to open beers... a hammer.

I'm a big fan of several of the Cuban Crafters blends. The Don Kiki Brown label and the CC Cameroon are my favorites. I'm not a big fan of Connecticut shade wrappers, but the Don Kiki White label Limited edition are probably the some of the best I've had. The La Carolina is decent too although a bit mild and hit or miss (I've had really good boxes and really average to bad boxes). If you want to read a few dated reviews go here: www.stogieguys.com. I am not sure of the quality control since Don Kiki Berger passed away. I have not had the Brown label in a while (they are not always available), but was IMHO, a great cigar for the money.

Yes !
