Royal Barbados cigar?

[Schecter30]

From Caribbean cigar company in Barbados.

I'm pretty sure I had one of these on a cruise a long time ago and If I can recall it was cuban tobacco. That said, I just saw on my local shops website in Jersey that they are selling them http://www.cigarsplus.com/Merchant2/...=ROYALBARBADOS Im assuming this can't be the same one I had on the cruise or maybe its not even cuban at all. Anyone have anymore information on these cigars or had one because Im lost, ha.

I vacationed Barbados last year, visited the shop, watched them roll and bought some of their smokes. The filler is cuban. I found that same vendor, bought a box, they tasted the same to me. The vendor also told me they are the only ones selling these smokes in the states. Not sure how they do that, didn't pressure them, just placed an order. How did you like the smokes?

Hello, I will be in Barbados in 3 weeks, is it worth it, to plan buying a couple of boxes of these cigars? which one did you have tried? Did you pay the price of their website or they are nogociable? Thanks

The cigars are good, IMO they could use more filler, the cigars felt spongy. My suggestion would be to visit the shop, watch them roll and buy 1 to 5 and judge for yourself.
I bought the Royal Barbados No. 2 cigars, price paid was the price on the website. They had another line with cameroon wrappers, Lord Sam cigars if my memory serves me well.
I hope you have a great time there, I know I did.
