FasFil 5x Filtered Butane... Anyone Heard Of?

[SvilleKid]

Not sure what my brand is, but I've got a can of 5x at home that I paid under $5 at a cigar shop 2-3 years ago. But I'm still working on a can of Vector 3x I got 5 years ago, so I don't know when I'll dig out the can of 5x and see what it was! I'll also keep my eye out for the FasFil. Never can have enough good quality butane!! Thanks for the heads up!

Discount Tobacco across from Microcenter on Powers Ferry... I think it's a semi-chain or franchise around Atlanta.

I wouldn't go there looking for cigars, though... they had a 5' tall display humi with some really marked up sticks along with some that looked to be of questionable legitimacy (so A. Fuente with no band and "A. Fuente" screen-printed on the celo) as well as a bunch of "Cuban Rounds" with a log that was a clear rip-off of Cohiba.

I will check it out for the butane, lots of other good places in town to buy cigars

Agreed... I like "Wise Ash" on Cobb Parkway, not so much for their selection or prices but becaue they have an open-use lounge and they're 3 min from my office... I'm there once or twice a week on my lunch break. This, That, and the Other on Cobb Parkway also has a good selection and pretty good pricing, but they are also an adult book and toy store if that kind of thing turns you off.

I like Wiseash, John is good people and the crowd there is pretty laid back. John's selection may not be the best but he'll try and order in almost anything you ask for. As for This That and The Other, they have a surprisingly big humidor but I usually only go to B&Ms to have a place to smoke so I usually past them by.

The tobacco shop on Powers Ferry can be on my way home if I try so I might stop by and grab some butane to try. Thanks for the heads up.

Only reason I noticed them is because I was hitting up MicroCenter across the street during lunch and thought I'd stick my head in. I was pretty disapointed until I spotted the butane.

Ended up getting a Villiger Export Premium Sumatra to make the $5 credit/debit minimum... I've picked up the Villiger Export Maduro and Natural (paper wrapped) plenty of times a good 20 min smoke. The Premium Sumatra is a mylar/foil sealed single and costs about twise the other Villiger Exports. It's alos V-cut, which I like. It's the mildest of all three with less spice and harshness. All-in-all a nice little 20min smoke, but I wouldn't pay $3 for one again with the regular Villiger sitting next to it for $1.50.

Seems all the shops around me either have premium fuels marked WAY up! Most cary Xicar for $10/can...
