Bundle Database Help

[Badkarma]

I need some big time help. I'm trying to put together a database of what manufacturer makes what bundle. I've got a pretty good start, but have found a bunch of bundles that no one has given maker info on. And believe me, there are more bundles out there than stars in the sky!!!!!

If anyone has info on these bundles, I would greatly appreciate this. I will make this list available when it is somewhat close to being readable.

Yes, I'm a bundle whore. It's a sickness, join me.

I believe the Famous Nic are Oliva!!

[borndead1]

Don Rafael are made by Victor Sinclair in D.R.
La Floridita are made at Plasencia's Nicaragua factory
National Brand Nicaragua are made by Tabacos de Puros Nicaragua


That's all I got for now

[Badkarma]

Thanks guys. Updating list.

[dstaccone]

The fire brands are made by Indian Tabac so really by Rocky Patel.

I think the Opus C bundles are sent to retailers to refill boxes on the shelf with. So new boxes don't need to be made.

[earnold25]

check out www.top25cigar.com lots of info there in an easy to use format.

[Badkarma]

The OpusX and Padron were placed in the list just to see how long it would take for someone to spot!!!!!!!!!!


A lot of the "fluff" on retailers sites are taken from Top25 and other sites. They mostly dont say who made them. And most bundles are not reviewed there.

Nice list.

I never relized that there were so many bundled cigars out there.

I have about equal that amount already paired to the makers. I could not believe the numbers myself. So many stogies, so little money!!!!

Here's some starters, hope this is what you are looking for.

Cusano - is its own brand and if you aren't familiar with the C10 crown corona go out and drop $6.50 or so on one today!
Cusano's bundles are M1, P1, MC, and CC - these are all outstanding sleepers.

Villar y Villar - actually a boxed cigar. This is made by NATASA and distributed by Santa Clara (Lew/JR). Other cigars made by this factory include La Finca and Jose Marti that are also boxed, similarly priced, and much better blends IMHO.

Argyle & Top Hat - both of these are boxed and distributed exclusively by Holt's

FLOR DE GONZALEZ - this is the manufacturer's name. The company produces several lines including some highly reguarded ones made in Miami. The bundled version is a mixed filler "sandwich" made in Nicaragua. The higher end boxed lines usually also have a color appended to the name, such as "Flor De Gonzalez Gold".

La Aroma de Cuba - Not a bundle, boxed distributed nationally by Ashton.

Kingpin - bundled 6x60 parejo distributed by Holt's exclusively.

Thanks a bunch Matt. That clears up a few, but I really wanted the maker. The distribution helps.

I was being generous with the "bundle" title, mostly watching the prices instead of packaging.

I love my Connies and I have found that alot of the Villazon bundles are also some of my favs. So I wanted to put this list together to help others find bundles made by the same makers of their favorite companies.
