Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs - Page 3

They are cello'd...

Mr. Ed · 07-20-2009, 09:49 PM

I personally wouldn't worry too much about things on the outside of the cigar. Plus, since the cello is added at the end of the process, I don't think it would make much of a difference between ones with it or without it.

I would be a lot more worried about strange things inside the cigar. I've read and heard about string, finger nails, splinters of wood. I even remember someone on here finding a rock/pebble in one of their cigars(but I think it was a 50-60 year old smoke though)

I have never gotten anything funky in any cigars I've smoked yet (keeping my fingers crossed while knocking on wood). As far as bundled smokes or over-runs go I don't think they'll have a greater chance of having anything strange inside or on the outside than regular production cigars, but they're cheaper and more of them are made so the probability does go up (minutely)

I like "Original Cubans" for this kinda smoke. Great for a friend who says they want a smoke, but I know damn well they'll barely touch it. They're also great when I'll be boating or someplace where they're more likely to get messed up.

I just got a bundle of Holts Little Havana Overruns. Should I let them age a bit before smoking, or are they good to go?

Wharf Rat · 09-13-2009, 04:27 PM

The LHO IIIs I've gotten were fine after a few days resting from their trip. I'd tell you about aging but I'm smoking them too quick!

vankleekkw · 09-13-2009, 04:35 PM

I love the LHO, LHO Lights, LHO III, Famous Maduritos, C. Com (Brazilian, Corojo, Cuban, and Cameroon) for the budget minded.

What Dominican bundle smoke do you guys like? Do Famous or Holts have a Dominican with some good flavor and 'body'?

La Aurora Leoninos at CI is a fantastic Dominican smoke with a corojo wrapper. They have a good flavor and are medium-bodied. This isn't a bundle or a second, but they are priced the same.

While we're at it. Magellan Dominicans are a nice small mil change of pace cigar. Smooth and pretty tasty considering they're at 55 cents per.

True dat! These are amazing somokes @ about 25/$30 from CI. Oily and stronger than most Doms. For my $ any la Aurora second/ economy priced stick is better than a lot of premium smokes.

Mr. Ed. I'm a big la Aurora fan. I've got some maduro and cameroon perfectos would trade for other blends if interested PM me.

ON the cuban side, Jose L Piedra Petit Cazadores

LHOs are great ROTT. Gotta slow down on these as I am firing them up way too quick.

maverickdrinker · 09-15-2009, 05:27 PM

Just ordered 2 more bundles of the LHO coronas and 1 bundle of the robustos.

They are running out of the coronas. They estimate that they will be out of them in the next couple of weeks. You might want to pull the trigger if you were thinking of ordering them.

I liked the Consuegra No. 9 maduros, and occasionally
buy the RP X-Outs Liga 'C' from the devil site. The
RPs are seconds of the Olde World Reserve, which are
some of my favs, but they need sleep for 6-12 mos.

La Aurora seconds cameroon can be bought for about $30 for 25 sticks. Try Holts.

Very wise Noob right there!!

I'm all about the Perdomo ESV 2nds ... dang good cigars. The RP Vintage '92 seconds are great too, and the x-out C (OWR) are good but not quite the real thing, imvho.

BeerAdvocate · 09-18-2009, 06:11 AM

I really like the Fumadors from Holts for $30 a box!!

Mr. Ed · 09-30-2009, 06:52 PM

Had a Palma Real toro earlier today. For a buck a stick I would say it's worth it. Nice mild flavor, never turned harsh, good burn, nice draw. Good if you just want something to toss around.
