Question
MJ, I really enjoy this cigar and would like some advice on other similiar "smooth" cubans. Any others you can recommend? Also, can u recommend any online sites for cubans that are reputable. Am not going out of the country for a while and would like to get some. Tx

Sancho Panza Belicoso $$
Ramon Allones Specially Selected $$
Vegas Robaina Unicos $$$
Montecristo Edition Limitado Sublime $$$$
I can't suggest sites as the legality is questionable.
Read some expert posts as I believe some have covered that to a limited extent.
Try Padron Anniversary Exclusivo Maduro $$$ I still think this is vastly superior. Hoyo epicure #2 rating 1-10 is 8 on my scale which is good.
Padron Exclusivo scale of 1-10 a 15.I have an over the top scale 10-20 for the over the top cigars.
The only Cuban to get a 15 from me was a 1982 Dunhill Estupendos.
Rating a 19 is a Padron 1926 #9 maduro.
Enjoy
Mike
