Anyone every try any of these? If so, what are your thoughts?

I realize what they are and that they were not hand rolled by Fidel himself on the thighs of Cuban Virgins, but you can get a bundle of 25 with shipping (and vacuum packed with humi-packet) for $50. Heck at $2 a stick that is less than what the infamous La Perlas go for here after shipping is added.

When I was buying a lot of boxes they would throw 5-packs of these in as freebees. I never smoked one and would save them for when "non-smokers" wanted a cigar. They were perfect for this purpose.

+1 on the RyJ En Cedros.

I see, was looking at the wrong "Cedro." Might give them a try, but would still like first hand accounts of the Piedra if any.

the RyJ is gonna be a lot more impressive for that purpose simply for the name recognition. Those coronita en cedros have a cult following on this board, even if that don't seem to rate as high elsewhere. For what its worth, I think the cultists are right on this one.

I've had a JLP or two, and they aren't bad. If I had to buy a $2 cigar it would probably be on the list, but I think you're better off spending a little more.

They are pretty much my everyday smoke ( I don't smoke everyday). I buy them two boxes at a time and they make fantastic gifts for under $100.

The Conservas are not a bad cigar for the price. Hand made tripa corta with short filler. They use baccy from Vuelta Arriba IIRC and med+ strength.
