Parodi!!!

[simplepipes]

Parodis are great cigars as are De Nobilis . . . have not smoked cigars for years but remember them fondly.

One of the favorite smokes of the late Barry Levin.

I’m convinced Parodi, Avanti, and Di Nobli are the same cigar just different packaging. Delicious.

yeah I read an interview with one of their big shots. Same tobacco. Parodi was New England's cigar and De Nobili was New York City's cigar. When Avanti bought out Nobili they moved production of all their lines to Scranton PA and they all use the same tobacco. Or something like that.

Not trying to derail the thread but has anyone tried the General Grant cigars?

You're not the only one. Everything Parodi makes is the same cigar cut at different lengths. That's why I like the KY Cheroots. Parodi perfected. I think they come one hundred to a box and without the cellophane wrapping.

I stopped smoking KY Cheroots (made by Parodi, I am not getting off topic) when I started subscribing to monthly deliveries from Finck.

Finck cigars are all unique. Parodi cigars are totally reliable. Tomato/tomato with a different accent.

Another favorite of mine was FX Smith & Sons (Craig Smith) Tuscarora made in McSherry Town, PA. An all-tobacco machine-made cigar with a near black Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Just excellent with some box age on them.

Did not (and still don't) need to spend ridiculous amounts for a good all-tobacco cigar. I was never concerned about long-filler vs. short-filler as long as it was all tobacco.

Smoke at your peril. If you enjoy disappointment, General Grant is the cigar for you. Look, I'm a Union man from way back but these cigars are a disgrace to the good name of President and General Ulysses S. Grant.

Smoke them if you have them until you put what's left over in the next box pass.

'Nuff said. One man's opinion.

my son also thinks the Parodi is tops and wants a box for himself

That is all I needed to hear
Thanks!
