Keep them coming José, This is great info

As for the "Mad Dogs", honestly I like them and when you look

at the price, 1 Euro for a bundle of 25, I like them even more. I had my frist

El Crédito in Santiago de Cuba and like all the other local brands, I find them rather

Tasty, great with an expresso.

Wow, not thinking too hard one might think that in Cuba, Cubans can have whatever cigars they want. I didn't ever think about it before but it sounds like the average Cuban can't buy or afford a Partagas or Cohiba. Now I will think twice about complaining about a slight underfill or blemish on cigars I can afford to buy.

Yep very intersting information. First time I tried domestic CC a year ago, El Credito with simple blue band. They are good with coffee and at fishing=))

I''ve had several peso cigars on my trips to Cuba. Most were not that great, but a couple gems. Wish I'd kept the bands of the good ones.
