Los Statos brand, cremas

[Trusty_Patches]

Anyone ever have this brand? What’s it like compared to the more common brands on the Cuban vintage market?

Was a big Los Statos Brevas fan in the early 2000s. Could pick up a box for $30. Very earthy cigars. I liked them as daily smokes. Never had the Cremas nor have I had a LS in over a decade so I have no idea how they age.

They were dirt cheap when available - I would have called them yard gars. Had some from 1998 not too long ago and they haven’t improved with age - rough smokes. Not worth the crazy premium they command now in the secondary (seen them go for $150).

       *I've had a few Los Statos De Luxes (I don't know if they were Cremas), but they hold a special place in my heart as far as my truly FIRST intro to an authentic Habano cigar. I'm really regretful of their discontinuance too

I grabbed several boxes of the 1997/98 boxes that were available a few years back. Never had them fresh, but for what I paid.  Well worth it.  They won't rock your world but they are satisfying smokes.
