I was wondering if any out there have had this brand of cigars before. I did a search, and found nothing. They seem to be of pretty high quality (construction, packaging,price, etc..), but I know very little about them. I know the founders of the company are John Belushi,and another actor,.. not that it makes any difference. Just curious what the opinions are on these guys.
Thanks ahead of time.

John Belushi has been dead for over 20 years.
It is Chuck Norris the Walker Texas Ranger guy who started Lone Wolf.

This is what T*******'* once printed about Lone Wolf, as captured by Coriolanus:

"Lone Wolf is a cigar that has weathered the vicissitudes of the boom and taken its rightful place with the best" T Catalog, pg. 8

You never know from those T*******'* descriptions. I have not had one. But I think it was Norris and JIM Belushi who started (lended their names to) the brand.

But if Chuck Norris was involved, it's got to be the best cigar ever. After all, he's the guy who has counted to infinity -- twice. Read about it here: http://www.chucknorrisfacts.com/

Sorry, I meant "Jim" Belushi, not John. I even thought about how much of a loss comedy suffered with John no longer around, just before typing out the post. So Walker Texas Ranger is the second actor/celeb involved huh.. Not really looking for a write up from a catalog, but thanks. I was just wondering if anybody had any first hand experience.

Had one a few years ago, so so. I think they may have reblended, not sure.


In heaven there ain't no beer,
that's why I drink it here.

I remember having a couple from a sampler a number of years ago. My recollection was that while it was enjoyable, it was nothing to write home about. In the C+/B- range for my palate. There were other cigars out at the time that I liked much better, so I never gave it another try. Don't know if they re-blended or not since I had them. I would try a stick again if it ever came around, but I haven't seen/heard about Lone Wolf in quite a while, and based on past performance... nothing I would go out of my way for. Of course, that's just one man's opinion.

I had one a few years back also and agree with cyberbob. It was nothing to write home about. It was ok. I haven't bought another one since and haven't seen them in any stores.

The original release was a pretty good cigar during the BOOM, but the boom went bust and so did Lone Wolf.

The ones coming out for the next 3-4 years have been pretty lame by comparison.
