José L. Piedra Petit Caballeros — 4 3/4 inches (120mm) x 48. This cigar is the perfect size in my eyes and smokes great. I get well over an hour out of a stick. In Cuba they are one of the lowest priced cigars.
i also live in nevada, i have three wine coolers and keep them at 65 degrees with 62 rh. in the summer i have to mist my cigar prior to smoking to keep it from cracking.
i have a question? i was a a LCDH last week not in Cuba, i picked up two custom rolled cigars rolled in that store. when i got home i smoked one and it was just like one rolled by la china in Havana maybe better. i e mailed the LCDH where it was bought and told him how much i enjoyed the custom rolled i got. i also said if i didnt know any better i would say that was cuban tabacco . He wrote me back and said it is cuban tabacco , its all we use at our shop for customs.
Is this possible ? i did not think cuba lets tabacco leaves out of the country to be rolled into customs.
I am looking for some Belinda cigars, but no one has them in stock. I have a few left from my last trip to Cuba. I love them , I pick up some nice sweet tabacco and roasted nuts in every stick. If you have a chance to get some , buy a box.
I live in the desert, humidity in summer at 1 to 8 % no need to dry box, actually when I am ready to smoke a stick i spray it down with water then fire it up, smokes great . This is what works for me.
