Pinar del Rio Reference Guide

[Colebass]

It's always nice to see hard work pay off for quality cigar makers! I've smoked a few of the sticks and have enjoyed them.

Any info on this:

Bryan has been photographing these recently, and they look fantastic...

 

[LTS 4 Bad Cigars]

Thank you for providing what in my opinion is a reference guide on the best boutique brand of cigars, top to bottom in the whole industry.

Hmmm this is a great thread.

 

[MICSTOGIE]

Very informative, I am looking forward to having my first PDR soon!

 

[CSMoFo]

The Capa Natural is the same blend as the PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Maduro except it has a Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. The white banded Capas have the 4 year old CT wrapper giving them a more refined taste as opposed to the ones distributed through Thompsons.

These will be available in 3 months.

BOLD, RICH and FULL FLAVOR is what Chavet claims of their cigars.

This is a very fitting description of these Don Leoncio factory rolled beauties which get their charge from the Brazilian Bahia Maduro wrapper, Dominican binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.

These are available in:

Churchill 7 x 48

Corona Gorda 5 5/8 x 46

Robusto 5 x 52

Toro 6 x 50

Torpedo 6 ½ x 52

So is Kaleira (BG Photography) The official photographer for PDR?

 

[CSMoFo]

Bryan is a professional photographer who has a huge catalog of pics of a huge variety of cigars.

Checkout his work on www.cigarobsession.com where you will get a real dose of cigar porn plus some righteous reviews of many of the stogies discussed here on botl

Man, Someone should put all these together in paper, and make a cigar encyclopedia, with all the history, and different cigars.

 

[NCost]

Need to get this updated with their new Obsidian as well. Good smoke IMO

 

[filmar64]

Great info. Thanks. I have somked the value line an it is a good buy. I also got some oscoro and really like em. I am going to try some of the others. I great to see a guy like abe make a good cigar and not price so high most regualr guys can't afford them.

I just bought my first box of PDR 1878 Capa Madura. Smoking one now, ROTT. Very nice and smooth. A box of 20 coronas was $60. What a deal! Thanks for the excellent thread. Abe sounds like a good egg

Nice articles

Thoughts on this sampler?

After seeing Brian Glynn of CO mention PDR, this sampler caught my eye on Cigarbid. It's gone through bidding twice that i've seen, ending under $10 bucks both times.

What do y'all think, worth a shot? or are these the company's throwaway brands

 

[Mr.Draned]

I smoked this one a few months ago. It had about 10 years of age, was full of smoke, and extremely enjoyable.
