Bobalu in Austin
Does anyone ever get any of their cigars? I've been by the shop, but they seem a little pricey.
Is it true that Bobalu custom rolls Kinky Friedman's cigars?

I think Kinky leases them his name, or vice-versa. I'm pretty sure he smokes habanos.

Def a bit pricey - not bad, not spectacular

Haven't been to Bobalu in a while. I usually go to Heroes. However, whenever I'm in the downtown area (which is pretty infrequent, now that I work way the hell up north near Pville), I always stop by and pick up a fresh rolled. I wouldn't say they're great... but a novel idea.

At our Post Turkey Day Crawl I was gifted a Babalu Nicaraguan I think....it was a very smooth and tasty smoke. One of the Dallas guys...now in New Braunfels...has hit Babalu a couple of times and says he likes em. They are a bit pricey but seem to be good.
And yes he makes Kinky's smokes.

Hate to be blunt ... but I've smoked a couple and was not impressed at all. There are definitely many better gars out there for less $
