Did we find out what those camachos are yet? Looks like a havana label?

This is the response i most often get. One of my really good friends had a box and I used to browse through his humidor and say "what the heck are these maria mancini sticks?".... and i was skeptical until i tried one.

My Notes - Nicuraguan filler, very dark, smooth, and chocolatey with a good flavor and a robust medium body (website says med-full body).

I wrote a review on "that other site" a while back if you want to....


Regardless, love the smoke, cant wait to let them rest so i will be opening one up tonight.

BTW, note the sheen on the wrapper!


The crazy thing is that last year they came nude in chests of 20... this year they are in cello.... hmmm.

IMHO It's the H-2000 wrapper that really makes this stick. A lot of cigar makers have moved away from this leaf since it's difficult to cultivate and very susceptible to diseases. I wouldn't call it a special occation stick, but you can find them at really reasonable prices. Worth keeping on your radar and giving them a shot if you come across them.

Like the Humidor. Very cool.

Oh is that part of another release? I've only smoked one from the fiver of originals I got and it was too powerful to retrohale. I wonder if they've mellowed out a little yet?

I've had them since July. I tried one after they rested a couple weeks and I could barely retro any of the smoke. It was rediculous.

Those Sungrowns are an awesome score. If I hadn't smoked a few in the past I would still think they were Unicorns!:r Not to mention a box with 8 years of age on them. You my friend step in sh*t when you walked in to your local!:banger

A B&M in Milwaukee had a cab of 60 for over a year and sold none of them. I was gonna buy 2 @ $5.50 each and the guy sold me the whole cab for $140 out the door :) They were on the bottom shelf in a huge humidor, and the lid was closed! They were below the Edges and El Legendarios and since it's a similar box, no one knew to look inside to see what was there. Great smoke and even better for a little over $2 per.

How are those Harvest Habanos? I love the normal Harvests but never tried the Habano.

The owner wasn't in today so i took advantage of it and grabbed the last Boris (he gave me the box too :D). There was a limit of 2 per customer and i had used my 2 up a while back. They have an entire box of Opus X A's from 05 with the coffins but couldn't pull the trigger... 45bucks for 1 stick? Maybe one of these days when i have lots of extra cash laying around.

Found some 06 07 and 09 liberties hiding in a corner so picked up 1 06 and 1 07 and snagged the sampler and HSG's from taboo.

oh yea... also picked this up too.

These are an excellent smoke - and you got a great price on them.
