Re: Famous Nic 3000

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet No. 1
Fernandez is supposedly a pupil/protege of Alejandro Robaina. ;)
He makes the SCCC, Padilla Habano, I believe 1 cigar for Gurkha, La Herencia Cubana, Man O' War, and a few others.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet No. 1
Thanks for the review...and the reminder that I'm out of these. I like this line of cigars -- especially at c-bid prices!
To me they have a VERY floral flavor and aroma.

Cain Maduro vs. La Floridita Maduro
Fired up a Cain maduro robusto and immediately found it lacking. I wondered if it was just my tastebuds, so I figured why not fire up a La Floridita maduro and smoke them side by side.
Nope, my...

Re: Cain vs Cain
Smoked a Habano wrap the other day and was not impressed. :(
