la vieja habana??
i know alot of traditional smokers hate drew estates cause of their flavors, but the la vieja habana is amazing, and not flavored. it is definately my favorite cigar in this category, and every year the flavors seem to be getting better. the corojo is my favorite. in fact a few years ago this was our top seller three to one at our shop. unlike alot of cigars in the $2 range, it is completely handrolled long leaf greatness. if you havent tried them, give em a try. sure they aren't as spectacular as much more expensive cigars, but they are the best bang for the buck!

I liked them initially, but have moved away from them as others have stepped into LVH's spot in the rotation.

Good! I picked up a box of these when cigarmonster had them up for 25 bucks. Haven't had one yet though. Guess I should fire one up the next time it's warm....

Nope they are still Cuban Sandwich. I have not tried one in about 4 years now. I used to like them then the B&M stopped carrying them.

I got the same deal for the Brazilian Maduro when CigarMonster had the box for $25 and I loved them. Was pleasently surprised on how good they were after spending $25 on a whole box. Fire one up!

I smoked boxes of the fumas. They had a ton of great smoke output and the flavor was exceptional, ditto the construction. I was really disappointed to see those go, can't help but feel nostalgic when I see one of those old boxes in my basement.

hey Cooljc, have you ever tried the leather patch version that Cigars Intl is carring, they are really good I would say medium bodied but the wrappers are flawless and they have a great nutty flavor and aroma?

I agree the corojo is very good.

If I was to smoke a mixed filler cigar this would be it.

I enjoy the Brazilian maduros, but none of the others. They're a tasty inexpensive smoke
