A friend is coming back from Mexico and he could bring me a box of cigars. I've told about Te-Amo and Santa Clara. What's your opinion? Which are my best choices?

If your going for Te-amo, go for the Gran Cortos (64 ring gauge) I have the Nicaraguan blend which is awsome, the cuban blend just scored 90 in CA's last issue. Cheap as chips too :)

First real news I have heard about these. I noted them advertised in CA and assumed a NUB clone, but maybe not.

I've sent an e-mail to my friend asking for these.
They come in boxes of 15 as I've seen and in four blends (Cuba, Dominican, Honduras and Nicaragua).

Wasn't the ED El Condo 109 a Mexican release? There may be some floating around down there

I wasn't that lucky since my friend is not going to search around for them... :(
I guess I'll have to wait for somebody else to visit Mexico and bring me some Gran Cortos...

However, he told me that he could buy me from Duty Free and I think asking for a pack of three romeo y julieta No. 3 tubos... Do you know their price on Duty Free?

I had some 'rough ranger' cigars from my old cigar shop, I think they were rough rangers or something, they were fab lanceros, I bought a stock of em, and I didn't even have a humi back then!

In general or are you referring to a specific vitolla?
pepeel

In general, its not only my opinion. Most of mexicans are to sour to smoke it :)
saggel
20-01-2010, 01:41 PM
Now I want to try them even more!

Feel free to smoke them. Its only my feeling :) I heard that 6th generation from A.Turrent are a good cigar.

I heard that 6th generation from A.Turrent are a good cigar.

This is true, I was in Bransons Tobacconists in Farnham awhile back so I purchased a couple to try, a Robusto and a Torpedo...

Whilst they didn't blow me away, they were very favourable as a day to day cigar...
