Just recieved the Barrel Humidor from my father for christmas, sure beats the Yo-yo case i have been useing for the past 6 months...Whats in your humidor? I love anything Drew estate makes, or CAO

you keep kahlua with your other sticks?

burgess beat me to it

i also wanna know how you smoke that intertwined monster!

Burgess, you cut that interwined monster apart. Cut the cords off each end, and unwrap if you will the individual sticks. THese started to get made by the rollers, as you coudl only take home i htink something like 2 or 3 cigars a day. They started rolling 3 into 1 cigars liek that one, and they only counted as 1, so they woudl actually have 9 cigars at the end of the day, that got counted as 3. Just a little info for yah

The story on the twisted sticks, known as a culebra (spanish for "snake") is actually not quite accurate.

The torcedors were allowed to smoke and take home a few sticks each day, but they were supposed to smoke/take home only specific designated "lower cost" cigars. Too many workers were ignoring the low cost sticks and taking the pricey stuff to smoke. The powers-that-be decided they had to stop this practice. They developed the culebra for the workers. If they were caught smoking anything but one of these - they were busted.

Many factories had culebras at one time, but they are now made by very few, Drew Estates being one that makes them available for sale.

thanks guys I always wondered about the culebras....

One looks like a BUTT plug!

thanks for clearing that up that up tuckerdad! I cant remember where I read that, but thats for clearing it up and making it factual!
