Those are "CONTRABAND" from Cuban Crafters:

They are fantastic! Super creamy and rich.

Also the ones that say England on them are Eric's personal smokes, from what I understand he had them blended and the band is custom made too. Nifty stuff.

Wow what a horrible picture, I didn't know it was so bad when I took it.
I had to snap it fast before the wife saw my newest purchase.


I hadn't seen the El Truinfador Lancero before.
2 different Kristoff Ligero Maduro vitolas (Never seen the small one before).
And one of my newest favorites the Fausto.

Yep...My review will be up today, and I was quite surprised at how good they are (since I have not smoked many of the marca before)...

Sad really...

Damn Brooks! I thought i put myself in check when I bought 3 instead of five
initially. Now im gonna have to smoke one to see what the fuss is about!

Are you gonna remove the end of the tube and put the caps in a ziplock bag
or will you store them intact/sealed?

Don't know yet....the box I opened seemed like the sticks were quite wet, so I may open them all and crack the tubos (no need to take the lid totally off, the air will get in there just fine)...They are still sitting on my desk, since I have nowhere to put all of them at the moment lol!

I smoked one when they first came in and yes, I think you're right about them being wet. I can't count how many times I had to relight the thing. Still a great stick, but they need to reeeeest.
