does anyone have any opinions on these? ( you know, the same old, which is best, the very best, and even as good as lone wolf).

machine made cigars are made from the sweepings from the floor. picture you or your wife sweeping he kitchen floor and look in the dustpan. would you smoke that if you didn't have to?

The Floor! I thought they were at least table scraps from the cutting of the foot. And maybe some brittle leaves. I don't think I'll be trying those soon.

when your work bench gets full of sawdust or scaps of whatever, don't you use a dustbrush and sweep it on the floor? especially if you have someone else sweeping the floor.

I heard they were made from butt hairs.

Life is too short to smoke cheap cigars!

so, any opinions on the smaller machine made cigars from cuba? so far i haven't been able to get any straight answers on this from a couple of different boards. kinda got flamed on one as people there, " smoke cigars from cuba", and they do NOT "herf".
bummer. still, anyone have any information on these things.
thank you
fred

Hey Fred,
I have smoked a couple of machine made ISOM's. I would rather smoke a decent handrolled, for about the same price, though not ISOM.
Later
Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)
P.S. I really recommend the H.Upman handrolled ISOM, though. Thanks to Docrks.

JMHO, but there are a couple of decent, smokeable m/m or mm/hf cubans - Jose Piedra and Quintero come to mind. They don't even come clost to the hand rolleds and there are far and away much better Nic/Hon/DR smokes, but.........

More missinformation. The MM habanos are not made from scrapps swept from the floor. This is pure idiocy. The mm cigars are made from left over tobacco from the handmade cigars & larger vitolas. Good brands I' smoke are Flor de cano, Statos, Quintero,etc. From the more recognized brands, try Partagas Coronas Senior in Tube, or maybe H.Upmann amatistas, there is a plethora of MM habanos, that I' would rather smoke than Non cubans.
