Applause

I stocked up on Super Premium 2nd's during
Nov. and Dec. 2015...($22 to $28)
( I've won about 5 bundles over the years before my
stock up)
Won about 4 or 5? bundles recently...
of various vitolas...
all of them are dark maduros rolled very well....I know some people here don't like them...but I do.
because...

- they come in bundles of 25
- NEVER had a plugged one
- they are always made well
- they don't canoe
- they burn even
- they are a low side FULL Bodied smoke
- I like Punchs, ExCalibers , Hoyo's all from the Villazon Factory
or used to be??
- out of the 125 that I've smoked... only about 10 got real harsh
half way through...I just tossed them ( at .80 cent to 1.10??
who cares, just toss the bad ones)

^^ JMHO)

^^ Not necessarily....

there's an embargo...

but they sure do resemble Cubans ...
cosmetically and construction wise...
