AboutBill Finck Jr. Expertise I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR> Organizations Cigar Association of America, Retail Tobacco Dealers Association
Question I like small cigars (ex. Between the Acts) and would like to use a roller machine with paper to make such. Can you recommend a loose tobacco(pipe or other) to use? Thank you. - rich davis
Answer Rich,
Sorry, but I don't have a good answer for you. There really isn't any good loose cigar type tobacco on the market. There are lots of cigarette and pipe tobaccos, but none that I know of that taste anything like cigars. You might try something like Prince Albert pipe tobacco - it is unflavored, but its not going to taste like cigars.
