Has anyone tried one of these, or know anything about them? I was gifted one, and I've got this monster in my sweater'dor, 'cause it wouldn't fit in my table top humidor. It's a 48-50 ring, 13" long. I wonder....is this thing Monica approved? (lol)

Ran a Google search and found a Columbian cigar by that name. Not getting anything for Mexico.

Personally ... I've never smoked a cigar made with Mexican tobacco that I liked ...

Most of them just plain suck ...

I agree. I've not been really knocked out by any Mexican cigars, with the exception of the Te Amo Anniversario, which isn't a knokout, but a descent smoke.

Mexican Puros are bad, but lots of great cigars contain Mexican tobacco i.e. Partagas, Don Tomas Cameroon, La Luna. I think some of the higher quality San Andres maduro wrappers are very good.

Like I said ... Partagas, Don Tomas Cameroon and several in the La Luna line just doesn't do much for me.

The only La Luna I really liked was the now discontinued 'Little Havana Blend' ...

...and I seem to be immune to the appeal of Bucaneros, which I find to be an utterly unremarkable cigar. So it goes.

Wow ... they found a bundle of the LHB!!!

I still have almost a full bundle that I've been aging in my humi (the robusto size) for several years now, that I will treat myself to every now and then.
