R.B. Fundadores

[Chulo]

I love these things! Lots of flavor and on the cheap!


Excerpt from online description:

The Villazon Factory is well known for creating some of the industries most consistent and recognizable cigars, including Punch and Hoyo de Monterrey. R.B. Fundadores uses the same tobaccos as these super-premium giants, but rougher, less visually appealing wrappers. To most, this will go unnoticed, allowing us to enjoy a top-notch handmade for just over $1 apiece. Filled with a complex blend of Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, R.B. Fundadores is available in two wrapper styles: Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra and Connecticut Broadleaf maduro.

Disappointed you shall not be mate. They are one of the better bundle smokes!

you are right-on about this smoke. Terribly inexpensive, especially on CBID.com and they live up to the hype written about them. Ordered a bunch and they are aging nicely. But, would check them carefully because I received a bundle with the dreaded "green mold" on 3 or 4 of them. Took them out of my circulation immediately, refrigerated for a few days, and repackaged them separately. Am checking this out very carefully, though! Other than that, the others I have received were just fine and have enjoyed the few I've smoked. Again, think they will improve with a little aging!
Best,

The first few I smoked were great...but, the last 4 were dog rockets. Hard draw, no flavor (probably me and my finicky palate), and were just awful. I recommended these to lots of people as a "go to" smoke since I enjoyed them so much, plus, they were made by Villazon! Go figure. I have a bunch, so, I will let them rest some more and see what happens. Have some gator's in the back of my house, so they may end up as gator-salad if they dont improve!
