I smoked a cigar today called TRES HERMANOS. It was gifted to me by a vendor. He didn't really smoke cigars and said he picked some up while on a trip to New Orleans. He described it as having been rolled/produced in New Orleans. I didn't expect much... Wow! This cigar was awesome!! I called them and enquired, I believe it's a three country blend, Nic, Hond, and Dom. Maduro, very smooth but medium to full and very spicy. I really enjoyed it, but they're a little pricey though.

Yes, Robby. Decent smokes.
I picked up a box of 10 while in New Orleans. Black Label with silver writing. I'm waiting to see what age does to the remaining 5. However, in that same price range (less actually), you have Antanos, El Ricos, and ERDM reserva salados--IMHO a little better price and just slightly better sticks. The Tres Hermanos were a nice change of complexity.

wow! I can't believe someone else knows about these! Does anyone else have any hidden treasures? I really liked these, but had never even heard of them. (but agree if they were a little less, they’d be irresistible).

I paid about ~$59 out the door for 10 or somewhere thereabouts. Recently got a box of Antanos that came out to less than $3/piece to my door--for 20. Same with ERDM reserva salados. So no, they aren't a good deal.
