Not calling out anyone on this board or group in general, but I get the feeling that a lot of these older brands are looked down upon here as low quality smokes. Can I point out any posts in particular? No, but I just get that feeling. It is nice to know that many other brothers here see that that is not the case. I thought for a while there that I was in the minority for liking many of these brands (Padron excluded).

Also present were the new Black Tat' and Red Tat' in the tube going for $15 each. Noticed some Anejo #46 @ $14.99 each. Go figure...

Very astute observation.
