Never had 'em. Curious to know that, too... Another site has the "Bespoke" custom rolls. Wonder if they're any good as well.

Guantanamera Minutos

Box of 20 for $53, that includes shipping. Come's to $2.65 per stick, fits my budget perfectly.

The first inch leaves something to be desired but the more you suck the better it gets. ;)

Cuban yard gar?, whoda thunk it.

Was gifted to me in probably 2013ish on here. Wanted to save it for special occasion and decided this weekend at bachelor party was perfect timing. Thank you to the giftee, cbid strikes again!

That the 'Bespokes' or Ravi's? Ravi lists his in the CC cat, not the NC and I've always taken him as an honest broker.

The Bespokes are the only ones I remember trying years ago. Actually good construction but had a Nic kick instead of a Cuban twang.

Couple of new boxes of PSD#4 from AMP Nov '20. Pulled one today before they go in the freezer. Surprisingly very enjoyable ROTT. Gonna try another after they come out and if it's the same these will jump ahead of older boxes in the rotation. Prolly not a long term ager IMO.

Cuban cigars are a thing of the past.
I’m of the opinion the entire process to the final product has changed over time, the quality in cigars can not be matched.
I find cigars from South America especially Nicaragua are more superior then the Cuban market.

Yep.

I'm trying to smoke a H. Upmann Mag 46 right now that is plugged. The same as about 30% of the Cuban cigars I have tried to smoke. I'm conditioned at this point that if it's Cuban, the construction sucks.

^That has not been my experience. Been smoking them pretty regular now for... ohhhhh... 16 years.

Maybe they don't like me.

Of the last 4 I've tried to smoke, 2 were plugged beyond any real repair, and 2 were just very chitty draws.

I smoked my first one in about 2005, and it's been my consistent experience that Cuba consistently makes the chittiest quality cigars, construction-wise, of any country. By a fairly wide margin.

Why you keep buying them? Buy the ones you like that ain't plugged.

More for me.

Or get a Perfecdraw. Saved numerous Cubans, some Nicaraguans, a few Dominicans, and a couple Hondurans.... as well as a Victor Sinclair of undetermined origin

Or what Macs said. That works too
