Cheap Fuente's??

MrJerry · 11-15-2005, 02:44 PM

Not cheaper, just a lower quality leaf...same great construction.

BTW, Arturo Fuente Jr. is NOT Carlito’s cousin, he's his uncle.

I guess I'm fortunate not to live in Cali, as I don't see any pricing on any Fuente that I can't beat locally. That Fuente Fuente Opus X for what? $28.95? Try less than $15.

Just received a 25 count of coronas. Want to try a couple?

I have had some (maduro) that were some of the most delicious smokes I have ever had, but YMMV from bundle to bundle.

Being training cigars, I always order the biggest ring gauge I can... I figger the more experienced rollers make these...

PM me and I'm sure we could work something out between our two stashes.

Dog gonnit!

I thought I'd have something to add. Turns out the Tampa sweethearts were not something I could converse about. I like the ladies in Ybor tho', those are my Tampa sweethearts.

Regards,
J.

Smoked my first TS tonight in the hot tub. Cold, light snow, light beer. Pretty good cigar, Tasted good, burned well, good draw. I'll have to see what I paid for these. If it looks good, I would like to try a bundle of maduros.

Who wants to try some of these besides debaire??
I'll keep a handful and share the rest.
PM me

The Flor de Ybor is one the best bundle cigars that I have ever had. I love the maduro belicosa.
