Diablo Picantes

They ARE out of production, I think for a year or more now.
General Cigars made them & did a poor job of marketing, as it tried to push this as a strong smoke. They're a good medium in strength. But, as others have said, they're quite tasty & burn well. The Picantes are one of my favorite lunchtime smokes - lasts just about 45-55 minutes at my pace. Famous Smokes bought up all of the remaining stock, so they're the only game in town if you want some. Fortunately, Famous has been running quite a few "Buy 1 Get 1 deals on the boxes. I think I've got about 70 of these left. At $1/stick, it's a great deal.
