the legend of bad machine made cigars

[rafa]

I have a lot of Cabañas Belvederes and Preciosas, Ramon Allones Belvederes and few Partagas perfectos. .All of them are machine made long filler, and have a great smoke , and a good price. They develope a lot with in 6- 12 months in humidor without cellophane. But they are hard to find. Curiously most of them are Code EAR and some months of 2001 .

I smoked an 89 Cabanas Chiquito and it was a little powerhouse. Ended up giving me niccups.

I miss the Ramon Allones Bits of Havana...great little powerhouses.

Current Quintero Brevas and Jose Piedra cazadores are excellent.

I agree with you Rafa, some MM are to me good all around cigars, well priced and preferable to me to many NC.

I smoked a Guantanamera about a year ago and I know I might get wacked for saying this but it wasn't that bad. It was gifted to me so it didnt cost me anything. For a light and inexpensive habano what the hell right?

What do you mean by current? For some reason I bought four boxes of the Brevas last year, abr 06, and they are utterly unsmokeable. I think the wrapper is an experimental asbestos corojo You need acetylene to correct the burn on the things. I'll just try another in about 2015.
