What does the general population here recommend from PDR, La Aurora, and LFD?

He gets them cheap there and can bring 100 cigars back at a time.

I have never had any of these brands.

If ya'll could, point me in a direction.

Untamed - might be discontinued at this point

Preferidos - Maduro, Cameroon, and Sumatra my favorites

Escogidos - prefer the maduro

The newer ADN Dominicana very good also

1495 and 1495 Brazil to round out my top choices

Stopping now before I simply list the entire catalogue

Ligero

Double ligero maduro

Colorado oscuro

Ligero cabinet

Andulasian Bull

Maybe some special releases from Litto.

Whistle will come along and tell you what to get...

And ya have to get some Chisels of something...

Haven’t had one in years...

I guess I will be putting a list together for him.....

Don't think I will go 5 boxes deep the first time around. Would hate to have 5 boxes of smokes I don't like.

He should be going next month.

When he gets there he is gonna call me with prices.

Ill post them here in case anyone is interested.

Stick with LFD........Ligero and Double Ligero.If you like a more mild cigar the Suave is actually pretty damn good for a connecticut wrapped stick.If you like a really earthy stick the Colorado Oscuro is excellent with morning coffee.The La Nox line is excellent.......I love the Petite,also comes in CG vitola.Anyway you get something LFD you don't like let me know........I'll take em off your hands.

You know me too well

the best cigars from the Dominican are exported. It is nearly impossible to buy a good cigar on the island.

that could be a 15 year old news flash, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

What's today? JK

I distinctly recall being told this info.

I heard/read something to that effect as well, but I’m not at all sure if it Dominican, or Honduras, or??

But I’ve heard something like that dang it...

I was trying to be helpful and really hoped someone would step up wif the real story.

Hope that isnt true. I guess I will have to send some to Whistle for quality verification.

HA!

I’m sure your friend can get some good cigars there.

Heck the Fuente factory is there,, and I believe they have tours and such

Other cigar houses do tours, etc.

But simply going to a cigar shop to buy cigars??

Maybe that might not yield the savings one might expect?

No clue, but worth looking into on your part, or maybe your friend has ideas?

He doesnt smoke, therefore has never really checked into things.

Ill keep you guys updated.

Maybe it'll be a foul ball, maybe it'll be a grand slam...

If I remember right Fuente JUST recently started tours and I don’t think it’s at all like DE where it’s as accessible year round or as frequently.

Frank I believe there is a hefty tax? So not a lot are sold domestically as most can’t afford them. I believe the most popular cigar IN the DR is a machine rolled........ Thundergerbil would be the authority on this I would trust, he’s the smartest smartazz on CBid no doubt.
