Well it appears that the secret is finally out. I've never been a huge fan of Felipe Gregorio cigars, but have really enjoyed the Centenario Classic B and have about 6 5-packs that I purchased for an average of $7 per 5 pack. Recently the prices have been more in the $13-15 range so it appears the word is out on this fine flavorable cigar. Smoked one last night and it was 80 minutes of pure pleasure. Always a good burn and nice firm ashe.

jack, is that the "dominicus" or "dominicana?" found the latter but not the former:

We get the Cuesta Rey for $4 and the AF 8-5-8 for $5 bucks. Some deal the store worked up with a shop I guess and the place threw in a nice big 100-150 capacity humi too. I have to ride the stupid SH's (the guys who run the store) to keep the humidifier filled with distilled water.
