Not bashing CF. I can highly reccommend their "boutique seconds" offerings. 5 bucks a stick, and I have seen some big boy EZ FHK's in there. I am not sold on the boutique moniker by any means, but all of the cigars I have had smoked great, and some were fantastic.
And Cigar Federation is the funniest of all...
"I'll tell ya if you haven't heard it...
A few months back, the Casa Cuevas warehouse in Miami was burglarized in the middle of the night...and the burglars made off with everything!
Including all the boxes of CUEVAS Flaco Limited Editions!!
So how...
Have either of these cigars taken a quality or flavor hit since the sale of DE? I used to smoke them all the time, but not since DE was sold. Any input appreciated.
Go to Atlantic website and buy a few varieties from the Curivari Buenaventura line. They are not expensive and great cigars. Also, they have RomaCraft 10 packs. Cromagnon, Acquitaine, BA, EC, etc. These are very good full strength cigars.
So...I smoked my first two Powstanie cigars. Yesterday I hit the broadleaf perfecto and today the habano toro. Damn. Wow. Both of them were a couple of the best nc smokes I have had all year. Not sure why I haven't tried this brand before now. Extremely rich, deep, favorful cigars. Atlantic...
My first order with Puro was spot on. I am in Southern California not far from them. I didn't take the customary tax hit and they included a thank you note, which may not seem like a big deal to some, but I appreciate it when I place a first order. It makes me feel like they give a damn
Puro..I...
I like the Katman for his prose, but I almost never taste what he does in a given cigar. I read the conclusion on a lot of reviews just to see if it was a good cigar. Most reviewers, and many cigar smokers, can appreciate a winner, in my experience.
I buy a box of AA every year asap. They never disappoint and they sell out quickly. I am half way through the 2016 box and each cigar is more fully developed than the previous one. Maybe I should slow down a bit ;)
I have the same model. Love it. Be warned...that Blue light temp guage will keep you and the neighbors awake at night. I covered it with Black Gorilla tape ☺
