Moncada cigars?
My Mom and stepdad went on a cruise recently and brought back some cigars for me that they bought from a roller in the port of Roatan, Honduras. They look like nicely rolled maduro torpedos. and are named "Moncada."
I haven't had a chance to try thrm yet. Anyone have any experience with this roller? |

Re: Moncada cigars?
I visited the same port last August and bought some cigars from the only vendor on the doc. They were great, very mild. I have his card. His email is moncadaciggars@yahoo.com I've email him twice but no response so far, I'd like to order more. He was rolling them right there on the doc. Price was 15.00 for a pack of seven. His phone, which I haven't tried yet, is (504)9966-2240

That's what is on his business card and it doesn't bounce back as a bad address, but worth trying. Thanks

I tried one and I would review it as "a toasty flavor." I put the rest in the 'dor to try after a while. |

Re: Moncada cigars?
Those cigars are good but have you ever try Cuban Cigars? Those are the best of the best in flavor, texture, presentation and price.

As for your comment, there are many who prefer Cuban cigars. However, there are many who do not. "Best" is purely subjective.

Re: Moncada cigars?
I finally heard back from Sr Mancado via email, in spanish. According to the spanish translator I found on line he says he is a small vendor, rolling small quantities working at the mercy of Carnival Cruise lines and cannot sell on line. Oh well.

Re: Moncada cigars?
I just got back from a cruise (Princess) to Roatan and saw Sr. Moncada rolling on the square next to the hair braiding lady. I bought a pack of 7; immediately tried one....liked it so much, I bought 3 more packs. I also touted their quality to a few other people in front of the roller....they also bought some and Sr. Moncado rewarded my salesmanship with 4 additional free cigars. They are NOT tightly rolled, but definitely a 50 minute + smoke...leathery...tasty and mild. The price went up to $20/7...but up the stairs to the right was another store with Cubans @ $15 ea. I've tried 'em all and Cubans are not worth it...to me. A good Dominican is just as good, so don't be lured into the mystique.

And since you've tried them all, we'd love to hear more about your perceptions of the individual marcas/vitolas.

I think that's why he said "...to me" at the end of that statement.

Based on the fact he has tried them all, I would like to hear more than a general statement, MJ.
