Yesterday (Sunday)I picked up a box of La Hoja Selecta Choix Supreme (25 ct) for $25.00. What a deal!!
I think people passed them by because the promotional copy used by the Cbid folks may be a little dated. These are a new stronger blend. The original blend had a Connecticut wrapper with Dominican, Mexican, and Brazilian filler. This version has a darker, fuller bodied Ecuador wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder, and filler from the Dominican, Ecuador, and Brazil.
Ernie Carillo, the maker of La Gloria Cuban, El Rico Habano, La Hoja Selecta, El Credito, and others originally marketed La Hoja Selectas as a transitional cigar from the very mild cigars of the boom, but changed the blend about three years ago to one that's very close in strength to La Gloria Cubana.
