Does anyone know if they're still available anywhere? As far as I can tell, I think they were discontinued around 2014. Be keen to hear about it if anyone has a more recent box date than that. I think Ravi gets the tubo's occasionally, but as yet I haven't summed up the courage. To be honest I wish they'd do it properly, or not at all. Surely R&J do enough second rate little cigars to satisfy the whole market, without having to drag poor Belinda into having to do the dirty work.

CaptainQuintero Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I was going to say I was given a single a few years ago but thinking back it would have been circa 2014. It was comfortably in the Guantanamera realm of quality. Even the Troya plastic tubed cigars are a noticeable jump in quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me your address and I'll send you out a 3-pack. I had one yesterday evening. By that time, I already had a HUPC and PLMC earlier that day, plus pizza for dinner and a few tipples of V&T and Bourbon Sazerac - didn't want to waste something nice on a frazzled palate. It's not a bad smoke - burns well and slowly, somewhat sweet and unobtrusive, but without much in the way of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 ICT handles Belinda and Troya--another brand that became relegated to the dustbin of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very kind offer, but my two humidors are literally jammed up, I couldn't fit a rizla paper in there. Thanks again for the offer. Just saw this, another great advert from Dunhill New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasGuy82 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Perhaps someone in marketing at Cuba Tobacco was scorned by a lady by the name of Belinda and thought this a lasting way to get back at her... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so curious as to what these used to be like. The quality, long-filler ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
