I bought 2 boxes before the last big price hike. Paid $340, I think. Within 2 weeks or so, they had gone up to $425. That's a nope.

What RH Do You Use For "Low"???:-)

Unfortunately, that's the story for almost all the CCs I smoke.:-)

Been enjoying the lanceros by Aladino lately. The corojo, Cameroon and Vintage Selection. The Maduro cazadore is more impressive than the lancero, imo.

All the Aladino cigars I have tried have been excellent, Greg. :-)

60-63 is what I shoot for. The desktop is what I smoke from, so I'm not opening the cabinet all the time.

I'm gonna have to give Aladino another chance.

Shop here was running a special on Oliva so one of the ones I picked up was an Oliva V lancero. One of my favorite cigars in this size.

Just saw an article were they are coming out with a lancero for the Classic line soon, too.

I have tried everything they offer and all have been quite enjoyable except the Corojo Reserva. It's good too but not $4-5 better than the regular Corojo, imo. That is the only negative thing I have to say about Aladino. That's coming from a snob, too. :-)

I believe I got my first Aladinos from you, Greg, and I've really enjoyed most of their stuff too.
[Reply]

I've had all the Aladino lanceros and enjoyed them all. The Vintage line is my go to though 100%

Dave: The Vintage Line Is Corona, Right, Dave? A Little More Spice Than The Connecticut??? Thanks!

Nummy!! :-)

Is That The Corojo, Admiral? Better Than The Conny???
[Reply]

I think so, Greg, though I like them both. :-)

Thanks!:-):-)

Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I wasn't smoking cigars for 2 months (Covid).

I honestly don't know what is too dry. My humidors have gotten down to the high 50s a few times for a week or so, and the sticks were all fine.

Found my old fiver of the original Don Pepin lanceros. Going to try them with a friend. Fun to see how they all turned out.
