Heard this from my local B&M owner per his rep…

A lot of the boxes of Crowned Heads Las Calaveras EL 2023 cigars got destroyed in shipment. Water damage due to container ship issue. Apparently he won’t get any only large accounts will, then random draw for small accounts. They’re giving him some old batch of La Coalicions they found instead.

This other B&M I’m at now has 3 boxes and they’re available online. So I don’t know. Now I gotta buy one and try them in case I need to load up. Guess I’m a sucker buying the hype.

Bro lemme tell ya something.

Cigar reps on the whole would sell their moms Mexican tap water and tell them it’s Acqua di Cristallo.

Now I know a rep really well that’s a great guy, but he doesn’t sell brands I care for. Hear some good stories from him being on the road at various B&Ms. We’ve had reps at my local that I’ve been nice to while showing the SHPO manager that the rep was a moron. And we had one rep that managed to make himself look like an absolute idiot. On the whole some BOTL can hold onto lord like fact, but most of you tell them “I don’t know but I can find out” they’re not gonna roast the guy.

Owner of a B&M in PA is a self proclaimed industry insider. He claims that Padron is using San Andres wrappers for their maduros.

As a guy that doesn’t care for SA, unless Padron just recently started using it, I’ve smoked a decent amount of PAMs and X000-series maduros to know that the wrappers aren’t SA.

As a company who has always proclaimed their cigars to be puros in their advertisements that would be a disaster akin to Bud Light.

These are things I’m hearing at local B&Ms and cigar lounges. From owners, fellow cigar smokers, and cigar reps.

The Feunte Destino line being aged 12 years came from an B&M owner who seems to have a medium size Fuente account. Gets a lot of a the lot of rare hard to find stock.

^ well given the thread title I suppose it’s a good post…..

Where have you read that by someone reputable? Because I haven’t read hide nor hair of any age specifics of ANY part of the blend anywhere I consider reputable.

I don’t believe cigar reps I LIKE.

so the hype around cigars and cigar tobaccos today is pretty much like the buzz about the different kinds and quality of grass that was spinning around in the 70's?

Maui Wowie, Panama Red, Oaxacan, Acapulco Gold, Columbian would prolly help the sales of some cigars, at least among the boomers

Started this thread to share some of the rumors I’ve heard over the years via word of mouth…

A worker at a local B&M/lounge overhears me telling my friend I like the CAO flathead 6x60. Proceeds to tell me all thick ring gauge cigars use lesser quality tobacco. Stating manufactures couldn’t afford to use that much premium filler per cigar due to costs/profits. I think he also stated more viso tabac is needed to keep them burning because of how thick they are.

I always think of the “…fine Columbian…” when I see or hear that word:

Never thought Maui Wowie was all that. A strain called “Mango” was much better…ahh, well, at least that’s what I’ve been told. 😁
