Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs

I have a bundle of Flor de Oliva maduros in the humi at all times....it's a strange and wonderful thing when a bundle stick is as good or better than many others two or three times as expensive. It's perfect as an everyday smoke. Also just picked up a bundle of Riata maduros....jury is still out on those. Of the 10 or so I've smoked, sometimes I like them, sometimes I don't.

Most of the NCs I smoke are bundles.

Famous Dominican 4000
Famous Nicaraguan 3000
Famous Honduran 5000
IT Super Fuerte bundles
La Floridita
Flor de Oliva Gold


There are lots of sub $2 gems out there. Ya just gotta look and take chances...and smoke quite a few dog rockets before finding the gems.

I have always enjoyed a good punch and the seconds of that the Consuegra is no exception. I used to smoke mainly seconds and bundles and it's hard to beat a Consuegra Natural or maduro.

I don't know if you have ever been to Lynn cigars, but they have pretty much every "seconds" cigar. And imo the Davidoff seconds bundles are a great deal if you like Davidoff. Same tobacco, less than half the price.

I always keep 2-3 bundles of Rosa Cuba. My picks are the Governors & Herencia. I always get them from JR Cigars you can get both bundles rught now for $34.90 for both. Put them in the humi for some age & they do get better with time. At $0.80 & $0.95 each, you cant beat that...

I got a bundle of unbranded perfectos from TNTcigars, for about 45 bucks. They ended up being pretty delicious. Not very consistent, because 2 of the 7 I have smoked were... revolting (harsh, soapy, acrid) but the others were creamy, spicy, a bit sweet and very chocolatey. I feel I got a good deal.

The Little Havana Overruns at Holt's are great. I would also recommend the Tropical Fever smokes from there as well. They only come in a thick robusto vitola, but if you're looking for a hearty Nicaraguan Puro, they're a great value.

Do those LHO III's have cellophanes on them? I ask because in my mind an un celloed cigar has a better chance of more people touching the cigar than one in a cello. I can handle the roller or the person putting the cello on it touching it, but the more people that touch it the less appealing it is to me. No cello means a much better chance someone scratched their a$$, jiggled their sack or skewered a nose nugget then touched the cigar I'm going to put in my mouth.

Typically, there are about 400 pairs of hands that touch the tobacco that goes into making cigars.

If you touch a public doorknob or money, you are touching the most filthy things in the world with more germs than imaginable. Does that freak you out too?

I know, but don't remind me, Greg...

Now we know what that "Barnyard Funk" really is... "Nutsack Musk!"

consuegras agreat buy or la finka cassadors

Well I'm sold. No sense in buying those highpriced $3 stick cigars, when I can be paying $2.50!

[ripper]

I am a hound for Rocky Patel Classic 2nds from Famous Smoke Shop. Have been their customer since 1970. If this smokes like a 2nds, then I am Barnacle Bill The Sailor. They are scrumptious!
The 2nds are Rocky Patel The Edge in maduro or corojo:

Looks like tobii3 knows what I'm talkin' about - those Connies are a steal.

Yeah, what's a little body fluid amongst friends?

My post was intended to be humorus. I guess with my lack of smilies and LOL's it came across as being paranoid or OCD like. (Tap Tap) Is this thing on?
