Dutch recommendations wanted

[Horsebox]

My wife is off to Amsterdam on a couple of business trips so I'll be asking her to pick me up a few bits and pieces. Any recommendations for cheap and cheerful Dutch smokes to add to the list?

Cheers [emoji1360]

Do you mean actual dutch cigars or are REs included?

If you can still get them the RA Petit Robusto (I think they were call the Specially Selected Robusto Corto) were an excellent smoke; I have a box sleeping in my humi

Thanks [MENTION=13383428]sheppsea[/MENTION]. I was after actual Dutch cigars - something small and cheap that I could light up when pressed for time or when pottering around the garage. That said, I will ask her to look out for the RA RE!

Here's ht eCRA Corto. A very fine RE indeed, I too have a cab resting & have had half a dozen singles & they just keep getting better. Possible the main LCDH will still have them, I only bought my cab a year of so ago in Belgium.

Der Olyphant are pretty nice, ranging from small to petit corona territory. They come in dandy wooden boxes, and if given some time to settle, are cheerful. I've had one that was clearly ill, but otherwise, no problems.

Just a further thought, remember the Dutch cigars are meant to be kept dry .i.e. no need to put them in the humi.

I've got a box of the dry Dutch cigars @Simon bolivar mentioned. Its a box of 20 half coronas that I picked up on eBay for ?4 and I take to weddings etc for people who want to try a cigar. They're actually very nice little smokes.

Off the top of my head no, they'll be on here somewhere else I'll look them up after work.

+1 on The Elephants. The vintage line isn't bad, although i've only tried the one

[MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION] I've found your Dutch petite Corona post alas no name in the thread. They were an absolute steal!

Dutch cigars are probably the best cigars to buy on Ebay as you don't have to worry about how they were stored!

how do dry cigars smoke? are they more harsh?

Not that I've noticed. Toscanos and Toscanellos are also dry cigars although they have been wet fermented and they're very smooth.

o ok...like the blackwoods...might have to try these dry cigars...keep them at the office
