I Adore Don Lino Africas
I adore Don Lino Africas.

This past weekend, my cigar line-up included Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrowns (still having wrapper failure problems with these), Ghurka Symphony (not bad, B/B+), H. Upmann Vintage Cameroons (good solid B+) and......Don Lino Africa. And I'd have to say, out of that line-up, the Don Lino Africas simply blew the others away.

I was attracted to the Don Lino Africas right off the bat. They have a certain romantic appeal, you can envison yourself smoking one around the campfire on the Serengeti Plain after a hard day of Kudu hunting. And on top of that, they are SUPERB, rich tasting, clean, even burning, perfect draw. I just adore these things.

CI has a special on the Don Linos, ten cigars for $19.99.

ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME?

NINETEEN NINETY NINE FOR TEN OF THESE CIGARS?

Gotta be the best two dollar cigar on the planet.

(NOTE: Five of those are the little "shorties". Still superb.)

I like the old version of this brand. It was released in 2003. It was sold out/off the market soon afterward. It was made primarily with African tobaccos, including filler and Cameroon wrapper, I forgot the origin of the binder.

The current version, which was released in 2004, only contains filler tobacco from Africa, its binder is from the Dominican Republic, and a Nicaraguan-grown Habana-seed wrapper.

The original Don Lino Africa blend was released soon after Montecristo introduced its Montecristo Afirque in 2003.

No.....but it certainly SHOULD be.

We could supply Kudu-burgers for quite a few herf-a-ramas with that sucker.

Haven't tried the new blend yet, but the old Don Lino Africa Duma (5x50)
was an awesome smoke.
I burnt through a box very fast, thinking I could always buy more, without saving any for the future.

So sad, but thats a really great price !

I just received a five pack of these in the mail today (thanks Cbid.) I'll let 'em sit for a few weeks and give 'em a try. They look pretty good!!

This is a very good smoke, I had one a few weeks ago and loved it too! Very earthy and big volume of smoke. Definately gonna keep a few of these around when I have room!

I just picked up a La Aurora sampler that has one in there. I'm looking forward to trying it.
