I love a good cigar, and they can be as addicting (and EXPENSIVE) as my other addictions.


And what kind am I smoking?

I enjoy good Cigars as well. I dont smoke as many as I have in the past, however, I still smoke 2-4 per week. I smoke alot of Vegas Robina's the D.Alejando & Unicos are my favorite. And I like the Motecristo No.4 Reserva and the Cohiba Siglo VI as well. Hell, I like any good cigar!:wave:

I love cigars. When I first looked at your photos I was trying to figure out what brand it was then I saw the 420 on the cigar ring. LOL Nice photos.

I like Rocky Patel cigars and love cuban cigars when I can get them.

Hey, trouble. I am a big fan of any good cigar as well. I'll give just about any of them a try.

Yo, Bud...I thought the 420's had a certain flare, and they are Nicaraguan...which I find to be where most of my favorites come from now.
The wife gave me some Rocky Patel Vintage 1992's and they are fantastic smokes.
I managed to get some Cubans back from the islands one year, and they were like candy...didn't last me too long, lol.

My humidor has brought many an arid bud back to life as well. A secret many bud tokers don't know about!

Whats up, 1TT!
Yeah, the 420's are a boutique brand made by Tabacalera Esteli (nicaragua).
They own the Cuban Crafters website. I got tuned on to the 420's during my search a couple years back for the best cigars I have ever smoked, the Cupido churchill.
Tabacalera Esteli was making a limited amount of the Cupido's for a few years, and they were absolutely raved about at any shop or show that they turned up at.
And for good reason...as these little rascals have a flavor like no other I have ever tried. They had an almost nutty/spicey taste that was every bit as good after you would let one go out and relight it, as the first puff. They are listed as a mid to full bodied smoke, but the flavor is such that even the folks who can't stand heavy full cigars loved 'em.
They stopped making the Cupido a couple years back for whatever reason. And what a shame. They tried to push the La Carolina as their direct replacement for the Cupido, but they didn't even come close (although a nice cigar).

The Cupdo is now back in production, and as of yet I have not tried the new ones. Hopefully they will be the very same roll as before. They will be my next purchase.

I also highly recommend the 420's which have a very mild, but satisfying flavor from start to nub. And they just fit...if you know what I mean.

I'm like you, 1TT...a nice buzz and a good cigar on my deck with the fountain water running and the birds chirping is a hard thing to beat!
That's when life is good.
:smoker:

I'm gonna have to try a box/bundle of those cupidos.
I've never orderd from CC,but i get thier monthly e mail,and read alot of the descriptions/reviews.
I've thought about trying them b4 juss never got round to it.
I think you should give the Turano Exodus 1959,and 1916 cameroon.
The 1959 is very complex spicey blend,on the strong side of med.
The 1916 is lighter,its my fav Cameroon wrapper,it has a earthy sandlewood kinda flavor.
Tampa Humidor is a gr8 website,chk it out.

PEACE;1TT
