Cigars Made With Brazillian Tobacco

JohnnyFlake · 09-27-2011, 08:11 PM

Many cigars makers are now using Brazilian Tobacco. Many wrappers, especially Maduro are from Brazil. Also there has, most recently, been many cigars produced with Brazilian Tobacco as Binders and as Filler.

Which are your favorite cigars, at this time, that use Brazilian Tobacco?

BTW, I understand that "Dona Flor" is a cigar made mostly of Brazilian Tobacco. Does anyone have any that they would like to trade or sell?

Dona For's are fantastic but I have not had one in a couple years. I think they went through some trademark problems or something and the company changed hands a couple times. Not sure where they stand now or if the blend is even the same. They sure were great smokes though, shame I only have the empty 50 cab from the split I did with Bob and Skywalker.

I got them from a place in Florida, let me see if I can think of it. Maybe one of the guys I did the split with will remember and chime in.

OK I remembered where I got them from:

That box is totally different that a few years ago though but they are still using the same blurb, who knows. Also, 6x60? What the heck is up with that?

Gotta be a typo. The robusto (5x52) is the only vitola offered with the Selecao blend and yeah, they are pretty darn good.

The others offered by the same company are not that great, imo. http://www.cigarfrombrazil.com/Home_Page.html

Yep, the robusto was great but then I saw the 6x60 and thought 'yuk.'
