The first handmades that really caught my attention were Macanudo Portofinos. They were easy to find and easy to carry with you. From there I went to Fuente 8-9-8's and couldn't get enough of them. I pretty much stayed with Fuente products for years since it's what my B&M carried and what CA magazine pushed.

Back in the late 90's there just wasn't a whole lot of information readily available for the average cigar guy passed your local B&M and CA Magazine.

I'm very glad things have changed! This place is a a real blessing!!!
