Blanco Cigars

After trying 3 new cigars out of the Blanco line up, criollo/maduro/connetticut, I was pleasantly suprised
by all of them. If I had to name the best new line up for
a cigar manufacturer that is up and coming, I would have
to go with these guys. I realize I have not tried all of the
new samples, but I was very impressed by the cigars,
as well as there retail approach.

I believe that Nivek has already gone over the boxes, and
replacement liners that you can use for the same box. A
Churchill, or Robusto can be used in the same box, just a
different liner, very innovative, and a lower cost to the
retailer, who can in turn, charge less to the customer. Or
charge the same.

These guys are straight up, and love the cigar industry.

Just picked up a mixed box of Conneticut, Maduro, and Sumatra wrapped beauties and put them to rest in the humi. I, too, had heard great things about these. I'll post a review after I've tasted them for myself.

Not to correct you buddy, but the name is Los Blancos.

They are nice cigars, I reviewed the Sumatran and like it alot. I've got a maddie here that I'll smoke later.

Sevenmag, I should have researched the name before I posted. I new it
was close but not correct. I have a limited amount of time to post these
days. Thanks

How did they come packaged? Or did you buy them at your local tobacconist?
