New to this board but not gars.

My wife happened to pick up a (25) box of Jose Marti Cuba Libre Robustos Nicaraguan at COSTCO of all places for $22. Never heard of them and never had tried them so I wasn't expecting much. Put the down for 3 months before trying and they were very good. Good everyday smoke. I have looked everywhere for more but have yet to find them. Anyone out there every come across them or know where I can pick some up?

Nice price. "Good everyday smoke" indeed. My experience has been aging these is very helpful. In fact, I have some Valentinos on long term rest. Used to go to Remedios size as my daily.

These are fairly common [use Google] & occasionally marked down as much as your wife found them [but ya gotta keep looking]

Yep. Great meat & potatoes cigar. Never seen em quite that inexpensive though. Usually around $35 a box.

Well, I'll tell ya, I have "googled" and searched with no luck. I'm starting to wonder whether they are out of production...

They are out there. Am not allowed to tell you where. Rules are rules. I'll tell you this. They are stocked by a very well known & not so well liked (by some folks in the cigar business) company. They are made by N.A.T.S.A.

Good luck.

I see them all the time in Charlotte, NC. They ddefinitely need some time in the beox to age and dry out a little. Usually, they are so moist they have a tight draw but after a few months they are much much better. For the price, if you have the patience, they are hard to beat.

Very good information! Found one of these in the coolerdor and really didn't know much about it until now.

Thanks guys!

I couldn't tell you a thing about these smokes, but welcome to the boards.

If you're still looking for Nicaraguan "Cuba Libre"

you can buy them from Mike's Cigars, Miami $22.50/box

all sizes www.mikescigars.com They also sell a Honduran version...same name made by Nestor Plasencia.

oops ! guess I wasn't supposed to tell you where. Should have read the rules first! No competition to cigarbid or CI sorry ! won't happen again....

lakesregionguy,

No harm no foul... I found Mike's through google yesterday; before I read your post...
