Jack, when you get around to it, can you post us a little review?

Where might I find some of these online?

If the search is still on, this is probably a real good bet. I haven't smoked this particular vitola, but I enjoyed the belicoso just last night. It was of similar strength and flavor profile.

I've smoked gazillions, and they are fantastic.
Whether they still are made from the same tobacco, I can't tell you. I can't see why it would have changed, but they removed that info from the site a few years ago.
I'll bet that when you try them, you'll find that it's true. :-)
Scott, I ordered a bundle of the No. 500 (4.5 x 50). It was $48.45 for twenty, which comes out to only $2.42 per stick (before shipping). I'll let you know how they are.
:-)
Jack, have you tried one of those HUHCs that Dave sent you yet? Would love to hear what you think.
