I freak over their red snapper . I drop some serious money there when I visit each time I go down .. I love it . Their Grit Cake is off the chart . Anything they have that is " crab " is beyond etc ...

I bought 20 for 25 big ones so I didn’t have high hopes but I figured they would be great cigars to puff while doing yard work, walking the dog, or even for the occasional friend who doesn’t really smoke often or give a rats ass about nuance and mouthfeel and leather notes and touches of woody earthy blah blah. And they seem to be almost perfect for that. The only gripe I have is the construction isn’t always very good (I know what do you expect). So far I’ve smoked probably five of them and 2 of them unraveled on me. It’s not a huge deal since under that wrapper is a HTL binder keeping everything together enough to continue smoking. I’m probably going to keep testing the bundle waters and I’ll poke in here every year or two when there is a new post to see what’s new and exciting in the world of bundled cigars.
Have you ever been to Lake Winnipesaukee? I was there once. It was for a wedding.

Since I am not a cigar box collector, I am generally happy with bundle cigars. They are good value for a good price.

I have. It’s about an hour and a half drive from casa de Riff. It’s a nice place to have a wedding. Cigar boxes are handy In small quantities I have a couple with odds and ends in them one has several decks of playing cards. The other... I don’t remember what is in it I should check it might be something cool!!

New Cuba (Casa Fernandez), The Edge Fumas (Rocky Patel), and Factory Smokes (Drew Estate) are mixed filler. All of them run right at $35 for 25 cigars except for The Edge Fumas which come in 20 count bundles.

@Kevin Keith do these need to be stored in a humidor?

I bought some more casa Garcia cigars on my Florida trippier and pretty much so long There my bundle cigar of choice no doubt I didn't care for the maduro but the Connecticut is very nice for a mild cigar
