Los Statos Brevas "Flauta" . Very rare.

[El Presidente]

Flauta = Flute in Spanish. 

Very rare and little known cigar. 

 

 

 

Holy Moly!

     OOOOOHHHH, A-G-O-N-Y!!  The Horror - The Horror

[Ken Gargett]

in fairness, for all we know, these might have been sold for 5c each back whenever. or 5c for the box.

Those should be packed in foil. Not the least of the indications these cigars have not been cared for.

I used to smoke a ton of LS Brevas in the early 2000s after the MMs went away. Around $30/box. Great cheap & cheerfuls. Closest you could get to an old school Cuban flavor at that point. Very rich and earthy.

As far as I can remember, Spain is the only country where I've seen beetle holes in cigars on shelves for sale.

Definitely seen better days, unfortunately. Still, a rare and interesting find!
Just wondering, is "flauta" their actual name, or did they get that name because the cigars resemble flutes with all the beetle holes? ?
