It would be interesting to see if they'd let us "sample their wares". I just think it's interesting the lengths to which some people will go. I mean 60 year old cuban seeds? Or some nameless asian site who apparently has the creator of the original Cohiba making cigars exclusively for them? Seems questionable.

Some people see the glass half full. Others see it half empty. I see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be.

Just because someone's opinion is different than yours, doesn't make them wrong.

Better yet, post a question in the dear editors section and see if Dave has aything to say.

I am sure they would sell you singles or a five pack.

Give me a call & we're good to go.

Heres another like this: http://www.hatueycigars.com/hatuey/en/semilla.htm


SamuraiJack, I don't see anything wrong with that site unless I'm missing something. They are saying their cigars are true Dominican cigars made with Cuban seed tobacco. Thats very common.
The first site listed has claimed to duplicate the "Cuban" taste in their cigars.
There is Cuban seed tobacco grown allover the world.

littoines, you right. I should have mentioned that I stumbled upon this place in Reno, intrigued by a sign that said "CUBAN CIGARS". Looks like they toned it down on their site tho.
