Best of luck Steve, I look forward to trying your smokes. But PLEASE make a decent non-maduro, non short fill honest cigar for under $3 a stick for the cheapo's like me. I can't afford to smoke Liga's all day. We need a working man's cigar

Thanks

Jose L Piedra (short filler, but under $2/ea, and better flavor than most $3 cigars out there)

Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano. My new favorite yard gar, also under $3/ea. I should probably get a box soon.

I truly appreciate the honesty and recommendations. I also can appreciate the quality of a top tier cigar, but just can't afford them on a regular basis.

I currently smoke a lot of AJ's stuff and look for sales wherever possible. You can bet that I will sample your goods once they hit the shelves and save them for special occasions.

Again, best of luck and I wish you nothing but success!!

Think that qualifies. I would smoke those if I had to and I don't smoke many things.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a bundle. I like Pepin stuff and didn't even know about these. Score!!

Thanks for the recommendations. I tired the Ramon Bueso Habano but unfortunately I really didn't care for the taste that much. They were OK, but there are others I prefer.

Currently smoking Gran Habano 3 SLS, Ave Maria and Latitude Zero. Luckily I can get deals on these through CB.

Has anyone yet tried the Sobremesa and if so, what did you think?

I've been stalking my vendor sites for inventory updates for the last two weeks...still no sign.

Thanks Misch. I've seen the pre-order offers. Anybody know when vendors will be getting the goodies.

 

[THEMISCHMAN]

They should be there soon according to what I've heard.

Ordered a bundle Cervantes Fino earlier today from Havana. After much personal debate, I like the idea of a 6 by 46 stick. Home they're on the list of retailers that have received stock!

These are worth the wait. Definitely milder than you would expect.

I keep WARNING people about this - it is definitely a medium-strength liga that IMO is rich and flavorful, it is not a replacement for Liga Privada which is a much more robust stalk cut wrapper and potent ligero blend, whereas Sobremesa is a refined, balanced blend with more complex flavor nuances. The cigars are completely different, the only common thread between the two ligas is that I personally love them both.

This is why I keep encouraging people to TRY them first before committing to a box purchase - I would also suggest you try one of the smaller ring formats along with one of the larger as the split seems to be initially 50/50 as to which smokers prefer.

I would hate to think someone spends $250+ on a box of cigars to find out it didn't suit their palate.

Looking forward to these. Thanks for chiming in, Steve!

I love that Saka is doing a more refined smoke and not the powerhouse azz knocker that is so prevalent In the industry. I'm hoping others follow and reverse this current trend.

I think you are going to see more of this going forward. The California Cabernet went through a similiar evolution. For a long time over the top fruit, in your face extraction was what the consumers demanded (primarily due to a couple of high profile wine reviewers). Now the style is returning to better reflect the art of wine making with finesse, complexity and a bit of elegance.

Looking forward to these and hoping they hit the shelves of one of my locals to try.

Only guy I have ever known to go out of his way to talk cigar people out of buying his cigars by the box sight unseen.....lol. I have 3 people who I will buy their stuff by the box without smoking a single stick first....Pete Johnson, Jon Huber and the Crowned Heads bunch and Skip Martin's Roma Craft lineup. I never regret those box buys. I attribute that to all 3 of these blend to their own tastes and I guess my own match up well with theirs.
