The pics are great, but I had to chuckle at the tip jar.

I think that would be a great experience to watch someone roll cigars.

Anybody tried these? I think I am going to get a few of these.

I have smoked 4 of them.

The Manny Especial Criollo: It was pretty good, but rolled the day before (They do not sell fresh cigars like that, these where for our herf) and was a Churchill. Not my fav size cigar. I think it would have been better with some time on it and a smaller size.

Nic Blend Maduro and Manny Especial Natural (Habano 2000) I smoked at the same time, both Robusto size. I had decided I would buy one of these blends so tired them by smoking them at the same time. The Maduro was more med to full in body and a little more flavor but not very complex. The Manny Especial was more complex with some good flavor and a med body. I picked the Manny Especial Natural over the Nic Maduro.

I also picked up some Dominican with the Natural wrapper in Corona size. Smoked one yesterday. While it was also a med body cigar it had some very good flavor to it, I enjoyed it very much and it burned perfect! I figured I could just tatse more of the wrapper on this cigar, to me it had a little spice and was nutty and complex. If I had smoked this one when I was there I would have bought more. And it is different then anything I have tired before.

All the ones I have smoked burned good, some a little off but not much and they fixed all by themselves.

Just got off the phone with them. I am going to order tomorrow, but need to figure out how much I can carry back with me. Kind of leaning toward the Manny Especial maduro, sumatra, and criollo. The guy I spoke to was extremely helpful and also says he would ship to APOs. Thanks for the info Frank!
