Found a Sleeper - Puros Huerfanos

Giant & 49er Fan · 09-14-2009, 07:29 PM

Came across these on CM a few weeks ago and just smoked one. Box on the way as I found them in Lancero! MMMMmmmm!

Anyone else familiar? Discuss...

BlackDog · 09-14-2009, 08:14 PM

I saw those on CM a few days ago. I'm curious about them. Will have to watch this thread.

3 different blends in this brand..
All made in Nicaragua

PH 143 = Strong, bold, full bodied cigar. Only available in Lancero.
PH 52X = Mild and sweet yet flavorful. Great morning smoke with coffee. Available in 4 sizes.
PH 681 = Full flavored and rich but bot overpowering. The most popular blend of the three.

These are 'orphaned' cigars from the same manufacturer. Originally, these cigars were produced to be incorporated into other well known brands but, for whatever reason, these particular sizes were removed from the lineup and re-packaged into this new brand exclusive to Famous, at literally a fraction of the 'name brand' prices. Unfortunately, we've been asked to keep a lid on the brands they were to be a part of and the manufacturer who makes them. We've complied with that request. I will say, though, that the three brands in question have been smoked and enjoyed by many on this board.

Cheers!!

Thanks Humberto! I look forward to my box of Lanceros

Up on Cmonster for another 50 minutes!

I'm really curious to try these, they are the same size as the Victoria's in the Tatuaje Havana VI line. I really love those Victoria's!

See the review...

duckmanco · 09-22-2009, 03:40 PM

there was a slight frenzy over these over at HP when a few members surmised that the 681 blend COULD be Liga Privada #9 seconds/blend ideas gone wrong/over runs etc.... (albeit with a 1/2" of cigar +/-)

I didn't pull the trigger but the ad copy about the broadleaf wrapper and brazilian mata fina binder damn near spell it out:

"Puros Huerfanos 681 cigars are rare, ultra-premium treats available only in a 5 1/2 x 52 Robusto. Presented in boxes of 25 cigars, this full-bodied blend consists of select Honduran and Nicaraguan Cuban seed longfiller tobaccos with a Brazilian Mata Fina binder, flawlessly rolled in an ebony Connecticut Broadleaf. The smoke is creamy and complex, offering rich earthy layers of sweet wood and spices. The outstanding quality and low price make Puros Huerfanos one of our best values. A MUST-TRY!" - as taken from Famous Smoke

Also a pic from the box showed some text that called the smokes "ligas".... consider the bush beaten around if'n you ax me.

madwilliamflint · 12-29-2009, 02:45 PM

I encountered these early on and absolutely love them. Yesterday I bought a box of (25) 681s from CigarMonster at $69.95.

Previously I'd only bought them in 5-packs when they've shown up on monster. I recently found a couple in the bottom of my humi, hiding from me. They must have been sitting there for a couple months and the benefit of some box time was really quite something.

Pick up a 5 pack if you're interested. They're a top 5er for me.

Razorhog · 03-06-2010, 10:21 AM

These are up on the monster now.

madwilliamflint · 03-06-2010, 10:26 AM

At the risk of being a pest I HIGHLY recommend them again. I just had my first one out of the box I bought in December and they're much more smooth and rich than the 5-packs I fell in love with a few months before. Really.

No no, really really.

Razorhog · 03-06-2010, 10:28 AM

Sounds good. Need to keep my eye out for a 5er.

Are you SURE???

Smokin Gator · 03-13-2010, 12:00 PM

Some gifted me one of these in about a toro size. I had been staring at it in the humi for a while and decided to smoke it this morning. Man it was good!! I am definitely going to try to find some more.

neoflex · 03-13-2010, 12:07 PM

You bastids, these are up on CM what I feel like almost daily. Now you summabeaches have me curious. Dammit, and I told myself no more buying for a while.

Adriftpanda · 03-13-2010, 12:05 PM

Haven't tried it yet, but I do have one from a while back that you sent me Jaime. It looks good.

Smokin Gator · 03-13-2010, 12:24 PM

I just ordered a 5er from Famous. If they are as good as the one I smoked this morning I will be checking out the Monster!!!

To give you an idea... I was out on the tractor dragging the field and I actually stopped a couple of times just to look at it and say DayUm!!! I really wish I would have just been sitting and enjoying it.
