Puerto Rico 965's
Just wondering if anyone has tried any of these? I was coming back from Puerto Rico on Monday and stopped in the duty free during a layover and came across these smokes. I couldn't pass it up considering I've never seen a cigar that uses Puerto Rican tobacco and thats where my family is from. From what the companies web site says they use Puerto Rican (Comercio) binder and filler and an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. I hope they are at least decent. I'll post a review when I get a chance to try one.

I have not tried that brand. I have however picked up and somked quite a few Don Collins cigars that I got in San Juan Viejo. Not the prettiest cigars but interesting. The ones aged in rum barrels are tasty.

Re: Puerto Rico 965's
    Good to see some Boricuas around.... Como estamos mi gente? Honestly, I never knew that was a puertorrican cigar... I am from Arecibo, barrio Sabana Hoyos and when I was a kid my grandpa and some other of his friend use to take care of an entire 150 Hectarias of tabacco plants...(I dont know what would be the translation of Hectarias in to english)... I remember that they use to do the "Tabaco de Yarda" Yard Chew tabaco... They use to rolled and then sell it... Any way... If you dont mind pass the name of the Cigars or the website...I will love to read about it and smoke them too... Puerto Rico have the same type of soil as Cuba, Nicaragua, Domincan Republic, Honduras, ect... Most of my granpa plantation was near pineapple fields that use to belong to the "Autoridad de Tierras" that use to produce pineapples for Lotus and Dove.... The soil is a red mud that when it rains will get really muddy and after 2 or 3 week after rain stop will still moist.... The other big plantation of tabaco I knew was in Lares... I will check with my family there and if I find something I will let you guys know... Sorry guys this next line have to be encrypted...lol...:   Boricuas... Si alguno de ustedes tienen un poquito de Pitorro que puedan conpartir... Mi papa me lo enviaba en bottellas de listering pero lamentablemente mi viejo murio... Aqui en Iraq caeria como anillito al deo para olvidar las penas y fumare un Montecristo que tengo aņejaito (8 aņos)...lol...Dejenmen saber...$$$   Gracias mi gente... Thank you guys.... |

Re: Puerto Rico 965's
Have any of you tried the Don Collins cigars? www.don-collins.com
It is supposed to be 100% Puerto Rican tobacco all hand-rolled in their factory in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico. |

Re: Puerto Rico 965's
Another NY-Rican here is waiting for a review of these sticks! If they are half way decent I'll get a box just for the novelty of it!

Re: Puerto Rico 965's
I didn't know the don collins were PR tobacco. May have to try those also. I'll see about trying one of the 965 this weekend.

Re: Puerto Rico 965's
Well, good to see the PR Herf is growing...
I cant say anything about the 965 but, the Don Collins "Puro Indio" is a good cigar... I smoke one that was age in a scotch barrel for 3 months...plus when they are rool they get the leaf sock on rum... Like some guys around say... doesnt matter what you smoke...mater is that you are enjoying it... and everybody have a diffenent taste...is all personal taste... Me... I give it a 10 in a scale of 1 to 10....Thats just me... |
