Current CI catalog has 20 of the SF maddie toros for $39.99, and you can add a 5er of the natural robustos for another buck.

The catalog expires on Friday for some reason, so I'm gonna jump on it if I have any cash left after V-Day shopping. These are one of my golf sticks, and if I get them now, they'll be smoking great come golf season.

I don't think I have had but one IT that I didn't care much for. That was the Classic (I think) it's a corojo if I remember correctly, and I didn't care for corojo early on, but have found that maybe I do like them now. So maybe soon I will try another one and see if I do indeed like it now.

These are "sandwich" cigars, made/blended by DPG and are pretty good value for the $$$. JMHO.

No cello means a much better chance someone scratched their a$$, jiggled their sack or skewered a nose nugget then touched the cigar I'm going to put in my mouth.

If you touch a public doorknob or money, you are touching the most filthy things in the world with more germs than imaginable. Does that freak you out too?

Question.... Which are better? The Tabacos Baez SF Maddies, or these Holt's
Fumadores? and also what are the differences.... Fumadores looks like a Criollo
wrapper... Just asking because the benchmade have a tannic/espresso profile
to them... Maybe they get better w/ age. I'll have to pull one out.

Kind of hard to compare a $140 box of TB to a $40box of short fillers.

kenstogie · 03-22-2010, 03:02 PM

Excel,
Can't say I'd ever had the TB Sf's but after looking at the prices I would say more than likely the Fumadores would win, especially at 30 bucks a bundle compared to 135-145 prices for the TB SF's on CI.

I MUCH prefer the Fumadores. They have a significantly better flavor, and better construction IMO. The Tobacos Baez SF have a little of the tanic flavor that Benchmades have.

kenstogie · 03-22-2010, 03:05 PM

Forgot to add that out of the box these are ok but these cigars shine after 3 months or so rest.

I must be frickin ignorant! I looked at the first(primary)question asked.

put me in with the RP vintage 2nds fans. I'm a 1990 guy myself. the PCs are my perfect go to quick smoke. I bought a box of 1990 PCs for cheap on cbid, and plan on just refilling it with 2nds. they aren't as pretty but they taste great, and are constantly up on cbid.

03-23-2010, 07:11 AM

Thanks Trip! Bundle or two of Fumadore's will be on the way today or tomorrow! *lol* I really love your Signature line! Wow! You think the
fumadores are made with mix filler from the Tatuaje Brown Line?

If you haven't tried Por Larranaga Panetelas($50.00) or Rafael Gonzalez Panetelas Extras($40.00), I really suggest you do. They are all handmade short filler, from their other cigars. They are a great everyday 45 minute smoke, maybe more depending on how quick you smoke. The construction on some of them suck along with a bad draw on a couple out of the box, but besides that they are worth every penny and more IMHO, I would probably actually pay x2 of what they cost...you will not be disappointed I guarantee you.......

tomc3084 · 03-23-2010, 08:55 AM

whodenni-
no they def not be from the tat brown line, if they were it would be a tat cigar(like the serie p), this is a dpg cigar, so it would be from his stuff. I would def be interested in knowing how these taste. please do a review when you get them in!

nofeardiver · 04-21-2011, 09:19 AM

I think Fumas is made by Padilla? i bought a bundle of them from CI for like $19, they are actually decent mild smokes... they are what i would call a yard stick...

Killian · 04-21-2011, 12:07 PM

Ive been smoking some Flor de Olivas that I got last summer. I must say....they have completely changed. The first couple that I smoked when I got them were terrible. Now after a little rest they are smoking and tasting great. I might have to get another bundle and put it down for a nap while Im still working on the current one.
