A purchase inspired by m j toal's Stanley Cup Final Winnings and the Caldwell Collection Eastern Standard Corretto he provided. Don't buy many Connecticut Shade wrappers, but I dig the culebra vitola and have heard a lot of positive reviews about the Caldwell Eastern Standard. Look forward to trying these and the Corretto. Thanks DBII for the culebras hook-up.

Smoke one and let us know how you like them. Nice pic...

Looks good, very interesting cigars. I've always wondered how the Culebras smoke, what with being all twisty and such.

I've always had them smote very well. Takes a very skilled torcedor to roll them (same for perfectos of all types) they are usually better than robusto or toro vitolas

^^^this, I've never smoked a poorly constructed culebra.

I've been digging on some Caldwell but have not smoked one of these or the Anastasia I just got yet.
